Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Maybe lately but only a year or so ago, nah. City were extremely good defensively and had a good degree of control over 99% of matches, so a world class shot stopper wasn't a priority and Ederson wasn't particularly prone to errors. He did his unique keeper role and yeah, sometimes shots went in that say a De Gea saves, but for the most part they were fine and dandy.

Right now they're exposed constantly and a shot stopper goalkeeper would be better than a tailored to a specific system goalkeeper. But for a dominant club, Ederson was more than fine.

He also wanted to leave to go to Saudi in the summer so perhaps his heart isn’t really in it.

City has this weird habit of keeping players around well after they say that want to leave.

Bernardo Silva has been open about wanting to move to Spain to be closer to home (and in sunnier weather) for like 3 years now. But they don't entertain bids for him at all.
 
What makes this even funnier is if they kept Cole Palmer they would be doing a lot better then they are now.

They had two players that should have saved them at least short term. Palmer and Oscar Bobb. One was sold and one broke his leg.

Even if that they need to replace their aging stars. De Bruyne, Walker, Bernardo Silva and Gundogan are all slowing down.
 
I thought a top team like City would have a good back up keeper and only evil villains like Levy would let the squad rely on the likes of FF be our backup (who has actually done very well)


Complete 180 turn on the rhetoric here from around the time that Vic got hurt...... Ortega was claimed to be good enough to start for a top team then.... "Better than a lot of clubs #1" etc. .........Now the bleeding hearts are making excuses for the petro-cheats lack of form.......

...............What happened to their world class bench putting us to shame?

Similarly; Chavs have 3 all better than Forster allegedly (even though their #1 is crap).

The red line!

It means that they're conceding a fuck load of chances which means eventually conceding goals and thus losing more matches which is what's happened, they've never been this defensively bad under Pep, rolling xg is normally a good indicator of trends and they are massively trending downwards, gonna take more than a Rodri to fix this.

They're creating chances though but that's probably down to individual brilliance because they have great attackers.

City's current run of form is, I think, 1 win in 11 matches ......... yet Spurs have a worse injury problem.

And in terms of goals conceded ..... City have conceded 26 goals in the last 12 games in all competitions.

If they continue with this form this season it spells RELEGATION.

Wonder if their players have already given up and downed tools and that's the reason for their current form. That would be delicious....... and certainly test the credibility of revenues for dubious deals in the Championship !

Imagine they get relegated... Only for the 130 charges to relegate them again on top of that........ Back to the 3rd tier you plastic, cheating wankers. :dembelefingers:
