Stop Panicking.

It's a rebuild and there will be growing pains.


Trafford was solid and didn't do anything wrong!!

Deserves to be our number #1. For everyone complaining I don't see you doing any better than him and he showed his grit with that double save!

Trafford didn't do anything wrong is the biggest stretch ive ever read.
Are you his dad or relative ??.
It wasn't his fault we lost today i will give you that. CTID

 

[Norbert D]

Of course he’s available everyone’s known he’s available for 6 weeks

Well better get him signed then.

 

[Lee the Blue]

Where to even begin with that shitshow today. Time for a rant.

Our club continues to treat the match going fanbase with absolute distain - making you have to pass an attendance register just to have the honour to keep your ticket, and also now go through an endurance test to even get in the ground. It took 30 mins to even get in today at the chaotic Turnstile C - shout out to fellow survivors of that turnstile btw. I arrived at 11.45am and just made the kick-off - disgraceful.

Then after a battle and a half just to access a game you've paid good money for, City decide to re-enact Billy Smarts circus to mark the first home game of the season to stamp out any enthusiasm and hope they'd learn from some of the nonsense performances of last season. An utterly abject performance with not a single one of them anywhere near 3/10 on the day.

Laughably Bernardo and Doku came on to chase the game - and actually made us worse. Bernardo giving it away for fun and kept being old manned off the ball, Doku either dribbling it out of play or losing it.

You could've taken Cherki and Marmoush off after 35 mins as those 2 were that bad, whilst I can only assume Reijnders was pissed judging by the amount of times he turned the wrong way, passed the wrong way or seemed oblivious to opponents actually near to him. I swear that wasn't the same guy that played at Wolves - it was a bloke they pulled out of Mary D's and gave the No4 shirt to.

The Keeper played like the work experience kid in the office - we can't have that I'm afraid and Ederson or Donnarumma have to be in goal next week and something that resembles professional football between the sticks. Most of the rest of the team just kept slipping over like they were playing in Dunlop Green Flash trainers. Spurs didn't even have to be any good - they just stayed solid & in shape, defended properly what little times they had to and let us gift them 2 goals.

Get a proper GK in - Ederson or Donnarumma. Get a decent right back in ffs as Rico isn't anywhere near good enough. And lose some of the old Men - Gundo, Bernardo and Akanj can be the first. And get Foden into the team pronto - he's our match winner and has to play. He also doesn't start fannying around with the ball on the edge of his own box, or dribble the ball out of play half the time.

As for Cherki - this is premier league footy, not testimonial piss arounds. Someone needs a word to stop him doing daft fancy flicks and tricks
In his own box or final third. Bollocks.

 

[St.Pauli support]

We didn't really help Hugo's cards neither for the Savinho nor the Donnarumma negotiations.

What hurts me more, we were shitting it, full of easy mistakes, had no fight against the defeat and the fans didn't kick em up the arse when exactly that was needed.

Flat and soft.
Hope it was only the usual spurs fukcup. Sad.

 

[SiMCFC]

How the fuck can Pep and the other coaches stand watching Lewis trying to compete with 2 lads at the back post over and over and not try to tweak it, it was glaringly obvious the first 5 times, just let it happen over and over.

It's little things like this that are so obvious and for a supposed perfectionist in Pep, that makes me think he has lost his spark to some degree, all these little things add up. He never used to allow it.

 

[asgoodasitgets]

I see Trafford is being hung out to dry by whoppers like Chris Sutton. All adds to the pressure he'll have at every game now. They know what they're doing

Doesn’t need to be Sutton doing it when our own fans are equally culpable

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

That’s knocked the shine off the 4.0 away, up one minute down the next it’s just a blip. We started quite well but dropped off, so it didn’t work today, Pep will sort it keep the faith.

He’s not sorted it since last year.

Same mistakes over and over. Performances a carbon copy of last year.

 

[skillman]

Pressing us without Ederson is very different to pressing us with him. I noticed Haaland wanting Trafford to hit him with one of those long kicks like ederson used to but no other keeper is going to be able to play like that.

Yeah, a bit of a strange tactic I thought. Presuming they’d been told to try it!

 

[searsleftpeg]

Two gifted goals and suddenly spuds are prime Barca.
Not bluetinted because we were poor ,but let's support the club ,after a decade of glory, and I'm sure it will come good.
One thing , at least, is why doesn't someone give an option to our wingers,when they are doubled up ,instead we just seem to wait and hope for a bit of magic.
Anyway ,in the two Peps I trust.

Didn’t do anything wrong!!?? Eh?

He just commited one of the biggest goalkeeping bloopers you’ll see all season

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Tbf, he's goalkeeping for one of the best football teams in the world.
Whether we, or he, like it or not, that's the territory he parachuted into.
He's gonna have to take the heat.

Would he have to take that heat if he played in red?




The answers - no

I remember my first pint.

 

[Bentheblue]

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!

Spot on with the studs issue. It looked like we were playing on ice whilst Spuds had grass.

Cracking post
I'm far to pissed to articulate what u said.
bang on though !

 

[BurnCK]

Same shit, new personnel

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

We were fucking wank.

We weren't that good! :(

He's young but he has no presence and was at fault for the second goal and was lucky not to be sent off later. He might have been a top championship player but he looks a number two at best for our level. If Ederson is leaving we have to grab Donnarumma before somebody else does.

 

[stan bowles]

Pep probably seeing it how most of us did.

0-2 Tottenham


Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "The performance was better in general. We missed the simple passes a lot but we gave everything. We made it hard for ourselves with the second goal. We know the physicality they had. We lost simple balls.

On things progressing with the new signings: "We have done many good things in this period. We have to shape that period we have to finish the transfer market, we will see how many players we have and then after that we will see."

0-2 Tottenham


Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to TNT Sports: "I had a feeling the performance was a little bit better than the result. Individually our simple things with the ball were missing. They scored the second at the end of the first half. We have to play in a different way to the way we usually play. The result is not good but there is a long, long way [to go] and we will learn from that."

Difficult against Spurs: "It happens a lot with Spurs, they punish us always in that position. I'm not going to say Spurs are better with Thomas [Frank] or better with Ange [Postecoglou]. Spurs have always been a good team and last season they were and this season they are again."

On Ait-Nouri's injury: "I don't know, I didn't speak with the doctors yet."

On having enough players: "We have to have enough players to play every three. four days in this demanding league."

On facing Brighton next: "We have seven days so we will recover, analyse and talk. We will find the right balance."

Why hasn't he spoken to the medical team to know how Ait-Nouri's injury is ? Or even spoken to the player who must be feeling low after his home debut ended so prematurely ? I'd want to know as soon as possible how my only LB is after coming off injured.

That the same pep that hasnt sorted it for 2 seasons? Or the other , new pep?

 

[Axel Freed]

They won’t. They’re going to be a very good side. The coach is class.

He’s decent but you only have to go back two years to when spurs had a flyer under big Ange and loads on here were touting him as Pep’s successor to realise form loop p
