Match Thread | Man City vs Spurs (19/01/23)

[balotelli's back pocket]

Controlling the game and once again, we collapse.

No quick fix for that.

 

[deano ou812]

Too many have become complacent and just not at it now ..

 

[Blue and true]

Do you think the referee has had zero influence?

No, he hasn't. If we played anywhere close to our capabilities we'd be winning. We've been insipid since the resumption of the league and fans bringing officials into the conversation are in denial.

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

I miss the days when we would smash spurs for 5

 

[Gumzy97]

yup....been saying it for 2 seasons....run forward, cut inside pass sideways or backwards....rinse and repeat......over and over again...

Difference between us and Arsenal Martinelli and Saka terrified this spurs defence.

The whole team is set up that way with inverted full backs as well. Everything gets cluttered in the middle and we create nothing. Has happened for games on end now. It's obvious to everyone and the other teams have figured out how to stop it. You know how our games are going to go before the games kick off now.

Not a knock on Lewis either, he's been our best so far tonight.

Yeah the lad’s been brilliant-kicked to shit mind.

Ederson has gone backwards with his distribution and a top keeper would still have saved the first goal.

The second was poor but also unlucky how it landed on Emerson’s head, but Ederson body was in the wrong place as it tried to anticipate Kane hitting it across him rather than covering his front post

 

[super_city_si]

We don't play to Erling so we play with 10 men

Honestly, take him off and play false 9 till we get some form

 

[remember arthur mann]

Spurs have been dire
and we’re 2-0!down to them
Fuck me

Says it all if you get beat by the rag's, they are shite. Looks like Pep's been leant on.
No way you turn to shit this quick. Dodgy dealings at work.

 

[SWPISHOME]

We are struggling to get a shot on target lately never mind coning from behind and scoring three.
Let's face it, We are way off our standards infact not even close to what we were. I just hope this doesn't turn into 3 or 4-0.

I'm usually optimistic but we just aren't at the races this season. So for anyone saying doom and gloom bollocks...Fuck Off
