The Spurs crowd were quiet

You must have been watching a different game to me.

I said when it happened Zinny would be a huge loss for us. We haven’t been as fluid since. Totally underrated what he brings to the side. In Pep I trust!

I don't think many City fans were expecting to win once we saw the lineup.

And the performance reflected the team that was picked.

However, I don't judge Pep for it now. I will judge him after the second leg.

Clearly he was happy to remain in the tie and felt a slim loss was still acceptable. Spurs had a longer rest before this game, had Kane injured during it and we have had several players injured and only just returing and others worked into the ground so his team seemed to be based very much on preserving people. Best illustrated by introducing De Bruyne and Sane so late on.

You would imagine there is hope Zinchenko is available next week. Or Mendy is able to play some part. Stones can get some more more minutes and be in contention. Aguero will have another 60 minute run out this weekend, Sane and Bernardo will both no doubt be back in. If we beat Palace and win the 2nd leg and go through, the choices he made for this game will be justified.

We can't lose at Palace but we could afford a loss last night. So in many ways it was the right way to approach the game. We still should have come away with at least a draw.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Mendy
Ferny
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Sterling
Sane
Aguero

That is a team that can go and win the 2nd leg by enough to see us through. Especially with our atmosphere, which will be electric, and will not be something the media or Spurs will expect or give credit for.

I think Pep will be just about happy with last night and whilst I don't think he put out the right team he did do the right thing in terms of managing what is coming.

We could afford to play a weaker side and lose last night but we definitely cannot afford to lose any of the next 4.

We have done just enough in the last 2 games and I think that is because he is telling them to conserve energy and to do just about what needs to be done before this run of games coming up.

It is all about the bigger picture, that is why we are still in four competitions.

Only three could even be arsed going over to clap the away support last night.

I was on on about a 20 minute spell in the 2nd half just before your goal and your lot were fucking quiet. You edited my post to make it seem like I said all of the game.

When cocky Spuds fans taste their own tears next week, we’ll see this for what it is.

A master plan.

Not sure what I said that offended you. The fella said the Spurs crowd were quiet. I disagreed.
