***Spurs v Champions League cup Official Match Thread***

[Nigels Tackle]

Shooting is woeful again. Nearly every effort off target.

Our conversion rate for months has been shocking. Our our conversion from possession to chances is even worse. Good teams that play us just sit back , conserve energy and then fuck us when they have the ball, - and to be honest the City fans i've spoken to are completely bored by our style of football.

are you suggesting that we have a FINISHING issue?

We’ve won 7 drawn 2 in the PL which ain’t bad. Our injury crisis can’t be swept to one side. It’s real and is hurting us. In the circumstances we’ve done pretty well. Last night Dias had to start unexpectedly and played like it, Rico looks tired. More worrying was Gundogan struggling to adjust to the pace of the PL and Foden still off it. Still they’ll both be involved I suppose in the next three games which isn’t ideal. Huge credit to the youngsters coming in last night and doing well. We just have to grit our teeth and get through the next three games before the international break. It won’t be easy.

[Nick]

Agree with everything- we always shoot ourselves by not buying that one extra player. It also seems we only have two kids looking to be involved this year (o really and mcatee) mcatee isn't cutting it.

Glad we saw others last night. Wright looks slow and we need pace. Really liked Simpson.

Why couldn't we have got heskey on the bench last night and took him away from kids team?

[Hazy2]

Fair play to Nunes. Looks a player.

I am, but there are 2 issues in my mind. Converting attacks to attempts on goal and actually hitting the target when we do shoot or head the ball.

[Indianablue]

Why are our players tired, most guys can play 2 games or even 3 games per week. Amateurs ( you and me) or professional. 5 subs is a joke

I always try to give new players the benefit of the doubt, but I gave up on Nunes.
Shows how much we all know.

Calm down boys - it’s been 2.5 games Nunes has qualities that will help the team, we can see that now and hopefully this gives him the confidence to push on. I also like that he seems to back his teammates up.

Similar to Rodri and Gundo, no one can feel bad about judging a player based on the performances they put in - all three were crap when they came, let’s not rewrite history.

But Nunes looks like he’s going to be a valuable member of the squad and I’d like to see him in the middle instead of Gundo at the moment.

Pep likes a small squad which avoids too many players not getting minutes and getting pissed off. Fine. The reverse of the coin is that you’re only ever a few injuries from a crisis. I’d like to see one or two brought in in January. Echeverri arrives then and may go straight into the first team squad.

Agreed. We are seeing the results of a small squad here. No KDB, Doku or Grealish in the next 3 games at least. Sav we wait and see later today or tomorrow. I don't see the Argie kid helping much so we should be looking at our options for January

Is that serious about Kev and Jack? They’ve been training for weeks now!! I’d like the club to be transparent about what’s going on with them - they’re not injured! Kev 100% won’t be getting a new contract at the end of the season.

I got that as quoted by Pep in OS so taking that as legit? Looks to me that whilst we are managing KDB's recovery, he's going to go one way or another. Still a lot of noise around Wirtz so maybe Alonso is coming and is going to be bringing him along too?

Think he said unavailable until after the next fuking international break

[Mase]

Piss take. Can we not play in the Belgium kit? He might play then.

[nottsblue]

Maybe we plan on selling KDB in January rather than letting him go for free in the summer and we are wrapping him in cotton wool?

Hope not but there’s something not right with the situation

He's in full training but sounds like a mental issue. He's shit scared of getting injured again apparently.

[city72]

Oh his hols in Dubai it’s a hard life

Which makes sense and we're all with him there but its not ideal if he's then worried about breaking down again. I'm not against us wrapping him up to preserve a sale providing Wirtz or Musiala come in the same window and that's not happening

No Heskey likely because he's useless
