Manchester City Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[JayB]

At least we have survived so far.

Wimmer's presence has unsettled the entire side, I never could have dreamed the drop-off would have been so drastic after last season. He has to be substituted at half time.

 

[Bulletspur]

You expected us to be this shit on recent form?? yeh ok

Yes, we have history. I said it before a ball was kicked, Too many of you had ridiculous predictions and over hyping.

Been watching on my phone so haven't been able to post but I'm not really that bothered by that first half. Man City have played well, we have played into their hands but they have had good chances with nothing to show from it. The fans will start to get frustrated and we will get chances so just need to sit tight and wait for our chance. It will come.

Also i bet people were slagging Macca off like there is no tomorrow, he has been very annoying to listen too.

Wtf has happened to the spurs of the last few weeks? Gifting city this game unless we pull our socks up!!!

 

[The Cimmerian]

Can City keep up the press intensity in the second half?

 

[glacierSpurs]

If the ref was on the take then City would have had a pen, so I take it back.

The ref is just a useless twat.

TBH, I don't think Wanyama was fouling sterling, if you referring to that one.. Sterling wrapped his hand around Wanyama trying to make the most out of it.. The size difference between them will surely make sterling fell over with just a slight lean over..

Need to rework our approach for the second half. City will surely continue the same way and we have to work out a way to nullify them or even take advantage of them pressing with 6 players so far up the pitch.

I don't have a solution, but i'm sure Poch have something worked out.

 

[thefierycamel]

Playing out from the back and turning it over needlessly almost every time. Wimmer and dier need to take a good look at themselves. Fullbacks getting nowhere. Pep has his tactics spot on

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

As bad as I've seen us for a long time, can't keep the ball, City constantly pressing us into mistakes. Ref was awful which didn't help.

 

[dondo]

Static, void if any ideas. Can't get any worse

It can as poor as we have been it's still 0-0

 

[spike472]

Toby is a beast.

 

[KingKay]

The refs poor performance has been overshadowed by ours. Still in it though, bug second half needed!

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Look - Pep made the necessary changes to take our FBs out of the attack - credit to Pep as much as any knock on our players/set up.

Now lets see if Poch can get the squad settled at half, and bring on some potential game changers after the hour mark.

 

[roslau]

Dembele and Lloris were brilliant in the first half. I will bring Sissoko in for Wimmer. He will provide several key passes to Kane, alli and Eriksen to score

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Well we all know we've got more in the locker! It's whether Man City can maintain this uncharacteristic effort and concentration.

 

[Deleted member 27995]

Testement to the way that City have played and the fact that in years gone, Spurs would be one to two goals down. Poch needs to get it sorted.

Wimmer the whipping boy but there are others out there that haven't turned up either.

0-0 at half time, still in it! Keep the faith gents.

COYS!

 

[lillywhites61]

Wimmer looks out of his depth but he isnt the only one having a bad game. Hopefully Poch will get there heads together now and we can scrape this one. You win titles with winning and scraping results like this. It wont always go your way.

 

[kitchen]

Well... We've survived until half time but this is comfortably the worst performance of the season so far. Need to step it up second half. Wimmer off maybe for Davies? He's given the ball away too much already. Lloris's distribution has been shocking but thankfully his shot stopping has been excellent.

Need to get Eriksen on the ball and Dembele needs to relieve pressure like only he can.

It's a must win for City, their season hinges on this game basically, they have worked harder than they have done in weeks, we on the other hand have turned up thinking we can roll them over and buckled under the pressure, possibly because of Liverpool's loss earlier or it might just be because we are being tactically outmatched right now.

Hard to say but we need to improve a lot second half or we will lose.

Kevin Wimmer is taking the piss, surely?
