Watching City cut through Tottenham(and most teams to be fair) with almost every attack makes our performance against them at the Emirates that much more special.
Besides that shit Spurs team. Countless time that Emerson guy lost his shit. Thank god we went for Benny instead
Tbf the way they play and especially the players they got in CB today doesn’t help haha
I’m still hoping they somehow someway steal a point or more today
Edit: Ange is genuinely cooking can’t lie.
With that team and those CBs playing like that? Scoring twice? Mad.
Definitely lucky they didn’t concede more but they play silky stuff ngl.
They’ll mess up as always ofc but hopefully they don’t lose in these last few minutes…
Edit 2: lol Bissouma had a stinker tonight. “Better than Rice” my ass
Edit 3: nicely done chickens. Nicely done.
I agree, but it might be a bit different at the Etihad. Still they look pretty vulnerable in defense when they go full on attack, so I think we can beat them there.
Yeah but spurs have injuries….🤣🤣- 4th loss in a row incoming and they dont even play mid week hahahaha
Arent spurs missing key defensive players tho? I love to rag them on but spurs arent good when theyre not carried by their stars
We are massive. We have the best defense in Europe and I won’t hear otherwise. Desperately want Timber tho because Zinny is a liability lately.
Newcastle at St James too where every team including PSG has been battered so far. Their whole xG was created by their “goal”.
Or that our only loss was a 1 nil defeat away.
They’re playing with 4 full backs in their back line mate
I appreciate our defensive efforts this season but to be fair, Spurs have almost half of the starting 11 out due to injuries. 3 of them being in the back. Like. You can’t expect the bench to hold up City.
Because everyone has their heads up man citys backside.
Safe to say Spurs are not going to win anything with this approach. Exciting to watch but way too porous at the back.
I don’t see the point of the comparisons in the comments.
We’re obviously strong defensively this season, but it’s not like it we’re in a position to brag considering our record v City after beating them in one match at home.
“This game is boring” - yeah, so was ours against City.
Spurs have the best record against City and they’ve got a significant chunk of their starting XI out - it’s the equivalent of Rice, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomi, Ode & then some - at the same time including mid-serious injuries. Both times played poorly too and City weren’t at their peak. Under those circumstances (consider if we were in that position), 3 goals against City & limiting them to just 2 (& zero for Halaand) and drawing overall for a point at the start of a rebuild is a solid effort.
Anyway, that’s the second time this season that Simon Hooper has made a howler of a ref decision against the team playing Spurs.
and they’ve got a significant chunk of their starting XI out - it’s the equivalent of Rice, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomi, Ode & then some -
Alternatively it is the equivealent of Timber, White, Partey, Odegaard and Jesus. You know, the exact line of players who were out for us for several rounds. We managed, but Spurs crumbled.
Spurs are blaming their poor run of games on injuries, but they have about the same as us, nut most of ours have been out for longer. And lets be honest, them missing Richarlison isn’t exactly a huge loss. They have had two players out due to suspensions on top of the injuries, but thats not bad luck. Thats just the consequences of dumb play. Spurs haven’t been hit and harder by injuries than any other team, with several teams being hit way harder than them
I mean with an Emerson Royal CB masterclass from Brave Ange any team would cut through them
We went punch for punch (block for block technically) with City and came out on top. And it was the first time I felt our teams were even.
But de Bruyne coming back will free City so we have to be ready to win every remaining game.
