***City v Spurs (A) | Official Match Thread***

[PrezIke]

What worries me most is that when the team was announced 90% of us knew we’d lose. So how can the best manager in the world not see that?

Mate I struggle to see what team he could play given the lack of practise together in training with so many of our key players just returning.

Anyway I fully expect a good number of our fans to be in panic and ranting and raving for at least the next month or so (including after the window is closed) until we get into gear.

I am not in this camp, but it's going to be the same individuals who do it every season.

[Outcast]

Entertaining match and frustrating in ways, but I just can't read too much into these early games at all for obvious reasons.

How do you explain we still haven't scored a single goal at theirs?

This is not even close to the regular side that Pep wants to play and many have not trained nor played together.

We have no striker, and Jesus and Bernardo are not here because they want to be.

Our bench today could win the league, and that isn't including Foden.

Pep warned us this would happen and it's clear as day this was going to be a risk.

Spurs were also really damn good.

Son is a top top player.

Are you being serious? The talent on the pitch more than good enough to beat an average spuds side.
it's not my problem, we are paying him 20m a year to find solutions not excuses

[Mase]

It’s a marathon not a sprint . We were always going to struggle today .
Please sell Mendy ASAP

Why would one of the best teams in the world struggle on any occasion against Spurs?! They shouldn’t.

Lack of practice? So why did Sterling start?

[PrezIke]

New manager / prove we don't need Kane bounce.

Season is VERY VERY long.

Are we not forgetting how last season went?

Improvement is needed however, but always tough to read into early season performances, and this season is particularly difficult.

This is especially due to Euros + COVID and strange transfer window where players like Bernardo and Jesus can't be sold for a fee they should be in any other situation.

Also, the UCL is a Sprint. That is why we did not win it. You have a brain fart, you are out.

This could be a post from the CL Final. How many more times will it be repeated this year

It’s a mental attitude to have. Last season we went on a ridiculous run that started just before Christmas. That won us the league. That’s not going to happen this season, so every point counts.

Look pep had to pick a mismatch team. But what fucks me off is his total refusal to try to change something that is clearly not working. Bald prick.

He didn’t have to though mate. He started Sterling, so why didn’t he start Walker, Stones, Zinch? Still no one has answered this?

We are a month behind where we should be with most of our players being in the euros . A fully fit Ginger Kev , Foden and Grealish are going to be awesome in a few weeks . It’s all about the big picture not short sighted bullshit after one match . We got ducked 5-2 off Leicester this time last season then hit the ground running a few games after that . This season will be no different.

[PeterParker]

Sure, poor formation, but anyone felt we could equalize?

Anyone has the feeling we can come back and win a big game after we are one down? That's the problem.
No ideas, no pressure, same old passing around and they somewhat catch us again on the break and score the second.

We are letargic, we are so predictable even a blind man can understand our game.

[Hazy2]

I think we need a forward boys haha

We won’t have a run like we did just before Christmas. That’s what won us the league. Everyone else is strong this season.

We got away with the slow start last year as everyone else was shite...this season they are not.

We were embarrassing today and anyone thta defends the shit head manager of ours is just as embarrasing.

I'm sick of his excuses......EVERY OTHER TEAM HAD MORE OR LESS THE SAME FUCKING SUMMER AS WE DID ffs !

Because Pep knows more than you ? And has won more than you as a manager?

That argument I’m sure the people running City know more than you about e-tickets, and have successfully ran more football clubs than you.

So it’s the e-tickets fault ?
Pep has won more than you as a manager fact !
