Match Thread | Spurs vs. Man City (26/02/25)

[Dr Jacoby]

Good first half with Doku the standout player but I can’t imagine Spurs will be as bad in the second half. We really should be at least 3 up.

 

[Dax777]

As good as he is, Haaland gives the ball away 5x as much as Nunes.

Nunes once again playing well but our fans have some weird obsession with pouncing on every small error he makes.

I don't get it. Its ab obsession with some of our fans

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

Stunned people are having a go at Nunes. He has been excellent. Yeah a couple of misplaced passes but he’s been involved in everything. Working really well with Sav.

He's been fantastic.
As have all the players.
Hopefully it'll give the ones on the bench a kick up the arse

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Kovacic sticks out like a sore thumb. He's just not City level.

 

[pudge]

Haaland can be rightfully annoyed at Nunes there but he did also miss a fucking sitter himself so there's no guarantee

 

[Chak19]

Oh and thanks Pep for screwing with me by playing Kova as a 6 and Nico as an 8, really good one mate.

 

[Fourinarow]

That felt like we battered them but the stats don't look like it too much. Don't recall ever seeing the same accurate passes in a match by HT either.

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

We’ll rue these missed chances.

Savio and Nunes’ decision making. Fuck me. So poor.

 

[Bluesince1979]

4 league assists and 3 CL assists this season. Christ there are shite takes when people dislike a player

Polish a turd all you wish. Hes utter gash

 

[jollylescott]

We'll be kicking ourselves when Kulusevski and Son come on and combine for two goals in five minutes

Yep we want another one before they come on.

From the BBC Sport page:

Robbie Savage
FA Youth Cup winner with Manchester United

As credentials for the job go, that's a fucking stretch.

2 sitters

 

[deano ou812]

Just continue the same way no changes and hopefully any chances that come we take them this time ..

 

[DTKOAG]

Hope we don’t rue all them chances

 

[eversince 76]

Shudve been out of sight. Thats the sole complain one can have.

 

[footballmanager]

will we regret not scoring more when son and kulusevski get subbed in? only one way to find out

 

[Beanhead]

Sad to say but we look better without Foden and Rico at the moment.

And we sorta look better defensively. It's almost like after that humbling by Liverpool's low energy but very compact and physical defense.. we've adopted parts of it to make up for our non existent pressing.

Sad about Phil aside from being an academy local lad nothing sad about Rico Nunes offers far more and is an infinitely better footballer.

 

[TShed]

Great half in everything but the scoreline. That should be game over beyond even one of our capitulations. How is that 1-0?

Doku and Nunes have been brilliant. Doku should have had a hattrick of assists inside 30 minutes but for poor finishing. Hes laid 2 on a platter. Marmoush needs to up his work rate, doing his best foden impression.

Only tweak I'd make is either swap nico and kovacic or preferably jusy sit Nico next to kovacic, we don't need him in the 8, he's not adding anything to it and if spurs move it fast enough second half there's gaps in our middle. No need to create the risk, just have them both sit and tighten it up. Just need to take chances it's been a very good half.

Wouldn’t let Lewis anywhere near this tonight

 

[Fat Freddy's Cat]

Nunes does not deserve the amount of shit he is getting on here. Give him a fucking break .

 

[madloaf]

Shudve been out of sight. Thats the sole complain one can have.

Remember the last time we counter attacked like that away from home? I feel alive!!
