Match Thread | Man City vs. Spurs (23/11/24)

[BlueMoonRisin’]

People on here have been arguing for a long time about Rico. “He’s not a full back”…”he’s not a number 8”.

He’s none of them.

He flatters to deceive, plays too much in headless chicken mode.

I just can't think of someone to keep apart from Rodri Foden Haaland and Dias the rest are past it; always injured, or not good enough, thank fuck somebody else will be signing players oh and keep Bobb of course

We have stopped running defensively

I love Pep but his problem is that he is stubborn. When you don't have the right players that suit your playing style, you have to change the way you play.

Stubbornness gives you 6/7 being reactive gives you 3/7 (at best). It is what it is.

I think we played ok with the ball and started well. Haaland had 3 good chance and Foden 3 half-chances.

Problem is, as usual, off the ball. Gundogan and Lewis are neat and tidy on the ball but look like they're running in treacle at times which makes us so easy to play through. 2 goals from their midfielder and not once was he tracked by one of ours. Gvardiol was at fault for both really though.

Not really sure where we go from here. I'd probably drop Bernardo next to Lewis and bring KDB or Grealish on for Gundogan. We need some legs and energy from somewhere.

Despite the scoreline, we have had decent chances and could/should really be level. I think if we make a change or two and keep our attacking play going in the 2nd half (unlike the last couple of games), we still have a chance to get a result from this.

We have started well the last 4 that we lost Not gonna bang the drum an say we will still do it but we have to score within 10 mins of 2 nd half Cmon City

 

[Tolmie scores]

get it to 2-2 with 15/10 mins left and we may get a late winner,,,COME ON CITY

Do you think

 

[Burtonblue]

Not pls badly tbf other than not taking our chances
Gvardiol has cost us two goals today
Let’s hope he pays us back in the second half
This is far from over

Oh come off it! I wouldn’t want to be in the trenches with you.

We’ve won leagues in worst positions. Why are you giving up so easily

In seasons gone by we were playing well when we lost a game or 2.

If you can't see this season we are are getting torn apart, game after game, then i don't know what everyone is watching!!

We don't even look like stringing 10 wins together. We have played well for about 3 or 4 halves of football put together this season.

The late Arsenal and Wolves goals just papered over the massive cracks!!!

 

[Barcon]

Gvardiol created 5 chances that's not counting the 2 he gave Spurs.

the last 2 are the only ones that count.

If you believe that signings are solely on Txiki you should go and do some research.

 

[give it to gordon]

Missing Rodri and KDB is going to affect the rest of the team.

We are mentally and physically knacked after 4 amazing seasons
