Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Tottenham (23/08/25)

[Sky Blue]

Midfield disjointed. Need Rodri and Bernardo on. Trafford disaster waiting to happen and it did.

 

[heslops barnet]

We will do better, need to relax a bit. only the second game of the season lets not panic too much.

It’s spuds for fuks sake!

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Well that was patchy at best.
I thought we looked reasonable going forward - but we've had 5 shots with 2 on target, so hhhmm.
We lack any sense of control again though, I'd give Rodders 45 mins if he's actually fit (not convinced he actually is despite being on the bench)

Get the wet wipes out, some fannies need wiping.

...and a few posts ;later....there it is....classic

 

[Streetsweeper]

Spurs have been very good - physical, well drilled and organised. We haven’t.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Midfield of Nico, Reijnders and Cherki was far too adventurous.

 

[wolviedinho]

Fucking settle, you weren’t saying that last week no doubt.

Get a grip of yourself. It’s a new team that they and Pep will learn more from rather an easy win.

Lacking balance in midfield and we lack pace at the back without Nunes or Khusanov.

Work for Pep here.

I probably was or was not. Don’t matter I am talking about what we have just witnessed. So much attack with missed chances and calamity defending which has been going on for years now.

We can look great and look shit. Not a serious winning team.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Has semi automated offside gone already?

 

[Leroy Leroy Leroy]

Bobb and Erling have been good

 

[CumbriaCity]

Can't be worse in second half! Can they?
:(

 

[citymad]

That was utter garbage! Hope we get this goalkeeping situation sorted out because we can’t go on with Trafford. He’s a total wreck back there.

 

[Damanino]

this was carbon copy of last season bad performances, despite quite a few new players. huge rocket up in their arse in HT hopefully.

Arsenal won at rags, I assume dippers will beat Barcodes away from home, we cannot beat a shit Spurs side that is just getting used to Frank's system?
doesnt bode well at all.

w look so uncomfortable

Fanny wipe alert!!!!!!

 

[Luke The Blue]

Get the wet wipes out, some fannies need wiping.

Fuck off trying to get brownie points and a brown tongue. Team been shit and we're entitled to call it.

 

[CongletonBlue]

We’d all be great managers at Hindsight FC.

Gifted both goals and we’ve not taken chances created to be ahead. Big start needed in 2nd half, get one and we will get two and then see how Frank reacts.

Sure thing,obviously that half was above criticism

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Yes the scoreline is shite. But I don’t think we’ve played anywhere nearly as badly as some on here seem to think. We’ve zipped it around in parts and just missed our chances and given away stupid mistakes to gift them the goals.

The foundations are there. Might take a few games but we’ll be reet.

 

[Millennium]

Tottenham did not do anything for first 35m. Then two mistakes. At the same time we had at least three clear chanced but wasted.​

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

People are moaning, but we have had 4-5 big chances, we have pressed really well, and bith Spurs goals come from two HUGE defensive mistakes.

From 0-30 min, Spurs barely had the ball, and it was the first goal which took us away from the game. For me, it's mostly positive.

I thought we were brilliant opening 25 minutes.

This team always falls apart for a period once we concede so it going tits up after the goal is no surprise.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Needs to bring Khusanov on at half time alongside whatever else he changes we need to go for it if we're getting anything out of this game or they'll pick us off on the break. Our back 4 is slow as shit.
