Spurs (H) - Post-Match Thread

[Trickyblues]

Is it that time of the season where zinchenko comes into the team and absolutely smashes it?

Slagging players pep etc is fucking disgraceful pal same fans were probably wanking them selfs silly Tuesday night

It's frustration but yes some do go a bit over the top. If players had done their jobs we would have been alright. So n and Kane are quality, especially if given the space we gave them.

 

[blue is best]

Yes we didn’t play that well today and got beat, however the dippers won’t win every game either so we are still in pole position, hopefully that’s the kick up the arse we needed, beat them at our place and it’s as you were.

 

[west didsblue]

Why always Spurs??

 

[chickaroon]

All the pundits keep saying we have more strength in depth. Liverpool now have a quality squad after the purchase of Diaz and the return from injury of their players. Look at our bench today.

I think it must be you that's simple. Fuck you

How am I the one being simple? I've explained how you were wrong and instead of admitting it you decide to swear at me, you wouldn't be saying shit to me face to face especially if you knew what I was going through at the moment. Grow up.

 

[lazerblue]

Yes.. and Liverpools

But I’d still rather be in our position than theirs

so what she should have said is the titles in the ballance because it's not in dipper hands

Will also add this type of game exactly highlights to me why we will not win the champions league under pep. There is a clear way of exploiting city, 5 at the back with quick counter attacking. Most teams don’t have the quality to fully implement this tactic as they don’t posses the quality of players to pass through our press but as we begin to play better sides they will punish us for our gung ho approach.

Last season was our chance we got the luck required to have a deep run and we froze,

That was a hard watch. Spurs proving themselves once again to be our bogey team. Lots of individual poor performances tonight. Teams who pack their defence and then are quick to press for the ball do well against City - 5 at the back made it easy for them to slow/stop City's attacking threat, such as it was. We seem to be happy to play an unattractive brand of ponderous, frankly boring lateral/reverse pass-based football, with the aim of trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to cut back or cross from the byline. When Foden, Bernie and the other false 9s aren't on song and we don't have a natural striker to aim at, this is clearly a poor tactic. It's also frankly dull to watch - we seem to be boring sides into submission when we win, but when the opposition get it right, we look like we are going to lose. Spurs' flowing, open-spaced attacks showed up City's long standing issues defensively. Spurs played well, City didn't.

All that said, this is football - shit happens, you lose games and other teams will drop points too. I'd still rather be in our position than Liverpool's.

Why are pep or the players not allowed to be criticised when performance isn't good?

Theres a weird element to our fan base that buries the head in the sand.

Pep nor the team are perfect, they nearly are. But it's fair criticism.
