Spurs (H) - Post-Match Thread

[Ric]

Really poor performance, particularly defensively. Too many players didn’t show up. Hopefully it’s just a bad day at the office, and we get back to winning ways next week. Title race wide open now though.

Do you think off the field problems are unsettling foden because we all know he is mates with greenwood and even grealish . Needs his head shaking

He is too arrogant.he’s not done anything to be arrogant.I hope I’m wrong but like you said his off field antics will kill his career.

Fuck off, Cancelo

And fuck off whoever felt the need to censor that.

He was wank, I'm airing my view on his disastrous performance of which there's no denial.

No idea why he didn't change his Boots tbh,i saw him loosing his footing a few times.Even when not under pressure.

We lost we move on some of you have become wankers as fans, we are very lucky to be where we are today ffs some of the comments are disgraceful

Get a grip and calm down. You’re not making any sense

It makes perfect sense.

Literally every big game we have ever lost, the same questions get asked.

Why was Delap not brought on today at the 75th minute?]

It clearly wasn't working so why not make the fucking change...

But that's not true anyway - we could draw against them and still win the league, even if they win the rest of their games - they can't do the same.

Yeah you’re right, but when they say it’s in your hands it means that you’re not relying on another team taking points off the team you’re competing with. Liverpool no longer are. If they win every remaining game they will win the league… but so will we

We have no idea how to break down a back 5. Cancelo was bloody awful defending

Cancelo is shit at defending and always has been but we accept that because is forward play is immense . Walker was awful today and at fault for the third goal as he lost possession in midfield .

 

[super_city_si]

We can beat them if we get our mojo back , at Anfield we bossed them

Bernardo in midfield and we’ll boss them Again

 

[raybo]

We won’t beat Liverpool.no chance.

We had an off day at the back but dippers defence are very shakey imo. Plus, they won't play 5 or 6 at the back against us.

I have come on here as a (for my sins) Birmingham City supporter but, I absolutely love Man City and I love to watch them and I really want them to win the title again.
However, I felt that I must have a little say about todays match against Spurs. Your boys effectively played them off the park today but so much possession got them nowhere. I do feel that they try to be that bit too fancy with one (or more) pass too many far too often. It's very frustrating to see them dominating the game but just not making inroads to getting the goals they need.
Today was a typical example of too much tippy tappy between players out the wings.

Spurs got their goals with nowhere near as many passes and proved the effectiveness of more direct play.

I hope that they get their act together on the run in to the end of the season. Having the boys in red right up their backsides might just be the 'spur' that they need to get the job done.

Just my two cents worth.

You can only play like that if you are a side built to play on the counter attack. City play against parked buses most weeks and so were built to open up sides in that way. Sadly it means clubs like Spurs and sadly United have recently given us a bloody nose as they have the players the room to exploit the space behind. Just the way it is sadly.
