Match Thread | Spurs vs Man City (15/08/21)

That’s how we all judge players isn’t it?

My ex is the same. Throwing knickers at Jack now.

The good the bad and the ugly.
The good.
Grealish looks to me like he will suit our football very well. He rarely gives the ball away.
Ake is a proper defender. I like him.
Fern is still the best despite his pace going.
Torres hasn’t been bad at all. Not much service but very decent movement.
The bad.
Sterling losing the ball. Consistently.
Mendy losing the ball. Consistently.

The ugly.
It’s very evident that we are struggling up front. Who will score for us? We go down the wings but have nothing to aim for.

Think we deserved to be at least a goal up, but we don’t have a national goal scorer.

Nothing changes with Sterling

We need Kane.

Just pay the £150M (or £175M plus Mendy).

And bring him on at half time.

Happy to see Sterling back to his god awful form.

Ffs it’s his first game. Blame Pep.

We'll win this, 2-0 City

Sterling must have a curse on him for him to be constantly slaughtered on here regardless of how well he is playing, compared to his team-mates.

i just want him to completely success a dribble once. never seen a forward so easily dispossessed so constantly

 

[kanovic]

Torres is making all the right runs. If he is uninvolved, blame those who are supposed to get him the ball.

He is doing the work.

He has had some amazing runs but for some reason we are always trying to play through Mendy/sterling side and then we lose the ball

How can't Pep see how shit Mendy is.... I wouldn't put him near the reserves. He's so fucking bad.

He'd get picked last in my Thursday night 6 a side match.

Early on we played well...but we have no threat upfront (no surprise)......Torres might be a great finisher but he aint a centre forward at present.

Mendy - awful as always....the guy just doesnt learn....caught in possession (again) caught out of position (again)- nothing to do with pre season or early games...he has always been like this....he has and always been a liability and still is.

Mahrez should have scored as well

We look like we will get hit on the break...at some point Spurs will get a breakaway right.

grealish playing ok....without affecting too much. Ferna been brilliant along with Dias....Ake besidesone hurried clearance has done ok as well

 

[deano ou812]

I'm not going to pretend he's been great but Mendy has been nowhere near as bad as you're all acting like.

Yeah he just needs to defend and he will have done ok ..
