The OFFICIAL Spurs V City Match Thread.

[Balti]

Before the game:

Harry: come on boys lets get out of the traps quickly, lets pile on the pressure, get it out wide to Baley and Lennon and FFS be first to the ball in the middle of the park.

Mancini: Men I want you to just go out there and play football. Nice and steady. Carlos, you just run across the line and make yourself a menace.

Platt; Yeah!!!!

lol ...my thoughts exactly

A real test for Mancini already. Lets see him adapt the tactics to take care of Bale..?

Zab v Lennon. We're fucked.

Silva has been invisible except for about 10 seconds, Kolorov has been OK, Yaya has been so so.

First game in the EPL, i think all will turn out to be good signings.

Quite right, i wonder how many people on here were nervous on their first day at a new job, and a bet they didn't go to work in front of 40,000 people and live around the world.

zaba for kolarov oh dear !

Zab v Lennon. We're fucked.

Exactly what I was thinking.....

Hart is the only decision bobby has got right so far today. Players are looking a little slow

I know its the 1st game and nerves/tension is high but that is a bollocks of a statement.

Enlighten us with how he has got it all wrong and what you would do to make the players less slow!!!

You can see this is the main thing, when this is gone, we will be awesome. :)
Im pretty relaxed old city would have been raped though :)

That was fucking shocking, should be 4-0 down. Sloppy all over the pitch, Kolarov, Micah, Silva, SWP all been very very poor in possession (some of them for obvious reasons) - He HAS to get Ade and Johnson on at half time and id think about putting Kolo at right back. Really dissapointing half.

People on here really need to chill. This is the first time these players have been on a pitch together. For some its their first game in the Premiership ffs no they arent playing like Barcelona but give them a chance

I know Spurs are at home, but they are showing the difference between a side that has gelled and one that hasn't.

Silva was shaky to begin with but looks settled on the ball now.

Yaya looks dominant defensively and average with the ball.

Kolorov has been commendable thus far. hasn't shown his offense yet.

Tevez is a machine. He playing as a MID. and you know what? in this match imo he should. I would put him in the middle of the park and move Silva upfront.

SWP shows good movement but loses the ball too often.

Hart. No comment.

De Jong has been very good.

Richards. tough task. some good, some bad. needs to be better obviously.

Barry has been a steadying presense actually.

Kompany has been pretty good and K. Toure has been very good.
