to be honestSpurs played a high defensive line and pressed us high. It was ASKING for us to play the ball over the top or through the channels and, if that wasn’t open, then wide for the wingers to either cut in or get a ball in behind.
Like others, I think Haaland is getting sick and tired of being a flat track bully and flogging himself senseless in other games where we have no tempo and he’s playing his own little game of “I’ll run, you don’t pass…or even try to!”
Color me stupid, but if 70% possession is DESIGNED to stop the other team from having the ball and scoring, why are shipping so many goals???
Pep is stubborn beyond belief and I’m not sure his “team of coaches” has the gravitas to slap him upside his head.
We have a squad to match any in Europe, yet Pep has stultified almost any and all creativity with his possession obsession.
Hands up all those that would trade 70-30 possession for 60-40 and the occasional loss of possession due to TRYING to play some exciting, balls to the wall, attacking…
Wouldn’t worry too much mate as if it carry’s on he will be gone in the summer . Only at city can we have the best striker in the world and fuck it up .Same, then all we here is he's had little influence/touches. Well he's not going to. What a waste of an asset

But he isn’t managing great atm mate . Pep is trying to always be the great pioneer and changer of tactics that he always try’s to conjure a new idea when it’s not needed . We need to get back to basics and start by doing the easy stuff like defending. And scoring goals which shouldn’t be difficult as we have the best striker in Europe.We have the best manager in the world, let him manage. Let's also give credit to the other sides who have worked out how to play against us. We need to be smart enough to adapt to their tactics.

I honestly think certain players have the license to try riskier passes… whereas others are told to keep possession and shape - Grealish is a prime exampleGot to disagree mate. I could have played the through ball that silva didn’t early on. De bruyne tries to find him so pretty sure they’re not under orders. Whatever the reason it’s going to cost us the title. That and being too fucking slow!
The good news for us is that no club, apart from Napoli, in the CL is pulling up trees. Watch us draw them in the QF if we get through.Sorry but our squad is nowhere near a match for other teams in Europe
