Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City

Turns out they’re there because Gil is injured.

 

Bit of an odd choice to add yet another CB to the squad last second

Then again, wasn't there one match a couple of seasons ago where we had two GKs on the bench?

 

Yeah I remember that, vaguely.

We badly need reinforcements

 

Fancy you'll win tonight lads

 

First time since the world cup we have something like a full squad.

 

It's not like we have attacking players in the Academy/U23 squad.

 

Thursday night question. How many ‘tactical’ fouls will City commit before they get a yellow card,if they get one at all ?

 

COYS

 

I believe the conversation went like this

Ryan Mason: Under 21s

Conte: Centre back?

Ryan Mason: Un-der twen-ty-ones?

Conte: Cen-tre back?

Ryan Mason: U-n...

Conte: C-e...

On a side note, we still haven't updated the academy players on our website, as half of the U21s are still last season's photos while the handful of U18s are all last season's pics as well

 

Could've chucked White or Devine on there.

 

Interesting thing I spotted: Harvey White is no longer listed as an U21 player on our site, and is listed as a member of the first team

And yes, he does have a pic in this season's kit

 

Why was Kulusevski supposed to be marking Haaland on that corner?

 

Davis is on speed.

 

What's the difference between that tackle on Hojbjerg and Emerson's red v Arsenal?
Not saying that's a red or even a card, by the way.

 

Sky have stated that Man Utd have to overcome a significant handicap before taking their "rightful" place at the end of the season?

 

Haaland with a second dive of the match.

 

Mahrez in the book for pulling down Kulusevski. Bit harsh, actually.
The Swede should've played that early to Son. Had acres.

 

Is it legal to book one of their players for tactical fouls this early in the match?

 

Romero in the book. Not even a foul. Total dive.

 

@paultheplug did an rcl.
