2 poor sides on the ball but they worked much harder than us off of it.

Timewasting is pathetic though, 8 second rule is pointless, they made it back on throw ins and free kicks. Not sure the ball was in play 2nd half.

 

[Don Karleone]

It's an upgrade on last season's result.

 

[Worzel Gummidge#9]

Let’s have it right that was an absolutely terrible performance.

 

[HamannCheese]

Dont think it comes down to just hard work. That was one of the most spineless second halves I've seen. No drive, no bite, no urgency. Things looked hopeful last weekend but maybe I was jumping to conclusions... Or maybe I am now...

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Trying to comeback and we have Doku and Bernardo on the wings. We wouldn't score in a month of Sundays with those two.

We started well and it basically all fell apart once Ait-Nouri went off injured.

 

[SamTheGuru]

Good job it is a bank holiday weekend. See you next Tuesday.

 

[Crooked_rain]

We are simply not a great team anymore. Our era of dominance is over. It happens to them all eventually. Liverpool and United dominated eras but it doesn't last forever. Now it's our turn for it to come to an end.

No killer instinct anymore either. 3 years ago I'd fully expect us to get something from a losing position, just because of the killer mentality we had. We no longer have it. Players are laughing and smiling on the bench or having craic with opposing subs while we're losing.

The city era is over. Frustrating times ahead.

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

We are a shit team and made no improvements to our already bloated and underwhelming squad.

 

[YatesA]

Gotta even worse from last season

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

I don’t want to pick on him as I’m sure he’s feeling like shit already, but how did Trafford beat out Ortega for the starting job when he was signed only three weeks ago? Or was he, for some reason, just handed the job? Either way, he’s looked thoroughly and totally out of his depth in two of three games.


That being said, we have other issues as well, but it’s a long season. On to the next one now.

 

[dickie davies]

We're nowhere near the team we once were, although it doesn't help when our supposed world class striker misses two simple (for a man of his quality) headers and our keeper gifts a goal

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Too much sentiment, let Rico and Stones go.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Frustrating game, but take nothing away from Spurs, they were simply just better than us. Some stud checks are in order, too. Never seen us slip around so much.

A hoo doo club out of the way in the second game is good though. We get our shit together ready for next weekend.

Go on City!

 

[Big Dave Watson]

Pathetic and predictable.

 

[AlthamBlue]

Outplayed by Spurs at home, again. Not going to slag off any individual players, collectively from back to front that was shite.

 

[ProofMCFC]

Some of that was on par with the worst of last year. Still relying on Doke and Bernardo, still struggling to create, midfield getting burnt on the counter and still the same defensive errors.

Exactly the same as last year just with younger players, has anything changed?

 

[Micky Blue]

Tottenham celebrating like they won the league.
They’re a fucking joke.

But we’re terrible.
Worrying how little we created.

 

[jamielowndes]

Could have put that game right in the middle of that streak last winter and it would look right at home.

Rico is still out of position in defence, Trafford looks like the lights are a little too bright right now and Doku couldn't keep the ball in play if he was in a 5-a-side cage. That being said, more than enough players were bad.

 

[madloaf]

Pep out. He's done. No one stays great forever.

 

[blueste41]

Worse than most if not all performances last season, worrying given how many new signings were involved.
