Slow start as usual, but I don't think we're going to be afforded to have one.

If we turn up and play that slow and turgid against Liverpool, Chelsea. We're going to be in a poor situation very early on.

 

[bluemonkey71]

No idea why Zin didn’t start. Mendy, I’m lost for words. Utter shit.
If Kev is half fit he makes the rest of them look poor. Jack played ok. Mahrez fluffed golden chances aswell.

 

[kanovic]

Yes we did but when he's fit we rely on him far too much, players just look to him constantly for answers at times.

No crap! That’s like saying when Messi is fit any team rely on him… every team rely on their best player to change the game. And kdb is our best player/creator sooooo what’s your point again?

 

[smallsteve]

L

can not believe how bad mendy is, can’t move, out of position constantly, can’t defend... awful.... ah well, onto the next

He’ll probably play the next game as well!

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Still missing 3 of our best defenders, plus Kdb, Foden and hopefully Kane, that's 6 or 7 players if you include Rodri in our strongest starting line up.

Rags played shaw, maguire, pogba etc
Why couldn't we play our strongest xi?

 

[Paul1970]

5/1 Spurs with Mendy and Ake, glad I did not waste £200 on the day out and made more than that.

Thanks Pep, could see it a mile off.

Knocking bet mate . 5/1 at half time which was easy money

 

[Vienna_70]

Bloody stadium!

Bring back Shite Hart Lane!

 

[doobyedoobye]

Torres is not a striker and I'm at a loss as to why he would get the nod ahead of Jesus....

If Raheem is in your team you haven't watched City since 2018

Typical regurgitated nonsensical hypercritical rhetoric about Sterling.
Did you copy and paste that from FantasyIreland?

He scored 31 goals in 19-20. THIRTY ONE. More than any English player since Lee One Pen.
Team of the Tournament at Euro 21.

I can see why you might not have Sterling in your starting 11 but this "he's not played well since 2018" is just absolute boring nonsense.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Hi as a spurs fan my assessment was that City were good but I just thought Spurs as a team played out of their skins in the 2nd half.
I'm obviously over the moon as for me City are the best team in the league. You can tell just by the fact they're able to bring on De Bruyne and he just changes the game instantly.

I'm sure you already know this but the weakness today for me wasn't the lack of ST rather that left-hand side with Mendy. We got a lot (too much) joy from there.

I also do wonder if this result/match has any effect on your pursuit of Kane.

Great game and good luck for the rest of the season!

Mate even if we lose our first 5 games we would still finish above you so I very much doubt kane is going to think that your ever going to win fuck all because of 1 game

 

[ayia napa blues]

Yes we played with the worst lb in the league but we lost as we has ZERO goal threat

 

[pappa]

Abysmal tactics from pep again.Sterling is atrocious on the left.Mendy can’t defend.inverted 9 doesn’t work.no pace in the attacking phase.we are crying out for a left back and a striker.whoever there after just get business done.one thing is that Sterling will struggle to keep his place

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

Sad but Fern's legs are gone he has had a full preseason as well

Hardly surprising when Mendy loses the ball every fucking time and he then has to chase back

 

[simon23]

Poor Bernardo....watching us create very little and getting splinters in his arse...

Game was begging for his energy and positivity.....

 

[citymad]

he aint ready to play there.....

of course he is.

 

[urban genie]

A little bit Pedestrian but not something to worry about, once we get our stride on this will be a memory

 

[madloaf]

Torres is not a striker and I'm at a loss as to why he would get the nod ahead of Jesus....

Torres is a striker, and strikers need service. There was a point in the first half, he made the perfect strikers run and cancelo (who is garbage and has been since he joined) saw him and thought "nah". That's either Cancelos or Peps fault but it's not Torres's's's's

 

[SidJames]

Arsenal are going to give us £100,000 000 for Sterling on deadline day based on his Ballon D OR England performances.

Kain in plus, one more.

Please God

 

[Cityfan1977]

That was one of the most weak as piss performances I can remember under Pep. We’ve played worse, defended worse, attacked worse than today… but fuck me that was meek, we played like a bunch of fucking fairies.

They won every single battle on the pitch, they were hungrier, faster, stronger to fucking everything. They wanted it more, to-a-man!

Our starting XI did fucking nowt after the 15th minute. de Bruyne did more in the first five minutes of coming on than the starting XI did in the 80 minutes before then.

Pep’s tactics with Grealish were fucking shit n’all. Had him out wide and left a mile of space in midfield where we left Gundo isolated.

Out wide we were atrocious. Mendy Sterling Cancelo and Mahrez, you were shit lads.

Proper shit that, proper shit.

Its not hard to win the battle if one player is allowed to foul 5 times in the first half without getting a card

 

[kanovic]

Yes we played with the worst lb in the league but we lost as we has ZERO goal threat

mahrez has a good look on goal that went wide.
