[glacierSpurs]

Help City.

And fuck Spurs up.

 

[Dougal]

Not minding it at all today.
Best real effort on goal
Non penalty for them.
Spirit and application shown.
No real fuck-ups
What's not to like?

We’re losing so that must mean we’ve been rubbish.

If Sanchez could play like this every game we wouldn’t need another CB in the summer.

i’m surprised it’s that high.

honeslty, he’s terrible. he offers nothing. i’ve no idea why he’s starting.

He runs about a bit.
His whole game is chaos theory, if no one knows what he's going to do (including himself) then he might do something good.
But even defensively he looks like a headless chicken, just runs about sees a blue shirt runs a bit towards them, looks the other, way sees another blue shirt runs towards them, training some of these players must be like working with lower primates...

Tanganga has been good but they might try to expose the space being left between him and Sanchez this half.

Not sure how we change this TBH but Moura for someone might be a good start.

 

[Haddock]

It was never a penalty. The city players foot actually contacted Hojbjerg's first

Yeah. Gündogan trips him which causes the whole situation. Don’t understand how the VAR room didn’t pick up on that.

 

[Aphex]

Wow, clearly wasn't a pen, the replays are so clear. Why the fk wasn't VAR used? Absolutely robbed.

Anyone know the brand and model of Mourinho's jacket?

Summit Ice

 

[Indisguise]

After having taken a closer look at it I completely agree with those saying that Gundogan stepped on Hojbjerg.

What the fuck does VAR exist to do?

Depends on which side is paying the most for the decision I suppose.

 

[Mattspurs1982]

Really hope we salvage a draw out of this as the stats of 1 EPL win in 6 don’t look great - esp when the win was WBA. We’ve done them on the break a number of times so semi confident for the 2nd half

 

[DiamondLites]

Game is crying out for Winksy

Genuinely at a loss how, even in the days of technology whether you love it or hate it, VAR has somehow “missed” this clear foul on Hojbjerg.

Thought it was a pen watching the match, but that's just really annoying. How are they getting these decisions wrong all the time? Pure incompetence

 

[stov]

Playing better than I’d thought we would. Main problem so far is we keep holding up our own counter attacks. Someone has to buy a ticket, take a chance, play a through ball. We’re very much in this.

really? this is exactly what I expected. no ambition. City are in 1st gear.

 

[Metalhead]

well, according to some of what i've seen......Lloris, Davies, Dier, Lamela, Moura, Son, PEH, Mourinho, Kane's free kick record, the Ref, the commentator breathing

And counting..........

Don't forget 'Jose out'.

 

[ILS]

We have no player who can speed the game up and beat a defender who has a 1v1 situation under control. Son, for all his brilliance, isn’t that type of player, he needs momentum to cause damage on the wing or against his fullback. These players are at a premium, but we desperately need one because once the attacking momentum stops, the only thing our attacking midfielders do is recycle the ball backwards.

Reasons why Neto should be our number one attacking target.

 

[OPModric]

Interesting stat. Kane has only scored one freekick and that was 2014. A touch on a defender...

 

[leelee]

Refs have to be held accountable. They need to do the media interview too. Maybe then they can explain their mistakes and actually apologise to the people that matter, the people whose lives are invested in the team, the supporters.

Defence doing OK, but goalkeeper has the wrists of a girl
