Match Threads Man City vs Spurs - Match Thread

Well the bright side is we are only one down and we can’t play any worse.

Lucas and GLC PLEASE

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

He's being bullied kinda. He's not match fit by EPL standards, and it's showing.

He’s the only one moving forward

Most other premier teams would have been blow away by City’s first half performance. We are still in the game, only one goal down. That’s not luck, it’s keeping cool and believing in the team. Let’s just see what happens in the second half....

I get what you're saying but we were champions league finalists last year, we are not just any other PL team. We simply haven't competed, tactically we have been shite, and individually they don't look like the know what they are supposed to be doing. It's frustrating because we are so much better than this. Hopefully we can pull our normal trick of turning up in the second half and sneak a point.

 

[SteveH]

Fucking unbelievable the amount of shit written in this thread.

Yes!
But in this case you can see why!

 

[kelloggs]

No energy even coming out of the dressing room onto the pitch. Looked like they were walking to the gallows there. Very odd.

 

[rossdapep]

Yes he could of got there he was holding a line not busting his arse getting to the line to stop the cross.

Ridiculous

Even Andy Gray thinks he couldn't get there

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Why does Poch not want to play with wide players? We are always extremely narrow, not even against City but the same against villa last week.

 

[poc]

Missing Son & Dele quite badly out there in the first half.

Also the tiny fouls by City are crazy. They’ve dominated the ball yet we’ve been fouled 11 times to their 3

The tiny fouls thing is so important to their pressing game or I guess any team that presses. So annoying ?

 

[bubble07]

If we are still just 1 behind late on we can go for it. So we just need to be extremely solid and compact for now

Lloris has always been uncomfortable with the ball at his feet. The contrast with Ederson at the other end is stark.

Time to upgrade for me.

Swap Ederson with Lloris before the start of the game, the score would be
Mancity 2 Spurs 0

cant even save a tame long range shot, that Ederson

 

[Deleted member 29446]

Ohh the same 11. Typical Poch. Tactical clueless, we have been outplayed in the first half. Our team needs a change it cannot be more clear than this!

In the 70 minute though, when we're behind 3-1 we will make our first change.

 

[Monkey boy]

Right now that Charlie Nicholas prediction is looking good value.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Just don't wish to get thumped

 

[JayB]

Hope we'll see Sissoko man-mark KDB. He's contributing fuck all from AMR so we may as well stick him on the danger man.

 

[Erm33]

I'm really fed up of Poch trying to make a system work that doesn't work. He needs to stop playing half of our players out of their best positions. We dont have the midfield players for the diamond.

 

[Primativ]

It’s just too easy for them, see how easy they got in, we’ve only just kicked off.

Our formation and system is all wrong

 

[kelloggs]

Come on lads - don't expect a result just want to see pride in the shirt!

 

[karennina]

We cannot have 3 of the best team players on final year of contract and expect preformances from them.

Yep. There's nothing stopping them performing, but there's no justification for working on the assumption that they will. Still, difficult to know what more we could have done for Eriksen. And we've offered Toby contracts too.

 

[Primativ]

Rose has given the ball away so much

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

All theyve got to do is press a little bit and we turn the ball over.

It's school boy that we can't break a simple press
