Spurs (A) Post Match Thread

[Ban-jani]

Slightly worse if anything ... over the 2 games, the aggregate is:

Shots:
Spurs 6-48 City

Goals:
Spurs 4-2 City

Meaning of the 48 chances missed over the two games, Spurs missed 2 and we missed 46 !

Incredible stats that you couldn't make up ?

Our players lack bollocks, that’s what it says to me.

When was the last time Emerson made a decent save

Has pep had his post match interview yet?

No

 

[andyhinch]

Hit the woodwork twice missed a penalty and completely out played them, not scoring is a concern but we’re creating chances, all to familiar but I’ll start to worry when we stop creating chances.

Has pep had his post match interview yet?

It will just be the same old "so, so happy with the performance."

 

[mick10]

Down to ten men losing 1-0
Pep let’s take the league’s best striker off and leave jigsaw Sterling and run down a blind ally Mahrez on
Start earning your money you bald prat instead of moaning about the Etihad not being full for a cup game against a championship team

Whoa. I know you’re angry or you’re not a blue, but fuck me.

 

[Fordyboy46]

The fact that we have no one in the entire team (Eddie excepted) that either cannot or will not take a penalty is a disgrace but not as bad as a professional footballer who takes a corner by passing it straight to an opposition player.
Today was not a one off, only last Wednesday we dominated but failed to score and our poor finishing is now becoming a major problem.

A huge concern. Let's face it we deserve to win fuck all if we can't score any penalties we're awarded. Downright shite.

He's not been the same player since he left Boro ;)

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

We need to start Bernardo every match. He and KDB are the only consistent players atm. Zinchenko was great before his red card as well

Aye, but his red card cost us the game. So the rest is null and void. He didn't need to get the 1st yellow and then he could've taken one, for the team

1986. ;-)

Trying to wade through the hundreds of posts.

Ederson - not sure any keeper would have saved either of their goals.

We dominated the first half and were the better team throughout.

Frustrating that we’ve managed to contrive another defeat from such a performance, fuck me the expected goals were less than 1 for them and just under 3 for us.

Bizarre season in that we consistently create 10+ chances a game, sometimes we score 4+ but there have been a few head scratching blanks or only managing 1. To give ourselves a chance in the cup we need to rediscover our ruthlessness.

A positive is that some might start to underestimate us, remember in the next month Laporte and Sane could potentially be back to match fitness and we will be a different proposition.

I understand emotions running high but some people need to give themselves a good nights sleep before they post the shite they have tonight.

Keep the faith blues.

On another day we win 3-0 and everyone is praising the team for a great performance.

We didn't take our chances. That was the only problem

But it is a regular problem. A professional football team that cannot score from a penalty no matter who takes it. Add to that the fact that we need 20 attempts to score 1 is worrying. We did exactly the same on Wednesday against a shit Rag team.

 

[Fast Forward To The Past]

Absolutely. Sometimes it just isn't meant to be. The thing that started to piss me off was at the end. No urgency from ederson to kick it out. What happened to fighting to the end. It's clear the players arent too fussed about the league and also that liverpool may smash all the records and become the 'greatest side in world history'

I've also realised that sitting watching it on a tv is a better experience then going to a match these days with All those var checks and replays etc

Calm down. You don't become the greatest side in world history (world? really?) for winning the premier league and breaking a few records in England.

 

[kevin horlocks wand]

Aye, but his red card cost us the game. So the rest is null and void. He didn't need to get the 1st yellow and then he could've taken one, for the team

no it didn’t passing 500 times before having a shot cost us the game and missing another penalty

 

[Fordyboy46]

It will just be the same old "so, so happy with the performance."

" Opposition two shots on target two goals" will be the crux of it. Do something about it then Guardiola it's the same every fucking game.

 

[mick10]

Team still locked in dressing room!,

 

[Sir peace frog]

I’m not blaming players this season. Form comes and goes.. but it’s the similarity of all the games that we dropped points in which tells me we need to change our approach as it’s not working.

there's nothing wrong with our approach, its the wastefulness in front of goal

 

[citytill1die84]

Zinchenko.

That's all.

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

A mod ought to ban that Cornish twat poster as it’s obvious he isn’t a blue and wumming constantly

Comes out with some fucking awful stuff every now and then. I've seen him wish illness on Martin Tyler and he called Sterling a thin Heskey. I was surprised he didn't gt pulled for that.

 

[garyCTID]

Our away fans must have been delighted watching Kyle larking and laughing around at the end there. He had a good game but do that stuff away from view if you have to.

I thought that too. Not good after a defeat.
