***spurs v city cl 1/4 final official match thread***

[Beefymcfc]

Oh, and thanks to TB64 for the link. Watched with French commentary which was quite amusing. Also a little of Danny Higginbotham who was very complimentary but then ended with Sutton who screamed like a fan when they scored.

Unsure who BT had on, hopefully not Sutton.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Please rest mahrez, for rest of season

Well, we are in a better position than I anticipated at 19:30 tonight. As others have said spurs were for the best part average this evening, arguably their 12th man I.e. the crowd were better.

Pep really must start with this team next week

Eddy
Walker, stones, laporte, zinchenko or bendy
Fernandinho
KDB, Bernardo
Sterling, Sanè
Sergio

Who they got at the weekend? They will need a win as the top 4 is far from secure for them.

Oh and pinocchio can fuck off giving large to Delph, Kane the cunt went in heavy on Delph deliberately, karma I believe they call it.

Walker. No thank you. Diabolical. Would nearly rather vinny at right back.

[Beefymcfc]

Any reports of Kane's injury? Didn't look good but am more worried that he'll be out. Spurs seemed a far better team when Son was leading the line.

Surprised he wasn’t injured earlier the amount he was throwing himself around. Cunt.

My thoughts as well. Seems the far faced little fuck blames Delph rather than Kane.

I fucking hate April, remember last year arggggghhh

When Kane was out they won every game

Fair enough, maybe Danilo in that case? Didn't Stones once patch up right back?

[Harry Dowd scored]

On reflection it’s betterthan this time last year against the murderers, we can beat Spurs at home

PeP picked a fucked up side in that match as well.....deja fucking Vu!

[gmercer1]

Mahrez just doesn’t seem on the same wave length as the rest of the team. The right side comes to a stand still whenever he plays.
Hate to say it but my fave player D Silva seems to have lost his legs. He has given the ball away more in the past 4 months than he has the rest of his city career. Shave your feckin head please
Ps can’t see Sane signing a new contract anytime soon

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Can't be arsed going through the thread but is Sergio getting almighty grief like Mahrez did when miised at Klanfield?

If he scores we get a fantastic result , now its looking very iffy!

[PrezIke]

Annoying result in the same leg same round, again.

[PrezIke]

I hate to say it but Kun bottled it

[PrezIke]

Also, Pep's team selection had too many changes to players who are on the fringes in a huge match.

We clearly think we can still win, and we can, but the team didn't look as cohesive other than spells and we didn't threaten on goal practically at all.

Delivery on corners was not bad either, but no one in good positions to do much at all. Also, how many times do I hear "great defending" for teams that play against us? It is very common and almost wish there was a thread documenting every time I hear that vs for us.

Not that our defenders were overly poor, but Laporte got taken once by Dele and Nico was actually decent, but Delph's reaction may have led to the goal. Walker seemed frustrated. I will say it as I did when Stones came back recently. We miss him for creativity with Laporte.

Their pressing, intermittently utilised, caused us problems and I have to start wondering if David Silva is the best option, but he also isn't playing regularly and that rotation may be also a double edged sword.

Ederson was great and Sterling most lively.

When KDB and Sane came on I wish they had played more.

Is Sane on his way out or something? Makes me wonder.

Just finished watching so mood is not great, but we're banking on the home leg and I know Kane will be out, but they seemed to get better after he went off other than when we had the good spell when Son scored.

[Dimples]

The players were not brave enough.
They did not go for it balls out.

It's now a 50/50 shot. If they score at ours, which they can, no bother, it is going to be very difficult for us.

[dazby]

As mentioned in the match thread, there was a great time to make subs just after the 70 minute mark.

We had them under pressure, and KDB coming on could have been a killer punch. Instead, they go down the other end and score. Pep blinked.

Still, we'll get them at ours.

They are playing Huddersfield at home over the weekend. They can rest their reserves and still win.

[Saul Goodman]

Who knew that losing Zinchenko could have such a high likelihood of derailing the season.

Delph gash yet again. at fault for the goal. Ederson should've saved it too.

Pep rightly viewing this as a 180 minute match and tried to balance that with the Palace one coming up and the crazy fixture schedule.
