Our total inability to do anything in the middle third or get Kane or Son anywhere near the opponents goal was entirely due to his absences. But week in week out the cretins talk about his lack of fitness they deserve every fucking sterile second of today. Flawed though N'dombele is Masons decision to leave killed what slim chance we had. him out

I think it's weird for anyone to be rolling on the floor laughing whilst looking at their team's lack of attacking threat. Maybe you pay ladies to stand on your testicles with high heels to get your kicks, whatever floats your boat I guess.
Both leaps of faith.
We supposedly have top class players and yet sometimes you would think our players had just been shown a ball.
We need to know who we are buying and with respect some of the purchases of the last 5 or 6 years have been very poorly considered.
Result is where we are today.
Skipp and Lo Celso - part of the solution? Not sure on that.

Let's not forget this.
City where shit by there standards so where we nothing more.
You need to be fit enough.
Wrong poster mate
Why is that what you like?
Really?
I was giving laughing emojis at some of your posts
That’s all so own it instead of getting childish
And that one counter came due to the fact they couldn't make those fouls anymore. I guarantee when pep and the city defense saw those changes they was laughing there bollocks off.
It was a huge mistake mate no matter how you say it. Also Tanguy would have made a big difference IMO his ability to break that City press especially when it's full of tired legs was what we needed
Not Sissoko hiding in the midfield pointing and just being a useless fucking donkey
Never expected Mason to fix anything also I just expected someone who had watched a modicum of spurs to know how shit Sissoko is and that he shouldn't be in the side
Let's not forget why either.
They invested (unfairly) in their squad and pay big wages. We didn't/don't really.
Because it makes them one of the best sides in the world. Because by doing it oppo teams rarely even get to fashion chances. Because it wins them games.
If you can combine skilful players with aggressivity it makes you a brilliant side.
And what's wrong with that?.....
I wasn’t proud of it. I was noting that a Spurs that play like cowards under a miserable cunt who blames everyone but himself for self-induced errors is not going to hold my interest. A Spurs struggling under an interim manager I can forgive.
I agree with this.
but we don’t have the team for that.
I know Sissoko's a donkey and I've said I would have played Ndombele but we were so comprehensively outplayed it wouldn't have made the slightest difference. There was literally nothing there to suggest otherwise on which to base any other conclusions from. A ball from Ndombele to Son or Kane today and they would have struggled to beat their men 1v1, when the ball did get to them they lost their duels (albeit the balls to them weren't perfect and they were isolated).
Ndombele would have still lost his man from the corner, or is there and evidence that his corner defensive abilities are elite and changed the outcome?
The only thing that I saw as a remote possibility was forcing the game to extra-time (assuming the Kangeroo Cup has extra time???) and then holding on for penalties, and hope the form of our and their 'keepers continue to form (Hugo was on fire and the r"keeper chucked the ball into his own net against Chavs).
I don’t blame Mason at all. He’s never managed at this level. To expect him to make good calls is unreasonable. He’s being put in charge to compete with one of the most successful managers in football and a squad built with billions. To expect something out of this final is in my opinion unreasonable. If Jose was setting us up and we failed to win, then yes. We can blame Jose because he has the experience and understands what it takes at this level.
It's part of the game baz. We did it under Poch. It's not cheating, it's a foul and fouls are given for them.
Love him
It is cheating and I don’t think that we did it under Poch anywhere near to the extent that Pep’s teams do it and it’s not the game that I want us to play anyway
You might be happy with it but I’m not and I include falling over feigning injury like Lamela did against Utd getting Martial sent off
Pathetic imv
