The PL want drama at the end of the seasons. They want the trophy to be decided in the last game.

The Havertz goal should have been disallowed because they literally pushed the goalkeeper as he was trying to set himself up to save the shot.

Kulu should have gotten a penalty for us and instead it went the other way for the Saka goal.

Romero was shoved when he went up for the header.

Not a single time did they check VAR.
 
The five minutes that decided the title…

Obviously was a pen, but we’re now 0-7 our last 130 minutes of football, while in a top four race. Close to sackable?

It's so fucking bullshit supporting this team man. We have a goal ruled off because they draw lines wherever they fancy it, we concede two fucking dumbshit corners because they use the genius tactic of "just run 5 players at the front post" and we have no counter for it. We concede an OG by the guy who hasnt started in months. We miss a 1v1 through Son who doesn't contribute anything but goals and still doesn't deliver even that. We don't get any luck on a potential penalty decision. We have two Romero headers that should have gone in. We have a home support who have barely made a fucking noise.

The list just goes on and on and makes the whole thing fucking miserable. I was so up for this game but it's just pouring liquid shit on my soul now.

Vicario is terrible at corners. Just too weak. Great shot stopper but terrible at corners. Doesn't command his 6 yard box at all. That is the problem whenever we concede corners.

For as long as he is not trained to be more commanding during corners, we will concede more, even if we have the greatest centrebacks in the world.

I don’t disagree with any of this, except calling it “the” problem. We have layers of problems in defending of corners. Our marking is a shambles. We are slow to react. Others besides Vicario are easily pushed aside. It’s a total wreck.
 
Started off well, then we concede these stupid fu cking corner goals again and again, a little push here and there to our defenders and goalkeeper to their advantage, we score an offside goal, hit the post, dodgy scenes with the pen, and we are 3-0 down at home. What the fukc is going on?

Look at how we line up. They have 6 players making runs and we are all standing still, looking away from them at the ball. It's nothing to do with Vicario. If we keep lining up like that they will score from every corner even if we have Gordon Banks in goal.
 
The worst thing is the Arse haven't even been playing well. They have set up to exploit the 2 things we are weak at - low block/counterattacks & set pieces. How is this any different from what Wolves, Fulham, Brighton etc have done to us. A team challenging for the title reverting to what midtable teams have successfully done should team you everything about just how vulnerable our tactics are.
 
We’ve had 70% of the ball in the last 1.5 matches and we’ve conceded 7 unanswered goals. That is disgusting.

I’m not Ange out yet but managers can only afford to be so stubborn before they get themselves in trouble.

Pep was stubborn in his first season with City but it wasn’t to this extreme. You don’t have to sacrifice your football principles to fix our defending on set pieces. Two weeks to prepare for the game and that was the best we could do?

As much as I like Angelos, and I don’t want him out, his lack of tactical awareness is unnerving. He needs to sort this shite out fast!
Spurs have actually played possession wise yet and posing much threat and the tactics and corners are still leaving Spurs massively exposed. Carbon copy of a long balls and free headers have been happening week in week out and Spurs do nothing about it.
Spurs defending against set pieces are terrible. How can we keep doing the same thing, hoping for a different outcome? Literally the definition of insanity.
Spurs mentality is still Spursy weak as is summed up by selecting Son as captain, a nice guy but not someone who will drag you through a game, get in the oppositions faces.
Spurs just always seem to lay down and take it.

How long are people going to continue to say he has to sort this shit out though?

He hasn't given any inclination he can sort anything out.
