[Nigels Tackle]

won £850
was so predictable….

Good for you lad, hope you spend it wisely

don’t worry, i won’t

[carl_feedthegoat]

mugged again - Raz off instead of Foden was a gamechanger and .... I'll stop there (and never start a match thread again)

Apart from that cross of his , he was just as useless .

I think, as mention above, it looks like are losing our form. Usually this is the part of the season when you reach your best, but we seem to lose our momentum since the Chelsea game.
We have too many players out of form and I am a bit worried, to be fair. Last year, after losing with the rags in this period of time, we finished the last part of the season very slow.

Worried, but I have a feeling we needed this game.

Also I hope Kane gets fucking stomach worms. The coward shite is the reason we have no striker today and seing him today, I hope we are not that stupid to go again after him

[Mase]

If we go back in for Kane I’ll stop watching City. The guy is a piece of shit and I don’t want him anywhere near this club.

Agree. But we need someone.
Pointless crossing balls into midgets.

Enjoy the last few years of your trophy-less career Harry, you mouth-breathing cockney cnut.

If we don’t go all out for Haaland we’re stupid. He’s the type of player that makes the difference on a day like today.

Went to the match. Spurs defended deep and effectively with a back 5 and hit us with Son’s pace on the break. Very predictable. All of our back four were poor but I thought Dias was the worst of a bad bunch. Pathetic non jump by Walker for the Spurs winner; surely Stones would have done better.. Further forward City worked very hard. Bernardo and Kevincouldn’t be faulted for effort but by and large they couldn’t conjure up much. Sterling was involved in the first goal and then disappeared, Foden didn’t do much. Having said that we battered Spurs after their second goal and were value for the equaliser. Spurs had some dodgy moments and Lloris made a great save. I’m speechless about losing so late. Sickening.

When will the bald cunt learn to play a settled back 4 ?

I’ll tell you when - never .

You were waiting a long time for this.

Baldie's fault again?

You can't blame guardiola for players not doing their job, when I saw the team I thought great line up!!

No issue with the lineup. But we’ve still not developed tactics against teams that whack 11 behind the ball and counter us. That’s Pep.

It’s not just Spurs, it’s any team that take this approach against us. It’s been a few years and we’ve still not learnt to deal with it.

Will be avoiding the Sunday press after this, it will be gut wrenching Oliver Holt will be in ecstasy

[City64]

Woeful defending cost us against a very average team . Dias surprisingly had his worst game yet in a city shirt not his self today miles off it . Cancelo at fault losing possession in his own half straight after we had equalised for 2-2 absolutely woeful after getting ourselves back in the game . Had a feeling a poor performance was just around the corner we always seem to manage one when in cruise control?!?!? Thank fuck we are still 6 points ahead , time to re group and re focus , seen a lot of city fans in the Etihad lose their heads today through sheer frustration . One of them days no more please

[City64]

Rodri and Laporte - both a complete joke today

Add Dias to that.

Just a shit day. I thought that Foden and Kev had no impact at all as they were marked out of the game. I thought that Sterling should’ve stayed and one of them gone off for Mahrez but to score 3 and ship 4 says that the issues today were elsewhere.

I wasn’t expecting that second half where every attack from them seemed a goal in waiting. It was obscene.

Agreed. Sterling was actually a real threat. Mystifying withdrawal, Foden was useless tonight and vanished in the 2nd half. KDB did nothing too, literally nothing. Stunning. Obscene is an apt word, it was truly that.

KDB had a decent game but was man marked and fouled to fuck , he actually was our best defender as the 4 useless cunts who were supposed to be defenders didn’t turn up !!!

At the end of the day even if dippers win game in hand we are still 3 in front with them to play so not the end of the world yet

I think the idea is we'll outscore them. And TBF we normally do. We were just poor pretty much all round today.

Nail on head.

One of those days and history tells us they are not only rare, but they normally lead to long winning runs so I'll take that.

I don't think we deserved anything more than a draw today, if even.

It's rare we lose a game that we deserved to. And I take those defeats much easier than the ones where we're robbed by officials.

Totally agree. Too many players below par. Hopefully they've got it out of their system because this is a bad time to be playing Everton in their gaf

[Mase]

Liverpool beat Leeds Wednesday they’re then 3 points behind us. We need to stop this “6 points” nonsense thinking it’s a 100 point gap.

[carl_feedthegoat]

I hope that Rodri and Laporte are benched for the foreseeable - Rodri was a fucking disgrace.
