Match Threads Man City vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 23

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Carragher right, every time a team has a shot against us it seems to end up in back of net.

 

[SlotBadger]

Lamela runs half the length of the pitch with the ball on a break. Stops, turns around, passes it backwards, points at something or someone... this is painful

He had absolutely nobody to pass to. It’s happened multiple times today with various players in possession - not a single player making a run to provide an option.

 

[-Afri-Coy-]

What are your expectations of “not that bad”? We had what 25% possession and 1 shot on goal?

And city were only ahead because of a botched penalty decision. We defended well, which is what every team bar Liverpool has done against City this season. Stats don’t tell a whole story and you know that.

 

[CrazyHeart]

Probably just needs to not look shit everytime he goes on the pitch which he seems incapable of these days.

Perhaps - but at the same time - we're not going to see the best outta him unless he plays!

 

[benpudney]

Sorry enough is enough Jose. You have Ali and bale on the bench but keep going with lamela I can’t pass the ball! Give them game time. Not 10 mins or 20 mins but start them game after game let them build up fitness and form. This is just crap

 

[kieranfitchett]

City aren’t breaking a sweat

 

[cjbyid]

Having to watch this team under Mourinho when Kane leaves

I'd be surprised to see Jose is here next season Kane or not!

Christ, this comment gets trotted out weekly. There are right-footed players more guilty of this but it’s never mentioned.

Sissoko might have a better left foot than Lamelas right

 

[yankspurs]

We need a complete rebuild

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Be safer putting a few of our players out to pasture. Davies, Lloris - look like they are in their mid 40s playing in a charity game.

 

[The Apprentice]

Is it 5 defeats out of 6 or 6 out of 7?

Quite an achievement to churn out this garbage over such a sustained period from Jose.

 

[Romulus]

Yawn.........

 

[nferno]

City are barely in second gear while we're still sat in the garage with a tube running from the exhaust into the window.

what have we got on the radio?

 

[slartibartfast]

How many minutes has he had this season in the PL?

Have you watched him? He's so far off the pace its untrue. He's done.

Zero pace and zero right foot will do that to you.

 

[thebenjamin]

2-0 down, 11 behind the ball like a league 2 side just happy to be there

 

[handsomecake]

our team needs massive surgery. Its a shell. Theres nothing there.

 

[Dannyspur]

The lack of competent fullbacks providing attacking support is just completely fucking stark!

Tanganga got forward a few times first half but the ball never went anywhere near him

 

[glacierSpurs]

Lamela runs half the length of the pitch with the ball on a break. Stops, turns around, passes it backwards, points at something or someone... this is painful

Because he suddenly realises he needs to pass with his right going forward. Passing back will be his left. He chose the latter.

Allincoming on for Tanguy
