Korean commentary for our equaliser LOL
Alli's ability to do nothing for half the game then score a crucial goal never ceases to amaze me.
They're Muslim, so I doubt it
Guardiola clearly had a plan to keep Eriksen quiet as someone pointed out earlier - and it worked.

He did get on the end of a cross but he was offside..
Nailed on too.
Yes, Eriksen has been playing well, but in a game like this one today when we're under the cosh you might as well take him off. I would have done so after 20 minutes today and replaced him with Son or Winks.
Eriksen wil play well against Boro though.
Well we wouldn't have been so shaky at the back and we do like to play out. It was Wimmer fucking about that led to his yellow and Lloris' obvious discomfort which he didn't manage to shake off.
Today's result shows how resilient and hardskinned we have become. Previous Spurs teams would have crumbled at 2-0 down, but Poch has made such a tough team with a never say die attitude which was shown again today.
The 3 at the back today didn't work, whether he'll try it again at Sunderland with Davies in there or resort to a back 2 is yet to be seen. Having the FA Cup game is good as Toby can have a proper rest.
Worst that can happen is we drop to the 3rd tomorrow, still that isn't awful. We are well in with a chance of getting a top 4 place. That 2 years in a row is a great achievement considering our recent inconsistency.

I think it goes to show what a threat we have become to these "big" clubs that a 2-2 draw is a great result for them against us. If we spent billions like they had and only got a point against a team that has a net spend of £1M over the last few seasons I'd be fucking chuffed too. At least for City it might mean top four, whereas for Chelsea it meant nothing.
I'd say it's as marginal as Kane was for the goal.
I disagree. We got outplayed today. We didn't get hammered. A hammering is 4-0 or 6-0 or something. Not a 2-2 draw. They outplayed us but were shit in front of goal. 7 shots on target cannot be a hammering unless most of them go in. For our part, we were clinical when we got chances. But I'd still say we were outplayed today even though we got a point.

Check out his rating today, compared with his others. Not a great believer in stats, but my eyes thought he was poor tonight.
oh, and a mention for Harry Winks.
Comes off the bench into an absolute red-hot maelstrom. Cool as a cucumber, didn't put a foot wrong, don't think he gave the ball away once. Great prospect.

Let's get the Mackems out of the way first, eh?

The stats don't disprove what I said mate. Kane and Alli were pretty quiet as well for the same reason, in spite of the latter's goal.
This is a massive point for us. Man City were hugely motivated for a strong performance today. This was their night under the lights. They did play well but, with some hard graft and a bit of luck, we've scored two away from home and come away with a point. This will be hugely demotivating for them but should also provide a big chunk of confidence for us. Like Trump waltzing along to the White House, we should be bathing in glory tonight, irrespective of whether we've won the public battle in this one encounter. Thanks for the four points Pep.

You're a JAH and a DQ.
Not with you beardy.
Get to fuck you utter pillock. He's been sublime in our run of victories, including beating Chelsea and some tricky away games. You are a plastic cunt of a fan, and a total bore of an attention seeking tosspot. Just fuck off and stick to the Mail online. Ignorant cunt.
