Match Threads Man City vs Spurs - Match thread - Carabao Cup Final 2021 - KO 4:30pm

1-0 down in a cup final 10 minutes to go and we don't press the ball once. Piss poor. Only Dier,Toby and Hugo getting any credit whatsoever. Shackles off once Jose's gone? Do me a favour.

You're underestimating how good a team City are when they turn up.

Son can get fucked with his tears. Fucking embarrassing performance.

Weak mentality

Ryan may be a great guy with the club in his heart but boy did he really show that this is a step too far for him. Might make a great manager one day but he needs to learn his trade at a lower level first. He also needs to cut out those Jose subs if he wants to go far in his managerial career.

There's a lot of middle-ground between between "lower level" and a team that is managed by the most successful manager of this generation and is arguably the best team in Europe.

Think some might be a tad harsh on Mason. The Sissoko for Lo Celso shenanigans was a bit of a blunder though admittedly, no sense to that. But there was logic in most of the other calls. The players have just for the most part been a bit drab. Lamela should have got a chance, probably coming on instead of Sissoko, and probably for Son if anyone. But yeah, some really disappointing performances there, the same as it always has been for the last bunch of years, including at our supreme best under Poch. These kinda games were no different.

 

[ilikeost]

I'm numb to losing.

Yeah, I don't really give a shit. I didn't give us much of a chance to begin with. You can't run a club like Levy does and expect results on the pitch, not that he cares about the results on the pitch though.

 

[ernie78]

I honestly think Poch’s “painful rebuild” was getting rid of most of the team, including Kane and using his fee to reinvest in a hungry new squad.
2 cup finals in 3 years and we’ve been shit in both of them. Not just shit but not bothered.
Pathetic today bar Lloris

 

[paulcumpstone]

I don't think we've played badly this second half. We were unlucky to meet this team in the final and not some fucking patsy like arsenal always play in the fa cup final.

We were doing ok 2nd half till the clown made the subs.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Spurs fans are infected with stockholm syndrome. Disgusting.

Umm. You're one of them.

 

[Bobbins]

If you didn’t watch the news this week, you would’ve assumed Mourinho was the one in the dug out.

If the plan was to play like that, we should’ve just kept him in for the final.

The only reason we sacked Jose when we did was to save money on his compensation deal, not because Levy thought it gave us a better chance of winning.

And people think Graham fucking Potter is the answer. Need a complete clear out bar Kane and Son.

 

[rsmith]

different coach, same players.
maybe he had a point

 

[Thenewcat]

Not surprised at all by the performance and the result. The squad isn't nearly good enough. Put any manager in the world in charge of these players and you'll get similar results.

There are improvements needed but this is not a squad being maximised by the manager. We were having our best spell of the match then took off our most creative mid on the pitch h and the only attacker running at them whilst leaving on son (who was beyond awful) and winks. We left our most creative mid on the bench throughout. We brought on sissoko and Dele but not Lamela. Mason has had an absolute mare in the second half

 

[Mornstar]

Another year of "good businessman Levy" though huh? Put that in our trophy cabinet because we have the most useless fucker in charge of our club.

We're you one of those fans that were lauding him after the summer transfer window business?

 

[mdharris]

Just terrible performance - Son did nothing, Harry had no help going forward, Reguilon kept falling over unnecessarily, Winks adds nothing. And I’m afraid Mason didn’t help himself there. Poor substitutes.

 

[hutchiniho]

Where is Ndom?

TBF, TN only plays when he has the ball, we didn’t have it for like 80 minutes of that match

 

[Wearegoingtowintheleague]

That was a truly awful performance, can't believe tanguy didn't get on the pitch. The only player capable of beating the press and playing forward passes. Subs didn't work at all today. Shame but we didn't deserve anything from today's game

 

[daveduvet]

Given our opposition; given that Jose sapped the last bit of blood & guts from our squad; I’d suggest that was not as bad as it could’ve been. The better team won. La Porte should’ve been gone ; Lloris my motm

Fucking criminal - we played like we'd lost before kick-off. Fuck the lot of them

 

[Beni]

Not blaming Mason. Mourinho, Poch, Nagelsmann, who the fuck ever is in charge, the clique, the players that have proven over last 5 or 6 years are not up to standard and are long overdue with their Spurs contracts. Players all of a sudden that were dead on social media now all of a sudden active full of smiles, sorry, get the fuck out of my club

@Verloc instead of disagreeing, explain why

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

Remember this game when thinking that son and Kane deserve trophies. Both been useless in 2 finals .
Son especially was terrible, couldn't control a ball let alone make a pass

Son was awful, worst on pitch, but our problem today we had no midfield, couldn’t stamp any authority on match, one way traffic bar maybe 15 mins, even then we hardly looked like scoring
