Spurs vs City post match

[come-on-barney]

Liverpool will push them close.

Think the dippers are a lot better than spurs

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Well, title race on :(

We'll have to find a way to play against this kind of pressing or we'll win fuck all. Both Celtic and Spurs proved that if you can keep pressing us long enough we'll have problems. Missing chances in games like this one where we are second best for most of the time is not helping our case too.

Another concern is that we're easily losing these 6-pointers again. Hope it won't get as bad as last season as you can't win Premier League title if you are not getting points against top 6 teams.

Spurs are great team btw, showed today why they conceded only 3 games so far this season. It's going to be fucking hard to qualify for CL, let alone to win titles in next few years, some very good teams in the league.

Iheanacho.. for all his amazing talent to come into good position is pretty shit with the ball. Bit like Dzeko, either he does something with it in first second or two, or it's lost.

Not sure what game you were watching but nacho is superb playing on the shoulder of defenders and always making intelligent runs , Loris made a brilliant save to stop him scoring , and now you think it will be difficult for us to qualify for the champs league , name 4 teams who have impressed you so much this season that they will finish above us this season

Has Yaya's agent apologised yet :-)

 

[willipp]

I hate losing before an international break, feels like forever till we play again. Really disappointing performance, hopefully that teaches pep a few things about certain players.

 

[Yates]

Disappointed but can't expect to win with that side although there should have at least been more fight. Really highlighted the neglect of the fullback positions.

 

[City Glory While Others Fade]

Pep reallity check today........full backs just not good enough....Fernando not good enough....Silva and Aguero absent for the second game in a row and offered very little going forward. We can play much better but we need the youngsters in as backup to Clichy and Sagna.

 

[Marvin]

Hang on. Let's see how we perform against those teams at home first. This is Pep, not Pellegrini and there will be a response to this.

It's not been a bad start has it

We'll re-group now and come back stronger. We were unbeaten going into this game, but a lot of blues expected us to slip today

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Any decent Premier League manager just copy and paste for the last 2-3 seasons, press our Midfield and Defence and they will oblige by presenting you with several easy chances.

Obviously we are still a work in progress so all facets of Pellegrini haven't magically evaporated yet

Serious question (not WUMming); can we rely on Vinnie's long term fitness any more?

I don't think Kompany will play more than half a dozen more games for this club.

 

[come-on-barney]

Thats the same for 2 games in a row ....tell me when do you start to worry ???

[Le Havre Oswald]

An own goal and some sloppy defending. Hardly the end of things.

Jesus has someone hacked your account mate

 

[Princesuko]

3 clear ones for Aguero a 3 yard tap in for Silva at the start & a fairly easy one for Kelechi.

Thought Kelechi's effort was a good save from lloris.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Agree.
But why we was so easily bullied in the middle even with heavies like Fernando?

One of the funniest things I've read on here, Fernando heavy? Not laughing at you, because I do know what you're implying. He's meant to be our hard man, but he just isn't. If you spoke to him he'd start crying. He's a drip, goon, gimp, fraud.

Ok. But, I couldn't see anything in our play today that was better than what Pellegrini did last year against Tottenham.

 

[FanchesterCity]

Beaten by our own methods...

chase every ball down, and be first to any 50/50 ball. They showed much more commitment to the cause than we did - we looked lethargic.

They gave us a proper test, as will Arsenal and Liverpool (at the very least). Fair play to them I'd say.

Well, we scored at WHL last year...

Not sure what post have you been reading mate :)

Yes, he is very, very good in getting into position but with ball at his feet I think he's shit. You might not agree with it but that's my view of him and it's not from today. He'll score some goals, just like Dzeko did, but he will never be top class striker with that kind of lack of technique.

 

[Vic]

Did we have more shots on target than spurs?

 

[kupest]

Kane, Dembelle and Dier. All first team starters.

Dier did make the bench, but Wanyama and Alli were mint and wouldn't even be sure who they would drop for both of them when Dembele comes back.

 

[Marvin]

I thought Sagna and Clichy were nailed on to start today. We probably wont do it, but 3 at the back looks tempting because the full backs are weak.
