Spurs (A) | PL | Post-Match Thread

[SebastianBlue]

Lol things are actually much worse than they seem. We’re 2nd and the media still thinks there’s a title race, yet the reality is there’s no race and we have a broken dressing room with players that the manager is refusing to play, for reasons which can only be bad. The season is a write off.

Not sure I agree, but appreciate many feel this way.

 

[Ederson1000YardDrive]

Piss poor performance. We now need to beat Arsenal home and away to have any hope of winning the league.

Keep dreaming mate. Set your expectations low then you won't be quite as pissed when it doesn't happen.

letting Jesus, Zinchenko, Sterling go to rivals, then signing up a sub from Dortmund, Guardiola's brothers agency had this Gomez guy so we can pay some money to Pere brother as agent fee and a fat, injury prone Phillips who cannot even take some pressure off from Rodri, even the 45 year old Dinho could do it last season but not Phillips. if we didnt get Haaland this would have been a worse window than Sinclair, Maicon, Nastasic back after we wont our first PL title.

Arteta wins this title with half as strong squad than ours when last time they qualified for CL at all was like 2016 or 2017?
well then Txiki alongside Pep will have some big questions to answer.

We’re not good enough to win the league this season Could change but we’re seeing the same every game. It’s been a long time since we put together a run of 3 good performances in a row. Win next 5 league matches and it can all change but that’s going to take some big changes in attitude all around

 

[Keeper!]

We are the nice guys. We are Man City.

NICE?

Weird comment

 

[blue44]

Both teams were awful and deserved nowt from the game, but again a error has cost us.

need to start utilising the forwards, not one central midfielder this year (bar Rodri) can be proud of their season

may as well give Phillips a chance as Kev, berny and gundo don't deserve one after the last few weeks

starting to feel like pelligrinis last season when the whole team gave up after christmas apart from fernandinho

 

[creditunionhero]

If we are going to play Lewis in midfield why not play another midfield player and just play three at the back.

 

[UncleBerbs]

There’s a lot wrong with us at the minute. In previous years, we’re normally playing our best football and on a long winning run at this part of the season. We can’t even get a 2-3 game winning run going now. Stinker by Rodri today (who is usually one of our best). We’re not creating any chances which is the most concerning. In previous years, we’d complain about not converting our chances. This is a massive issue that needs sorting immediately. We just need to capitalise on dropped points by Arsenal. The only positive is that Arsenal haven’t extended their lead this weekend (hard to even see that as a positive after this result). We just can’t afford to keep doing this!

I know a lot of questions have been asked about Haaland and whether he’s made us worse. But IMO, Haaland is the difference between us being in the top 4 and being in a race for 10th with Liverpool.

Both sides standards having massively regressed and it’s understandable based on the pst 5 seasons to an extent.

What’s not understandable is the cowardly nature of Pep and this side. Football is about taking risks and this side doesn’t do it at all. It’s safety at-all-costs, pass it backwards, turgid shite and has been for a while bar the odd decent 45 minutes. Combine the lack of risk taking with our defensive mistakes and it’s a recipe for failure.

At the end of the day, the board settled for us winning nothing this season by the January transfer window. I don’t know whether this has given Pep a get out of jail free pass but he needs to up his game too.

The only message he’s sent his players after this is that he’s fucked up in a big game once again.

 

[raybo]

Get Dias and Laporte back in the team please

Hard to believe Akanji is keeping those two out of the team??

 

[OL2Blue]

Where has Kevin's energy gone....he looked knackered at the end and only played half an hour? Same with Bernie....he usually never stops running yet he was walking for much of today while out of possession....Something just isn't right.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

I’m sure Pep will come out with his usual bollocks of we controlled the game they only had one chance bla bla bla. I’ll put my house on it

 

[DMA's]

Maybe the midfield that played today doesn't have the technical ability to play the ball in behind for him when he's constantly making runs.

He was making fabulous runs today, Play him fucking in.

I agree his movement is phenomenal but the way a pep side plays we just won’t play the risky pass to limit turnovers. Haaland is obviously world class I just don’t think we suit his game

 

[SWPISHOME]

Kev can't create everything, we need a David Silva next to him who can create as well.

Or you need to have a set of bollocks to take risks and stop taking the easy way out constantly playing sideways.

 

[Metal Biker]

You don't win titles when you lose when your title rivals do.

 

[Big Dave Watson]

Entirely predictable.

Never mind, another £350 it's earned me.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

End of an era

 

[GaudinoMotors]

The matchday thread and this is akin to a boxers corner throwing the fucking towel in after 10 seconds and one punch!

Get a fucking grip ffs.

No divine right to win every game or every PL. This manager and squad has broken records, left, right and centre and will do so again over the next few years as he rebuilds.

Meanwhile we are 2nd in the fucking PL and still in the FA cup and CL.

Yay mate - got my card off and running, "divine right" ;-)

 

[RayCTID]

Keep dreaming mate. Set your expectations low then you won't be quite as pissed when it doesn't happen.

We did well against them a couple of games ago.

 

[vmsuhail]

Nothing created, need a tactical rethink, time for Grealish and Mahrez to have a rest as well.

When Mahrez is poor, he really is poor. Grealish had a lot of the ball, but he didn't create a proper chance, always hacked down when he runs past a defender.
