Match Thread | Spurs vs Man City (05/02/23)

[El Ingeniero de Noruega]

Rodri out, Gundo in. Game on ......

 

[BoundedCascade]

Pathetic start to the match so far. Need to get about another 300M worth of players in to fix how shit we look

 

[Tb1981]

We’re not losing because of tactics, we’re losing because of a mistake and our most important player being run in to the ground and playing very poorly that half.

I think the tactic off not passing to haaland and creating fuck all night have contributed a bit

 

[phargrave]

Rodri's worst game in a long time.

Lewis being hung out to dry on that side.

Ake our best defender. Move him out to left-back, bring on Laporte.

Kev in for Alvarez and maybe Gundo for Bernie after 70 minutes.

Can't fault the tempo or desire, but Pep's tactical shapes are leaving us fighting with one hand tied behind our backs far too often right now.

No creativity in midfield and boy does it show!!

 

[LongsightM13]

The Lewis inverted tactic has also been well and truly sussed

 

[come-on-barney]

Big 45 minutes coming up. Unlike most on here, I still have faith in the team.

You are the top supporter for sure.

 

[Keeper!]

Pep is more of a scientist than football manager these days.

Meth head more like

 

[Edghill OG]

Rodri has been absolutely shambolic. Terrible.

3 goals we've conceded to these in a game and a half of football and we've given them every single fucking one.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Away fans very quiet they need to get behind the lads even if we have been shite

They’re fucking not quiet!!!

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I genuinely hate our football at the minute,it's fucking pants.....and it shouldn't be.

Been saying it for months. You get called for it but I’m not sure how anyone, and I mean anyone, can enjoy watching this City team. It’s so dull. I just hope it’s mostly down to the dressing room problems and it’s something that a good summer can eradicate/fix.

 

[HelloCity]

The away end is completely flat. Think everybody saw the team and knew exactly what was coming

Only sing when we’re winning.

 

[Nascent Blues]

Just before the shot by Marhez, Grealish had a chance to make a quick pass to his left and keep the momentum of the move going, but he chose to hold onto the ball and the move stopped. I know Marhez picked up the ball moments later and had the effort, but that reluctance to sweep forward, to make the quick pass, is killing off so many attacking possibilities before they've even begun.

 

[pride in battle]

Doesn’t mean he can’t be subbed does it? He’s been fuckin shite so get him off. Simple as

Don't talk shite...

 

[VOOMER]

It's every freeking game against decent opposition.
How the did the powers that be leave is with one full back?

 

[spiny]

Bernardo going through the motions.

 

[wolviedinho]

When is the last time we played an early quality ball into Haaland?

 

[hilts]

There is no Chemistry here

You sound like my wife

 

[Bluetown]

This is exceptional football against a really well organised outfit… we are killing them with our football and they are starting to struggle already… don’t change anything and we win this … love the way they are slotting the little forward passes in the middle,,, cmon city

 

[Roachy]

So fucking pedestrian. Spuds defence walking about with us in attacking positions. This is rubbish.

 

[KingGeorge]

Cant see us finishing top 2 this season. As pep keeps saying players not playing with any passion. Team has lost its chemistr, nothing is fluid and to make things worse we are making critical mistakes.

Because United and Newcastle are such juggernauts behind us…give me a break
