Manchester City v Tottenham - Sunday 3 Dec 16:30

[Raf]

If we're going to compromise the play style by sitting this deep, then we might as well just play long balls as well. We'd create more that way too.

 

[Paul Gascoigne]

Also, he says the ‘my team never changes’ line publicly but we’ve dropped our line 10-15 yards today. I’m sure they’ll talk about our high line based on the Chelsea game for the rest of the year.

How are people melting for this game? It’s fucking City and we don’t have a CB, surely you mentally prepared that this was going to be a tough one

That doesn't excuse players not doing the basics well. Any other team would have the passion to try. Emerson and Davies are not CBs so surely its time to let Dorrington have a go at it ?

 

[Stateside Spur]

Surprised gil is getting so much shit when he's giving 100% and working,getting involved and trying to get us up the pitch when Johnson has done absolutely fuck all again. Bissouma playing so shit again means we're not able to break the press in there like we could if bentancur was playing. Majority out there giving it their all doing all they can barring Johnson and bissouma but it's a tough task. Lucky to come in only 2-1 down.

What are you on about? Our only other clear opportunity aside from the goal came from Johnson outpacing their defense. Johnson has been fine.

Really it’s Royal, Bissouma, Udogie and Davies just being absolute calamities causing all of the problems.

santiago for gil

why not

give youth a chance

i would bring on Dorrington for royal too

 

[Two Left Feet]

Both Sonny’s goals were outstanding! The first, magnificent, the second, the own goal was outstandingly stupid - when you’re defending in the area you do not just stick your leg out!

 

[bus-conductor]

This 442 is really not working. Asking way too much of Bissouma. And defensively, collectively, we’ve been pretty shoddy.

It’s like watching Villa’s 2nd goal every 5 minutes. Starts with Son and Kulusevski putting no pressure on the ball.

Lo Celso a complete magician again today. ️

[MVP]

Don't panic Levy

Deal with it, Pep got the same shit when he first came to England and kept playing out from the back. If you want to shut them up then win the games.

Lets get our players back first and give him some support from the board, they left him without a CB. Pep never had to deal with that, he just gets anyone he wants.

 

[Paul Gascoigne]

What a pathetic post.

?????

the invisible trick is working wonders

Apart from one run what the fuck has he done. Not helping his full back that's getting targeted every attack not dropping in to build up play. He's been shit atleast gil is helping his defender.

 

[JDefoe]

If you don't like the way Ange plays then I suggest you move on to another team.

Ah brilliant, a bit of criticism and you’re lobbing the “go find another team” shite.

 

[Maureen]

If Son had 1 good playmaker around him right now (Maddison, Kane etc) he'd have 2-3 goals. The game is open but zero service.

Bcos we don’t play the ball quick enough. We want to keep pissing about abd loding the ball in our own half. They have been pressing high as well so why not hit it long.

 

[Sundowner]

I think Gil, Johnson and Son are good players. But all 3 as a starting front line is so light weight. Dias probably weighs as much as all 3 combined

 

[LLB Part Deux]

Here we go people. Buckle up for 45 minutes of sheer terror.

Spoiler

plus extra time

 

[Brooklyn]

Hojbjerg warming up

 

[Trainspotter]

He’s never ok. The fella is stealing a living.

He’s been a nonentity in that half, yet again one or two basic passes make people think he’s having a good game.

I tried writing something positive, and Ok was the best i could come up with. I Agree

 

[Crocker]

Hearing everything that is being said about Gil and Royal today, but the real enigma is Bissouma. Seems to have simply gone AWOL on the pitch and is offering nothing at all. Very strange.

 

[Bazali]

Phillips is injured - out for a month

Did Cash kick him in a taxi queue?
