Eriksen has been just as bad. In fact only Dembele has looked quality as he always does in big games. Adebayor is trying hard but not getting much support.
FFS people, we are only one goal down and we're already talking about defeat like we're out of this! Some positive changes and we can change the game. Sig is clearly not having a good game and exposing Rose's already iffy defending. Sig has to come off. Eriksen needs to drop deep at times. I feel we need a 5 man midfield.
I don't know why everyone is surprised. Sherwood wanted to get us playing "the Spurs way" - that, as I recall, involved us beating the teams below us and getting hammered by those above us. Which is what has happened.
There is a huge gap in quality here. Every one of their front six would walk into our team. Ridiculous.
Christ ... they hit the post on 4 mins, scored on 15 mins, Lloris pulled of a worldly on 20 mins and that looked like a penalty to them on 28 minutes...
Have Lennon and Sigurdsson been sent off? I haven't heard their name mentioned and City look like they're playing with 2 extra men...
At the Etihad, (despite the scoreline) we played really well against them for a big chunk of the first half, they tend to get better in the second half, all quite scary!
And so would most of their bench. I still think if this game came a week later with Sandro, Paulinho and Dembele making up a 5 man midfield with Vertonghen instead of Dawson we would have half a chance.
Target Yaya. Get him turning towards his own goal and he becomes a liability, cause he is a lazy bastard.
oh come on Flaspur, City are bloody brilliant and thrash everyone every week. it's not negative, it's realistic. Let's hope we can get something, but lets not kid ourselves that it's likely we're going to lose. and a goal disallowed. FFS.
Aguero intentionally walking into Dawson's shoulder and then feigning injury? What a ****er. Be interesting to see that offside decision again. Very tight.
Shows we're still in the game, just. Who was the twat who fouled Rose for the free kick, that should have been a booking.
