Match Threads Spurs vs Man City - Match Thread - Day 9

[Bobbins]

Excellent performance, always great to beat SoyBoy Pep, and brilliant to be top of the league.

But we should be four points clear! Every success we have makes those stupid dropped points against Newcastle and West Ham even more frustrating.

I was topping up my beer when Harry was running up the field - forgot to stop pouring until I heard the splashing on the vinyl flooring. Delboy moment.

As Opta Joe would say, Efficient.

Don't under estimate that performance, that was first class. Happy days.

Can we end the season now?

STOP THE COUNT

This is the kind of game where we if we create 3 chances we have to score 2 of them. Our forwards need to bring their A game

Get the kermit sipping gif out mate

Good ol' 6-2-2. Back six didn't put a foot wrong without the ball.

That's the best we've defended against City in a very long time. I'd say it was even better than last seasons fixture, which played out remarkably similarly. But we didn't need to take City to 10 men to get the goals, and although we didn't have many shots I think we created a lot of dangerous openings and always looked threatening.

Particular credit needs to go towards Toby, who has hit a very good patch of form the last few games, who was fantastic. I hope his injury was just a bit of tightness, because he would be a big loss. Dier was also very good and dependable next to him.

Aurier, played against a clearly very confident Ferran Torres, and dealt dealt brilliantly with it, a really good defensive, measured and focused display for him. He clearly has good defensive traits but sometimes is over eager and gets himself into trouble. Today he measured it spot on, poor pass aside.

Sissoko, defensively, was brilliant, and helped us get up the field well. I think, today, he showed all of his strengths as a central midfielder and I think he was great. All four players, and Kane, could be man of the match. Fantastic team performance.

I know this is about us-- but seeing City in 10th spot with a minus 1 GD. Luvverly.

I understand what we're doing, I just don't like that we're doing it. They've not exactly had chance after chance after chance, but we desperately need to stem the City possession in our third.

If it works for another 45 minutes, great. But I can't see us holding out personally.

Jose > me.

What was weird was from when gio put the second in we didn't look like conceding let alone losing the three points.

We are different gravy this season.

City are a one man team and that man (De Bruyne) knows it.

 

[PCozzie]

Shocked. Shocked I tells ya.

Redknapp raving about Kane and Son defensive performances. The touch maps really interesting.
