Match Threads Spurs vs Man City - Match Thread

[King of Otters]

Before anyone starts, Sissoko wasn't MOTM.

He just gave the ball away marginally less than he usually does.

 

[ackie]

Very impressed with winks

 

[SugarRay]

Heard this too often..

Ok was not enough tbh. He needs to be influential. He's not even winning headers ffs. Is becoming frustrating to watch him now..

He’s a world class striker. They make the difference in these types of games so you are right to demand a bit more to be honest.

Not helped by the utterly erratic support he has round him. Guessing where the ball is going to end up when it’s at the feet of Lamela and Moura is a game of chance at best but when you throw in a marauding Sissoko, who was very good tonight, then you might as well play blindfold!

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Didn't deserve to lose oh well

What? Could have easily been 4 or 5 nil

 

[ardiles]

Sissoko was Sissokay today. ?

 

[Kingstheman]

They created very little other then our errors.

But we make too many.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Positive it was only 1 nil
Negatives LOL Men v boys

Bordering on a club in crisis, farce over the stadium, comical transfer window, diabolical individual and team performance on the pitch, woeful team selection and tactics, and manager whom appears incredibly pissed off.

You just defined ‘spursy’

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Anyone else think Trippier's delivery has been a bit off as well this season? Just doesn't look quite the same to me. I'm pretty sure fatigue is playing a part.

Aurier has done well when played this season so I think he should be given a run.

He puts every ball into the keepers hands

 

[@WHL]

I would be interested to see what chances we have put on a plate for him that he hasn't finished.

The through ball was more or less on a plate

 

[thinktank]

Enough chances to win that, let alone draw.

If you don't take your chances, you can't grumble.

Game was there for us.

He’s looking confident again. That’s huge for a player like him. Demanding the ball, looking to make the decisive pass as opposed to the easiest one.

 

[C0YS]

Well at least the performance was much better than the last three times we played city.

Had them on the ropes in the last 15 odd minutes. Winks was the difference really.

City deserved to win, but then again they are much much better than we are. Well they are better than everyone in this league by some distance. Fully expect them to win it comfortably like they did last time. Though they do look a bit more vulnerable than in the past.

This. He’s so bad that anything more than pathetic is deemed a good performance.

 

[Tucker]

Enough chances to win that, let alone draw.

Game was there for us.

City had just as many chances, if not more.

We played well, but they were just too good for us.

So you're saying there's a chance? ??

 

[U.S. Spurs Fan]

Dembele sadly appears to be done. Contributed nothing today.

Dier appears to have regressed to a mid tier CM. Was invisible today and has been for most of season.

Trips and Davies are average fullbacks.

We desperately needed some new blood in midfield and got none thanks to Levy. With the injuries they have had, this has been a nightmare for Poch.

 

[ljinko888]

The spirit was good. We gave it a good effort but there is an air of panic in our game at the moment whereas they were quite composed in the last third.

The goal came from a defensive mistake. We should have scored from a defensive mistake. Both sides best chances came from errors.

 

[freeeki]

Still, at least our new stadium is the only stadium in London where you can watch champions league football.

If they’ve got BT Sport on in the cheese room.

 

[SpursD22]

I have nothing positive to take from this game, City was very poor and we still lost. City looked shaky at the back and we still couldn’t score
Sissoko had a ok game and yes he did run a lot and offered a lot of energy but how can you be a professional football player, playing in the premier league and be so incredibly bad on the ball?

And Poch can only blame himself today, why is he starting Trippier every game? What does KWP honestly had to do to play?
And Poch again makes changes way too late, we honestly could’ve won this game if he made changes earlier. Give me stick if you want but he’s not good enough to coach Real Madrid, they would sack him after a while. His in game management has proven again to be shit

I honestly had no expectations for today’s game, I thought we would’ve get battered but I’m so frustrated right now, we could’ve won this or at least take a point
When will Poch learn....

 

[nedley]

Did you not think lamela was gonna bury that then? Or Kane’s 2 efforts were gonna go in?

Nope. Players making mistakes left, right and centre means one thing only.

Poor finishing.
