Spurs (A) | Post-Match Thread

Mendy is so bad I'm really struggling to see how he keeps getting a game. Grealish looked good, great to see De Bruyne back, I'm going to have to take Pep's word that he had no choice with that starting line up, but I'm surprised KDB didn't come on earlier.
 
Extremely frustrated. Set out to fail from the very start. I very rarely blame Pep, but this was almost entirely on him. Mismanaged as badly as the Champions League final. Nobody can explain why Mendy played almost 80 minutes. He created just about every chance Spurs had. We had so many warnings, you’d need to be blind, deaf and stupid not to realise what was coming.

Honestly, we’re fortunate that the game was against Spurs. We’d have been hammered by a better side and still lost to a much lesser side. Torres barely touched the ball. He can’t play on the wing because he can’t go past a defender and barely touches the ball. Turns out he’s no better playing centrally. I was concerned when we signed him. I’ve nothing against him personally. I can’t deny that he tries. He just isn’t suited to the league and that was entirely predictable.
 
Need more aggression. Should Ederson have saved that. Ake, Mendy, Cancelo are mere back up players. Got to go with

Ederson
Walker Dias Stones Zin
Kdb Rodri Grealish
Mahrez Kane (poss) Raheem

I would pay for a quality Left back and sell fringe players if needs be. The only potential weakness above could be Rodri, its this year or bust for him.
 
Bar the first 15-20 minutes we were poor, Shooting ourselves in the foot again with missed opportunities in that period we were in top.
De Bruyne sparked us into life somewhat when he came on, Gundogan was non existent along with Sterling and Mahrez.
The less said about Benjamin Mendy the better, It really is mind blowing he actually makes a living from this game along with lasting 80 minutes of that match, Pep should of had him off at half time, Walker or Zinchenko definitely had 45 minutes in them.
The goal is usual away at Tottenham is so so scruffy, Akè let him get his shot away and Mendy never closed down along with Ruben being too deep.

Seems to be just the norm now going away to this lot expecting a defeat (as a fan) it really is a hoodoo ground.

Anyway, We'll keep going.

What a small club mentality.
It is like they have just won the FA Cup.
Completely OTT

Give over! I fucking hate this attitude from our fans.

Their star player and captain doesn’t want to play for them anymore and wants to play for the team they played in the first game back after 18 months without being allowed to go to football games, who just happen to be the best team in the country and a bit of a big rival of Spurs.

If they didn’t celebrate like that, I’d think there was something wrong with them. Good on them, obviously meant a lot to them.

We have this attitude every time someone beats us, calling other clubs for being happy to beat us and creating a great noise because of it. It’s probably why the Etihad is like a morgue 95% of the time, we’ve got fans who think they’re too cool and too big to make noise.
