Tottenham | Post-Match Thread | 4 League Cups In A Row!

We were immense yesterday. I have a mate who's a Spurs fan and tbf he tries to look at games objectively. This morning he said that Spurs were so poor, but also said the reason why they were so poor was not because Spurs were clueless (although he conceded they were) but it was because of the way City imposed their game throughout the whole 90 mins. He thought our movement, our play, our attitude, our togetherness as a team was unbelievable to watch.....and he's absolutely right. We schooled them. One goal scarcely does it justice. Spurs were hammered and the fact Harry Kane didn't even touch the ball in our box speaks volumes about how we wanted to dictate the way the game was played. There is a real desire right now with everyone, players, manager and backroom staff....let's hope that continues into Weds night and the second leg as well. And well played yesterday to everyone, hard to single people out but kudos to Mahrez, Fernandinho, Walker and good to see Sterling get some zip back.
 
Why are so many pundits as thick as pigshit? This Laporte should have been sent off rubbish was nonsense. It took Ryan Mason to point out that if Laporte had been booked for the first tackle, he would not have made the second challenge. Even Barny Roney spotted that one. Professional footballers are usually aware when they have a yellow card, they should not make rash challenges.

So why cannot the commentators or the analysts - including Micah - see this one?
 
Pep made 6 changes from Villa and the quality didn't drop at all. We are probably the only team in the world that can afford to rotate like that.

I expected 7-8 changes from fear about going to extra time and I was already worrying when Laporte scored. Perhaps 7-8 changes are too much to sustain the quality though. In hindsight, maybe Pep should have made only 6 changes vs Chelsea, and not 8. Walker and Mahrez for Mendy and Torres, and we could have played a lot better. Wouldn't blame Pep though, squad players, especially the likes of Torres, deserve to get chances.
 
Best team won we thoroughly deserved it.

A 3-0 win would have been a deserved result in my opinion.

Our first Title win will always have a special place in my Heart.

The rest are all special also for different reasons, breaking records etc.

But this Title win this season will be right up there for me. Why you ask ?.

Reason being we will have done it literally without a decent recognised striker. No disrespect to Jesus, you could not count in in the same class of some of our rivals. We have literally had no Aguero for most the Season. And Sterling form has been the worst of his career.

Irrespective of what the City hating MSM keep regurgitating about our vast wealth, and talent.

We do don't have the star studded strike forces of the Rags, and Liverpool. And striking reserves.

I think it will be a real achievement this season.

But ffs Pep go out and buy 2 Strikers. We need a tier 1,and tier 2 Striker.

Unlike some i would actually take a Danny Ings as a Tier 2 back up Striker.

It is hard to find players who know there career will be spent as a back up Striker.

Also Spurs should be ashamed of them selves for the constant theatrics. Going down all the time, arm waving, remonstrating with the referee need to cut this shit out of the game.Dias won the Ball in a challenge with Kane,And Kane wnt down holding the other Leg. No idea why MSM has a hard on for that sly, dirty,cheating fucker.

Very good post. I'm traditionally a bag nerves watching City and one of my grandsons takes the mick out of me endlessly for my leg and arm movements as I try to help the ball into the net or celebrate a goal we nearly scored but not quite and he finds the celebrations cut short in my throat excellent opportunities for imitation and banter. But yesterday there were remarkably few of these involuntary gestures - I was never nervous and the team never gave me any cause to be. A brilliant team performance and NOT against a poor team. All created and organised by a football genius.

Agreed 100%. It's why I watch the match again once I get home from the stadium. The emotion & stress overrides all logic during the match, & it's too hard to see the wood for the trees. :-)

You are not on your own, even the usually excellent Martin Samuels reported in his article that we scored from a corner.
He also said the goalie saved Phil’s shot that was diverted onto the post by a defender.

Spot-on. I have never watched City on TV so much and I hate it. Neville and Tyler just suck the enjoyment out of things. It is crap compared to being in the stadium, especially watching the total football we produce. You can't appreciate it properly on TV because of the amount of runs happening off the ball.
The football being produced by City at the moment is the best ever produced in this country. It really is "the beautiful game." You need to see the full landscape and taste the atmosphere. It's disgusting that so many media people are given a privileged position to watch the match and they abuse it with their poisonous political comments. If they dislike watching City so much they should find another career.

Being in the ground yesterday made me realise just what snidey 2hats these commentators and pundits really are. They are watching us play as high a level of football that has ever been played in this country and they are not conveying that in their commentary. To be bitching about whether or not Laporte should have been sent off just leaves me dumbstruck. I was on the coach home totally oblivious to this until I started reading the comments on the internet. We were on a totally different level to an opponent that is supposed to be one of our equals and that is what they should have been talking about
