Spurs Vs City Post Match Discussion thread

I said at half time those misses would come back to haunt us,and when jimmy did not appear after the break I knew we would be in trouble,but fucking why oh why did bobby not react to the spurs subs ? Oh and what was that that Kidd said the other day about a champion not giving up on his stool but going out all guns blazing ! Now I won't turn tv or radio on for a fucking week or two because of the wank feast the media will have starting Monday night,Fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I felt the same at half time. But we did not have many alternatives - accept risk Aguero at half time

“We did two mistakes in two minutes, it’s incredible that we lost this game because we had everything under control and we had many chances to score,” Mancini said...

“I can’t believe that we lost this game because we played very, very well for 80 minutes, this is our problem this year, when we have chances we don’t score,” the Italian declared.

Everything under control? We were watching different games then.

I don't think Spurs were ever a threat for 70 minutes , and we DID appear quite comfortable ...... Defoe came on around the 70 minute mark and it was around five minutes later when the first Spurs goal went in , because we didn't defend it properly.

After that only Tevez appeared to be taking up the fight to an acceptable level.

True Spuds weren't a threat and TBF I felt that it might go their way since they were trying but the game was going on with false tempo so yes it happen sometimes !

The most disappointing thing about todays loss was the fact we were comfortable until AVB made the double substitution. It then came apparent we were being over run in midfield when they went 4-3-3 yet our management failed to react to this.

I understand Sergio isn't 100% but at that moment we needed to take Dzeko off and place either Zabaleta or Garcia in the mid and of put Lescott or Kolo at in the back four. Instead we just allowed spurs to score 3 goals against the best defence in the league in 6 and a bit minutes.

We need to bounce back, secure a top 2 place and win the FA cup and without doubt make a proper assessment to the playing personal in the summer, and if the owners seem fit to replace Mancini. Either way I see a summer of many changes and uncertainty over the coming months.

End of the day .... Spurs are celebrating that they might have a chance of 4th whilst we were still competing for the title and securing 2nd thinking of a Cup Final. i know which club i'd rather be supporting.

Couldn't believe how much Tyler screamed at each of their goals.

Neville's black suit is now white...

Ain't that the truth. Time to turn off the tele, the computer and get down to some gardening or some other boring activity for the next 72 hours.

Tevez, Nastasic... and some other City players were good
Couldn't find Dzeko during the game at all... what the hell did he do?
Did Dzeko actually play?

A quite unbelievable and alarming collapse from City there .......

the rags , after defending well , conceded a late equaliser on the same ground , but that's all it tuned out to be .. an equaliser !

For all those of you saying why didn't Mancini bring on Aguero, putting Joleon up there should tell you something

Actually all the players bar Dzeko were great in the first half, second half we gradually faded and ultimately all that effort was completely wasted.

We played some good stuff in the first half but the second we fell apart!!!! We need to put games away when we are dominating and I thought Carlos was by far our best player!!! We are so unlucky at times I mean Silva was fit and ready for the game but rolling on his ankle in a light training session just did us and Milner going off as well!!!! But what I did not get one bit was "Why didn't Mancini replace Milner with Javi and push Yaya forward"? I mean it is so obvious to all us fans what needed to be changed but Roberto had to put on Kolarov, which was the worst move he could of made in that situation as he was awful against Wigan!!!
