Match Thread | Spurs vs Man City (21/11/20)

That wasn't handball

Top 4 would be an achievement this season the way we are playing

And that won’t be a given.

 

[SebastianBlue]

we are a busted flush at the moment. No bite going forward and weak defensively due to our set up...

Not enough players up for the fight and living off past glories..

Mahrez
Rodri
Laporte
All very poor with the first two being consistently poor week in and out

B.Silva - used to be a favourite of mine but he is just not doing it at the moment.

Still no proper left back either....

Jesus - again in and out of the game...no consistency from him. Torres looks ok but nothing special

No power drive or commanding presences in this team - think Kompany, Yaya, Zabba, Aguero, D.Silva and Ferna at their peak - there arent players out there to compare to these

Good to see your usual cheery assessment in the match thread.

Brings some normalcy to these crazy times.

 

[Keeper!]

Mahrez is such a black sheep in this team.

As I find myself saying match after match when he’s starting, he’s a super sub when we need a moment of magic and nothing more for us.

He’s detriment to the way we play and I find it baffling that Pep puts up with it when he’s not even producing goals/assists this season like he did last year.

The fact Foden’s on the bench for him just continues to infuriate me.

He's a flat track bully, nothing more

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

Is there no end to Tottenham’s good fortune against us? It’s been going on bloody years. To be fair, we’re not doing a great deal wrong, we have to step up and shove these Mourinho tactics down his throat.

 

[King Jay]

It’s crazy foden just scores 2 for England his confidence is flying & he’s on the bench

Sané Syndrom. Too direct for Pep.

It’s the things Rodri doesn’t do that makes him not good enough. He does good things, he’s a good player, but not good enough.

Far too often he just stands still and allows the opposition midfield to stand in gaps where we can’t pass through the midfield. The pass doesn’t have to be to Rodri, it’s the space he doesn’t create by not moving midfielders around with constant movement that means we can’t pass through to our attacking mids from defence.

Also, when he gets the ball, nothing major ever happens.

Well said, great post, which sums up my view on him entirely too. Good, but not good enough for what we need.

 

[Blu1]

We don’t win when losing at half time

That’s depressed me even more! Lol

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Bar the goal was a very even half we didn't play badly, just no better than them and as per didn't put away the bery few chances we had

We will win this second half

Que?

we’ve dominated the whole game

Mahrez ...not sure how he still manages to get a game, £60m lol
