lol. cheslea keeper nearly spills it into own net then they go down the other end and score. son crying salt tears again. clown.
Spurs showing how not to ply with 9 men. Defend the half way line with no pressure on the ball or pace at the back and 1 ball through them is cutting them open every time. It’s like they didn’t even pay attention to how we played against them. Sat back, low block with 1 up top to try counter. Be solid and hope to Nick something maybe via a set piece. Suicidal defending and really amateurish from manager
spurs being found out they struggled to 2-2 v arsenal they got.very lucky off a bad bad var official v us and seriously had no ideas how to play us. they've imploded here in a cloud of indiscipline. gifting goals to the woeful Jackson now. suicide high line on half way, constant diving and fouling and such. love it.
anyway, as much as that was fun to watch for karma the reality is we should not be ahead of them but threw in a stinker this weekend.
Commentators saying how heroic Spurs were. I suppose they're right, if you consider a kamikaze pilot to be heroic.
About the only thing that could have made that sweeter is if the PGMOL now went and issued a statement saying that VAR in Stockley Park thought Dier's goal had been given on the field and they thought they were confirming it. And admitted they were watching golf on another channel at the time, so that's how they got confused.
I’ve said it before; City will win this league by at least 10 points…it may be much more tbh. The rest is up for grabs and we are looking ok for top 4/5 (whichever a CL spot is these days)
I have it at 15. it is entirely down to best of the rest and that's why drawing to Luton is a shambles. we can't afford another result like that all year.
Was just reading some of the ‘ref watch’ based on last nights game and this last bit stood out to me. I thought that you could still give a red card even if there was an offside offence if it was for serious foul play? Wasn’t that the whole debate with the Pickford/vvd incident? Refs thought the offside overruled the tackle but was then later ruled that can still be sent off? Otherwise if you see someone is clearly offside could just 2 foot them in the shin and get away with it. Romero would have been sent off even if Caicedo goal had been given This is important: Ref Watch has confirmed that Romero's wild tackle on Fernandez WOULD have been investigated even if Caicedo's 'goal' hadn't been ruled out for offside. It is an "act of serious foul play and that will always be punished," explains Gallagher. "It's a red card offence and you can't overlook a red card offence unless there's an offside."
always been the case as Donga and I very slowly explained tothe rest of PL board using only little words plus pictures until it finally sank in - well with most of them .
City might consider losing away at Wolves is an shambles Long,long way to go and nobody is firing on all cylinders atm.
I generally think GD gives a good indication as to how close teams are. City GD isn’t massively ahead of anyone else at the moment so not running away smashing teams constantly with a couple of random results. Where as you look at United and Newcastle. Only 2 points separate them but 20 goals (admittedly 8 from one Newcastle game) but shows Newcastle are winning games comfortably where as United have scrapped a few wins and almost in false position based on fact that you’d expect them to drop more points going forward if not scoring enough and conceding more. Spurs took bit of a hit Gd last night but down to 9 men and suicidal tactics. Think you can see 5 of top 6 all similar in that case with villa just behind and would expect those 5 to be the top 5 come end of season based on points and their current GD.
Those 8 points out of 9 that were dropped away against promoted sides last term cost us a CL place. No argument, they just did. We're a better team than last season, for sure, but we still look like we'll struggle against the same tactics that Luton deployed (don't blame them for that - they nearly, perhaps should have, won), but we look bereft in the face of it. That said, had Darwin taken one of the chances in the first half (or Jota), we would probably gone on to win comfortably. But that was the case too with Forest and Bournemouth away last season - we can't afford a ratio of 1 conversion to 7 chances away as well as at home. But it's not all doom and gloom - when we release Macca from 6 to the 10 he should be, I'm convinced that he will be the player Thiago nearly was, but never quite managed to be.
I stopped reading near the start after they claimed the yellow card for Udogie's two footed lunge was right
