Spurs (A) - Post-Match Thread

[madden150]

Our problem is as clear as daylight. When we concede 1 or 2 goals now - we lose the match. In previous seasons we would score 4/5and 6 so there was never an issue when we conceded 1/2 goals. We have got to find a way of getting our scoring mojo back and simply outscore our opponents like we were doing. Its not rocket science. Its Peps job to work that out hes getting paid enough to do that.

We definitely need to invest in a goal scorer. Mentioned earlier that imo we should be going all out for Haaland, whatever it takes. In the short term Pep needs to address the attacking mid issues which is offering nothing in the final third. Mahrez and Bernardo were abysmal yesterday and Kev is underperforming. Replacing Silva was never going to be straight forward but it shouldn't be as detrimental to our attacking play as it is.

Read my post properly, please. I said managers KNOW how to beat us but - fortunately - mostly don’t have the resources to do so.

However, that trend is changing. Look at this season and last, not two or three years ago. We were indeed ahead of the game at that stage but time has moved on.

If city sat back and tried to counter attack a team at home It would mean to me we are frightened to death of what the opposition are capable of doing to us. We play attacking football that won't change anytime soon.

I guarantee you we finish above Spurs.

That’s a big call! I don’t see that happening this season. All they’re going to do is play the same way against the top 6 as they did against us. They won’t play that way against anyone else. Maureen’s bus has moved from the swamp down to London

One thing I can’t help but feel...Foden would play more often if we’d £60 million for him.

 

[WestGorton]

Yep, we lost our spine, and we've effectively completely depended on Kev to fill that void.

Not just on the pitch, losing Kompany and Silva (possibly even Arteta and Yaya) hurt the leadership in the dresser.

Yaya frightened the opposition. My old man is 92 and he says Yaya is the greatest. He went before the war. Seen everything.

Think your right fella . Defo would have Lyon that’s for sure but it’s all the other crap what comes with him. I don’t mind him to be honest and I think he is best manager if you need to win a certain game but his way is not pretty .

I would rather not win it than have him as our manager

Football shouldn't eve be being played, never mind a consideration.

This season means fuck all and nothing to the vast majority and it isn't an excuse because we are not sitting top and pretty, its just a fact.

Players and staff are humans too and my guess is most have their minds elsewhere as well.

Are you suggesting our players have their minds on something else more than player from other clubs.

Yaya frightened the opposition. My old man is 92 and he says Yaya is the greatest. He went before the war. Seen everything.

I’d agree. Think Yaya is the best City player have ever had. It’s shame that birthday cake crap had diluted his history with us.

Hate to say this, and having not read all this thread I am seriously beginning to think if Maureen was our manager we would have won the Champions League by now. Strike me down if you want ....

Posts like this will age like a kebab left behind the back of a radiator for 2 months.

Gonna bookmark it for future banter.

How the hell did Leicester put 5 past us. Shoddy against the red scousers.
