Spurs Vs City Post Match Thread

[Gabriel]

Not that surprised. That formation was that deployed at QPR last year, where we were equally toothless and lucky to escape with a draw. That the manager sees fit to deploy it again is somewhat of a surprise, but MP is stubborn in his ways. Our defensive frailties were exposed in Stuttgart and again today, heavens we were a shambles for the first thirty minutes at Sunderland, so it really is no shock that we surrender so meekly. There are some big players in that team, but I'm not sure there are big hearts yet.

Aren't you lot tired of the hit or miss league campaign under this Chilean gentleman? I can only imagine what a real manager like Carlo could do with this team in this overrated league.

 

[Mcfcbing]

Our season changed when pogba played that pass

 

[bondsman]

Anyone think we still don't need another cf?

 

[Bobbymanc]

We have no fight in our team

 

[Hungarian blue]

I can hardly blame anybody after today. I was so furious and upset after that Kane's offside goal (ffs we still looked comfortable to get at least a point by that point) that I just started browsing some shit sites instead of watching my stream. I hope no one will start crying about Pellegrini as he's got his starting eleven spot on and we if it wouldn't be an idiot linesman or our chance conversion would have been better at 0-1, then we'd easily win this game. I know everybody will though.

Collapse was bound to happen soon, but not THIS soon.

 

[Neville Kneville]

We addressed the squad perfectly in the Summer. Signed 3 world class players and offload a load of shite ones.

The playing staff are the best in England.

It's the manager. We don't need a Pellegrini or a Pep type boss. This club, the fans, the players they need someone to unite them like Ancelotti or Klopp.

Sorry to say, you are right about Pellegrini. (Not Pep)

We can rightly have a go at the officials, but the lack of organisation & flexibility is the manager's fault. It was evident v Juventus & we saw it again today. He can't recognise the signs that there is danger.

Our biggest problem is our obsession with the Champions League. If we weren't in it, we would now be 6 points better off.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

We won a league title under him

Can't see it happening again with him unfortunately. Decent manager and bloke but lacking tactically and motivationally.

 

[argyle]

Injury list - Silva, Kompany, Toure, Bony, Kelechi, Hart, Clichy, Zabaleta, Mangala, Delph. What the fuck?

Exactly, what are our medical and fitness team doing?

Bony never had a significant injury layoff, he comes to us and can barely be off the sicknote!

 

[Laertes]

Well, that was an appalling second-half. Atrocious decisions from the officials but still, a complete lack of of ideas, cutting edge or confidence generally. Still, not as worried by the result as I am by the performance.

You're always going to do worse when your key players are unavailable (Kompany, Silva) or out of form (Kun) but the extent of this drop-off in quality is concerning. The defence looks jittery again, there's no control in midfield, not even a hint of danger up front and the only person who looks reliably capable is De Bruyne and, to an extent, Fernandinho.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

2 offside goals and 2 goalkeeping errors. Still deserved to lose. Pelle out.

Oooooh, was it only four? Thank the fuck for that! I stopped watching after the third went in! Seems to have been an horrendous second half, not helped in the slightest by the blind lino and MdM getting booked by the useless Crapps. How many fouls in the first half went uncarded, and yet a word out of turn and he whips out the card.

Why do we not have any leaders on the pitch in the abscence of Kompany. This is another weakness within the squad. Take Kompany and Hart out and we seem to have mutes on the pitch.

Anyway, I shall be positive. Are you watching BMG - you are in for one almighty beating in the week!!

 

[blue jay 16]

Quite simply a shower of shit performance

 

[Chi-town blues]

Biggest defeat since the take over?
Some one got lots of question to answer. Fucking we look ordinary with injured players out but still we lack learder ship with this team.
Kolarov is not the answer.

 

[allblues09]

Unfortunate on 2 of the goals which turned the game. We were completely on top in the first.

Agree the reaction was poor, but I am most concerned with Aguero. He looks tired and still not fully recovered from the injury. Maybe needs a few games rest. Unfortunately we have nobody fit to give him a few games off.

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

For all you softarses out there, give it a good push

Do you have a pic of a complacent button?

 

[pudge]

Usually the players wait until they win the league before they get too big for their boots, now it's only 5 games.

 

[Marvin]

Sterling was a passenger yet again. I'm sure people will say he's only just about to turn 21 so he's not the finished product, well don't pay 50m for him then.

We didn't. And Barcelona got beat 4-1 a few days ago.

The problem is with players like Aguero and Toure who are way off form. When the other regulars are out, you look to your experienced players do perform and they are not

 

[argyle]

Can't see it happening again with him unfortunately. Decent manager and bloke but lacking tactically and motivationally.

Yep exactly. We never seem fired up for a match.

 

[Groke]

All the navas haters - he offered more than sterling and de bruyne combined when he came on. God we miss Silva. Shite officiating that united wouldn't see in a season, never mind one game. Bad team selection by pelle , too many changes defensively.
