Match Tottenham v. Manchester City (Sun Aug. 15 16:30 BST)

[TonySoprano]

We're not doing any pressing at all.

This is Jose light ball.

If you would have said this to me a year ago I would agree but that's simply not the truth and my opinion of "win at all costs" has changed tbh.

City and clubs like them have ruined the game for me, I want a league where anyone has a chance of winning it, not a league where blood money buys you success.

Kane wanting to fuck off to this Cheat code FC team has just solidified that opinion even further.

These scum clubs are sucking the enjoyment out of the game....

Dier looks mean today

Don Paratici probably told him before the game if you fuck up I am selling you to Halifax Town at HT.

 

[TonySoprano]

Cause he's also our best corner taker?

Like Clough used to say, i pay you to score goals. Get in the bloody box.

Teach someone else to take corners. It's not that hard.

Don't get why people are saying Tanganga can't be a RB? Brilliantly suited to the role. Been great so far.

It’s a bit different when his remit - on a day like today- is pretty much just defend and break once in a while.

His technical capability, and physical dexterity- just isn’t good enough (like any bulky CB) for the position on most days where you want your fb’s getting on the ball a lot and being auxiliary midfielders and attackers.

 

[Tottenham Massive]

Surely won't be a better time to face City than first game. No reason we shouldn't capitalise and take this.

I think we're missing Ndombele..... He could lead the press.

 

[TonySoprano]

City won't be playing this back 4 much again this season.

They look well shaky.

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

If all the players had the will of Lucas. What a guy

 

[Bazali]

Good run Lucas

And they have Mendy and Ake on the pitch.

 

[Don Giovanni]

Skipp is too raw, not (yet) good enough at this level.

 

[bus-conductor]

Poor ball Moura, after a good little dribble

 

[Incomplete_usernam]

Moura has been brilliant, Nuno has found his perfect position.

We are pressing and doing it fairly well. It's just not constant like under Poch.

Somehow he's even more of a plodder than Eric Dier. That takes some doing.

 

[Gazzapen]

I'd rather less possession and more incisiveness on the counter. Thats how we're going to score, of we're going to score. I'm fucking tired of playing like we're trying to LARP late-stage Wenger woolwich.

Kinda like Jose had us playing last season



According to some that's, "Anti-Football".

Would rather throw him in so he can learn from this than play Sissoko or Winks.
