Spurs (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[Blue and still suffering]

Additionally mate:

For the first time since December 2007, Manchester City have failed to have a shot on target in three consecutive second halves in the Premier League.

That's worrying as well.

 

[Sibierskii]

Is it? In what way? Do you know him personally?

Did you not watch? Do you recall seeing him sprint? Can fuck right off with the lovey dovey shite with the opposition defenders aswell. Viking my arse.

 

[chaddblue]

Before kick off we’d probably all have taken a draw at a ground we have historically struggled at

We’ve won 3 out of the last 4 matches there

They had 11 players out

We should have smashed them

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

I thought that RAN did play him on but they should have confirmed it…

It was one of those body lean ones. Tight but probably on I think. The kick was definitely tho and should not have been a goal

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

We’re just not as good as we used to be. That period wasn’t normal. In normal football life this sort of things happen all the time. We’re not good enough to win the league. I think most of you here need to realise that and save the blood pressure. No point having a fit every time we’re average. We were utter wank second half. But we’re not invincible anymore. It was always going to happen. It’s life.

 

[Bluemanc100]

Arsenal will beat us easy in the final regardless unless we get our act together big time

They need to finish the job v Chelsea yet… Not a done deal by any means

 

[johnny crossan]

Glad you did not include AN with the back four

Very poor today, lead in his boots - beginning to think I've misjudged his potential

 

[Ban-jani]

As shite as we was today. If we somehow win next week then 4 points from spurs and Liverpool away is a good return

Whatever gear you’re on, send it my way pal.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Nunes isn’t playing out of position at RB. He’s played there 100 times now, that’s what he is.

If you don’t think he’s good enough, say that.

I do!

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Thought the 2 goals we conceded were very unlucky but Spurs were poor today and we were fucking sloppy. We have to perform for more than half an hour in football matches or this will keep happening. Pep is too slow to address the second half drop off when Bernardo and Rodri tire and we cede control. Doku was a big miss today I felt. Semenyo apart from his goal had a stinker.

 

[SaintColin]

Not sure how we can justify calling Semenyos performance, he did score and he is new to the team

It’s just obvious he doesn’t fit Pep, but that performance was fucking horrendous and a free shot at goal to score doesn’t mask any of it.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

No consolation whatsoever. Nobody gives 2 fucks about the women.

I do. Very much. They're actually better to watch at present than the men.
But if your point is that this isn't the thread to be mentioning, still less celebrating, that, then you're absolutely right.

 

[chaddblue]

As shite as we was today. If we somehow win next week then 4 points from spurs and Liverpool away is a good return

We’ll get battered

 

[Blue Since 76]

So why is Pep allowing it to happen ? Pep of old would be smashing the dressing room up and giving the players the hairdryer, Pep is in the final stages of his days at Manchester City and the players have given up

I think it's coming this week ? Pep is to leave in the summer

I'm convinced he's gone this summer and the players know it. Performances are like those we got 10 years ago with a team treating the manager like a supply teacher.

 

[ancoats]

Totally mate, we’ve lived the dream with pep, I never in my lifetime thought I’d see football like we’ve been so lucky to have witnessed, but we’ve become stale this last two yrs it’s painfully obvious yet pep does nothing to change things, I think this will be his last season & being honest I think it’s time for a change

I truly believe there will be life after Pep ? Manchester City are bigger than any manager
Will the new manager succeed? That will be down to us and the players,

I would love to see Mancini given another go with this squad of players

 

[super_city_si]

How did you cope in the 1980s and 1990s?

Weak.

We were shit and we knew it back then. No expectations. And i still remember some livid fan reactions.

This is a completely different club now. Today was not acceptible.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Pep thinks we played so so well…

Naughty ;)!!!!!

 

[Vester]

Nail on head! Can’t say the club have t invested in the last 12 months so surely it falls on the manager? Maybe even the new players can’t handle Pep and his possibly over the top management style?

The players we have "invested" in the last 2-3 years have not proven anything at the highest level. Spending loads means nothing if you spend it poorly and we dont need to pretend that we have signed a single world class player despite spending 500m (or so).
United have spent loads too, and I can see some similarities between their signings in the last decade and our recent ones. Looks very good on their day, folds immediately and looks useless as soon as something goes against them.
Nothing like the elite, consistent, mentally strong serial winners we used to have loads of previous years.

Yeah but it was more likely the other way round.

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

Well that has started off my Monday morning in NZ shite. Feels like a loss, compounded by a rags Fergie time winner. No chance on earth we beat the scousers at their place - we couldn't do that when we were treble winners let alone top 5 contenders. No shot on target in the 2nd half? Disgrace against their makeshift defence.
