Manchester City Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[Hawk_Spur]

Was Sterling offside before the incident with Walker?

 

[Huddlestone22]

Let them completely disregard Sane handling the ball into his path for their first girl but wine about the penalty. I see it as justice, I'd rather neither of those decision's stood which brings the thought of why isn't there video refs in play yet.

Benoit Assou Ekkoto (sp?)?

Nope. Beautiful African Elephant

 

[jonathanhotspur]

That was a bit like one of our CL performances from earlier in the season-in terms of how we were repeatedly cut to ribbons.

 

[SelbYido]

Performance was poor, Lloris had a shocker 2nd half but we still came out with a point, other results went our way... I'll take that.

 

[easley91]

Special mention for Wanyama. Filling in at cb and not waivering. What a beast.

 

[Indisguise]

Bit worried about the missing half of our back four now though...

That wasn't handball.

Fuck off City

 

[crokey]

Give Wanyama a knighthood

 

[mackay78]

We've gone to the Etihad, went 2-0 down, played possibly the worst we have done all season and yet we come away with a point.

Elite mentality.

So what you're saying is... we were "spursy"

I look forward to us redefining the word spursy. Spursy means we keep fighting and running the full 95 minutes, that we nick important goals when the opposition is tiring and sometimes completely dominate a side out of site, like the two games before this one.

We were shocking for most of this match, but the fact we kept going and stole a point is my kind of "spursy."

Was Sterling offside before the incident with Walker?

at first I thought he was, but he's very quick, so... Wanyama was definitely fouled in the build up.

Walker: "I was never going to get there so just had to do anything I could to stop him".

haha

 

[Spurs 1961]

Shows how far we have come under Poch. You can never count us out.

Eriksen, Alli, Kane, Walker, Wimmer, and especially Lloris were very poor. Kane and Alli at least had moments of brilliance.

Poch has got some worries though at CB. If Toby is also out, does he persist with an under performing Wimmer or bring in CCV?

I was very surprised that in a three at the back setup he didn't start with Davies on the left side of the three. Davies has been playing in the team now and again always looking solid

 

[Hotspur33]

In isolation, that's a great point. To play so poorly against a Man City team that were so very impressive going forwards.
I thought Eriksen was terrible today, Dembele didn't really get going. Wanyama easily our best player.
I think Walker got away with the push because it was so brazen. Also, possibly helped that it was against Sterling, who ALWAYS looks to win a penalty when he gets inside the box rather than actually score.
Massive respect for Danny Rose, for what was one of the best tackles ive ever seen.
Hopefully Toby isn't too bad. Hopefully a rest in the F.A cup will be enough.
But if Chelsea win, then it's as good as over.
COYS

I'd disagree, his hand knocked the ball into his path and subsequently gave him the chance to score.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Big Vic was awesome.

He doesn't disappoint

Come off it. The ball was headed at point blank range against his arm. Get these off.

 

[DaleMurphy]

We'll take it!

great resiliance from the boys

 

[holmesy]

credit to there front 6, they were impressive....constantly running into space off the ball, dragging our shape all over the place. Most i have seen walker and rose defending this year...

 

[Monkey boy]

Not 100% sure. I know they changed the rules that even if the ref has seen it, action can still be taken....

But it seems to be either conduct
- after a tackle
- off the ball

Since it's an "on the ball" incident, the ref call should be final. But u know since it's a Manchester club... More action will be taken unlike if happen to a smaller club like west ham.

We'll see I guess.

you sir are talking complete and utter bollox. 3 match retrospective ban
