Spurs (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

We can't bask in the glory of being Treble winners because this country's media won't allow it if you hadn't noticed.
Instead of reading what an amazing achievement that was (like the rags could) we are called cheats etc.
I for one is fucking livid at how we are perceived and you would have to be blind not to notice the agenda against us, on and off the pitch.

Then just ignore it mate. Just watch the highlights on YouTube of the Champions League final, FA Cup final, etc. and tune everything else out. Put Greatest Hits Radio on instead of TalkSport, put Netflix on instead of Sky Sports. Nothing can take the feeling away of that night in June and you shouldn't let the likes of Simon Jordan and his ilk ruin it for you.

can we demand a replay

Only Klopp can

 

[paulchapo]

He's right though, We should have killed the game off in the first 25 minutes whilst we had them on the ropes.

To be honest even if we'd gone in 4-1 up at half time I would still have been nervous.

Very exciting game - scoring 3 at home should mean a win but simple fact is we seem incapable of keeping a clean sheet at the moment. We are missing balance in the midfield - to expect Akanji to thrive in the Stones role is too much to ask, great defender but his positioning on transitions is not good. John being fit will help the defence tighten up - they look too exposed without him.

Big issue for me is the amount of times we get into positions to play a first time ball to Erling and not play it is staggering. Today I counted at least 10 times when he made a great run and no pass was played. Kev can't come back soon enough so if we can keep within touching distance until he returns we are fine. All the talk of course is how many Spurs were missing but for us to be at our best we need a more balanced team and that is one with John and Kev in it.

We all know the form will come but at least today was a good watch as apposed to the Liverpool game which was a bit drab.

Yep I'll judge us when there is 8 games left! We need to buy 1 top quality player on January who can start the games! We have the money spend it..

A midfielder?

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

I have absolutely no fucking words for how that's ended up 3-3. I said before the game to mate that if we don't put our chances away, we won't win. I knew they'd get chances, so we needed to be lethal. So when the best striker in the world puts it wide from 6 yards out, you know its not going to he your day. Put 20 quid on the draw at 8-1 at 2-1 because I could see where it was going. Absolute sick! But the the biggest indictment on this game is not the bad defending, or the shite finishing, but the fact that we're talking about a fucking referee decision after a brilliant 6 goal game(for the neutral not us) rather than the game itself. :(

 

[BlueMojito]

Frustrating for a number of reasons-
We are not clinical enough in front of goal. Haarland must do better. Missed two chances in the first half and in the second half was too static. Our midfield is so open it offers no protection. Rodri needs some support, he has none. Really missing Stones. We've gone from keeping clean sheets to regularly shipping goals. We just seem disjointed and lackluster. Pep needs a rethink if we're going to go on any kind of winning run after Christmas.

Thought the ref was utterly woeful.

 

[stan bowles]

What happened to the City that were always pressing for goals, even when we were ahead? We were second best here make no mistake. To many players just going through the motions. Our midfield were outplayed and outran. To be honest, spurs played our game against us and as much as I detest them they deserved the point. Pep needs to have a plan b for games like this.

We were second best and yet the deserved a point ? Contradiction.

 

[waspish]

A midfielder?

Yeah or a right fast winger

 

[nmc]

Sky glossing over the bent bald bastard incident by saying "everyone makes mistakes!"

It’s hard to explain. Did Hooper change his mind in a split second? Or did he get a shout in his ear?

Think it was the master and commanders decision pep alluded to.

To be fair to Spurs they did play quite well second half.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Not going to get into the poor officiating…

I dont know where we’ll finish this season, it could still be in first place but I do know that we are nowhere near our high standards of football yet. Three very tough games but city would usually secure more than three points from these fixtures…

Onwards blues…nobody deserves to sleepwalk into 4 titles on the bounce

They hung in there, they got their usual luck and refereeing decision against us, but they kept going and had more of a go than them scouse bastards last week. But we still should of been out of site at ht :(

Certainly agree with that last bit!

[WestGorton]

Kev injured ,gundo gone , we move on , still,only 3 from top, take chances today and abit more luck would have won easily

Agreed

 

[levets]

Should have been 3-1 up at h/t and could have been 5 or 6-1.
Spurs 1st goal from our corner was very poor. Foden shit out of a challenge on edge of box and Doku did exactly same as he did previously v West Ham, nothing! Erling had a shocker as did Alvarez, Bernardo and Phil was a bit off too.
Our central defence again was all over the place. Not being able to see a game out has cost us 8 points so far. Late goals are too commonplace now and is alarming. Below are points dropped due to late goals, where previously we’d see the game out.
1 v Wolves
1 v Arsenal
2 v Chelsea
2 v Liverpool
2 v Spurs

 

[phargrave]

Definitely the later…..

 

[malg]

Still fuming. And anyone saying oh Jack would’ve missed anyway can get fucked

What did that refer to? I missed most of the second half as I was working.
