Reluctant Striker 134 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 49 minutes ago, Dr. Gonzo said: He lost his place under Poch though, didn’t he? I do hope he finds his way again, when he was at his best he was a truly fun player to watch. City look pretty comfortable 13 minutes in, which I guess you’d expect. He may have been rotated & perhaps not a first choice with Poch, to be honest I wasn't following Spurs too closely then. But he was in the England side at Russia 2018. Mourinho took over at Spurs in 2019. And I remember it seemed quite shocking news at the time when he was first left out entirely. The transfer ideas appeared after the omission with Dele Alli. He was playing with a sort of elegance at his best. I would have laughed in the face of anyone who'd have suggested Alli would be frozen out at Spurs & Man City would be coughing up £100m for Grealish back then.

El Profesor 1,457 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Lucas and Bergwijn looking good at this system, their pace to transition to counter-attack is giving City trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,368 Posted August 15, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted August 15, 2021 Superb break from Spurs to get that goal. Ake let's him cut inside and then Dias is static in the middle and barely tried to block it? Not sure what he was doing but it was a good strike from Son regardless.

El Profesor 1,457 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I really hope Haaland doesn´t end up at City. One of the best things in football at the present is seeing Haaland run at full speed towards the defenders. That wouldn´t happen at that static City side, he would be wasted as a poacher in a positional system of attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they’ll sign him anyway but I’m sure Pep would fit him into the team and play to his strengths. Turn him into a poacher ffs . City score plenty of goals that involve their players running at defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,368 Posted August 15, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted August 15, 2021 De Bruyne instantly changed the game here. Much quicker play from Man City. Wonder if he could have been brought on earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ 1,388 Posted August 15, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 15, 2021 No real surprise City losing at Spurs is it. New manager, first game there with a full crowd in what feels like years, City have a poor record there anyway. Lost their last few now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,271 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 You love to see it. Hopefully even with Stones next to him, Dias has a very shite second season. Him and Ake on that goal were hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefreeluke 722 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Nice game that for Nuno to start, City’s style makes it easier for Nuno’s tactics to flourish, add that to fans being back, City having players missing, first home game and new manager buzz it was the formula for a Spurs win.

Lucas 3,825 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 On 11/08/2021 at 19:44, Lucas said: Going to sound a bit of a loon here but I can see Spurs nicking this. And so it proved. City started well but faded and allowed Spurs to grow into it. On another day, they go 2-0 up early and kill the game but not today. Think Spurs grew in confidence as the 1st half went on and stayed in the game from there on. You could visibly see they were getting a lift from the crowd. Bit of a naff goal to give away from City's point of view really but that's the danger when you let teams get a foot in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single one of them did their job perfectly. Special shout out to Tanganga who pocketed Sterling and Grealish, he’s such a talent and to Skipp. Left a boy and come back a man. Will play for England no doubt That was just a different Tottenham. They were fitter and better drilled. We had intensity. We wanted to go forward and put pressure on them. The atmosphere was electric at times and the whole club felt together with a real desire to beat a club that have spent all summer trying to destabilise us. Absolutely buzzing after that start. Just what the club needed. Are you watching Harry Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,368 Posted August 15, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted August 15, 2021 when can Martin Tyler retire? At the end of the game he said 'and there'll be no talk of Harry Kane after this'. Is he smoking crack? It's all we'll fucking hear about between now and end of August. By his employers especially no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
