Match Thread | Tottenham vs Man City (02/02/20)

[Keeper!]

Why the fuck would people be happy because we're dominating and missing a fuck ton of easy chances?

people say we are slow and playing shit, must be watching a different game to me

This will be a walk in the park for Madrid

Amazing they get a close up of raheem on dele but not loris on raheem

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

We have battered Spurs and should be out of sight.

Grrrrrrrrrr...

 

[pudge]

Feels depressingly inevitable that we will lose 1-0 to Spurs’ only shot on target.

Don't worry, they'll hit a slow roller down Eddie's throat in the 95th minute to make it look like it was more even than that.

Var has destroyed football. When you hear the anti-var chants at every premier league game, it’s clear what the fans think. The only people who think it’s working are the League and Match officials.

There needs to be some significant changes made for next season.

Agree, but today it's given us a penalty we've missed

 

[Keeper!]

Nope but hasn't taken many throughout his career. We just don't have any reliable penalty takers in the team.

He is the best striker of a ball at the club and future captain, show some balls and take them

Bring back Franny Lee he would blast the facker in.

Just thinking the same thing. That’s what Deeney does for Watford, just hits it as hard as possible. They might not all go in but the vast majority do.

Watching on bein. Finally been shown a decent angle of the lloris/sterling incident from behind the goal. Looks like contact to the shins/ankle

It is interesting that the best angle of the incident wasn’t shown for the VAR review.

I honestly think they were looking for a way to avoid giving a penalty specifically because Sterling was involved (as they know they are going to get it for the earlier possible red card decision and didn’t want to add on).

We need to have a strong point. The Rags have set pieces as their strong point, Livarpool have counter attacking and set pieces, I am just not sure what we are good at anymore, we were never going to be good at defending (Pep doesn't care about that) but now the things that make us who we are seems to have disappeared also, yes we still keep possession, we have been doing that since the Mancini days but the quick break, the precision and decisive play, the attack on the wings with the full backs bombing forward, digging deep for a last minute goal, its just not happening anymore.

We are now like one of those mid-table La liga teams- keep possession but do nothing with it.
