Dav should have either gone to our fans or did the City thing if he was going to celebrate in front of Watford……still can’t get over Hernández trying to slap a gooner fan in the face with his City shirt after scoring an injury time winner

Its woeful. Should be 4 pts minimum from those 2 games.
Well, unless you're in the press, they'll all say Watford deserved it like they said we didn't deserve 2 perfectly good goals against Southampton with 75% of the ball and 21 shots
20shots/9target + 76% today too.
Yet some twats call this Nuno-ball.
Good team? This is a minimum requirement. A good team would have put this game away early or would have at least created 10 times more than we did.
This.Criticism of Royals crossing, but you have to remember that it is job of the players in the box to find the space and attack the ball. Outside of Dele, we have no players in our attack that are capable of attacking crosses.
You cannot expect Royal to pick out and unmarked Kane or Son in the box if they are being marked by defenders, its up to them to make the movement and fight for that ball.
shit result
Sometimes the game just looks so easy

We can’t say we play 3 4 3 with Reggie and Royal as our wing backs.
My problem also is, I’m not sure Conte is a fan of creative players, I remember Eriksen(*) struggled at inter just as Ndombele is.
But we need to probably play Gil or whoever can do something with a ball more often. We have been playing 5 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders.I can say we are lucky to be getting goals.
Then when we are looking for goals we bring in Winks.
Just watching the analysis and Keys and Gray are pundits for Bein Sports.
Brings back the good old days of Sky Sports, before the woke brigade ruined football.
I'm so pleased I cancelled Sky.
Fucking hell see City celebrate in front of the gooner fans, made my day even better
Hahahaa
I actually think this is more relevant / important than many realise. Yes Emerson's crossing was terrible yesterday, and Adama's normally is too. However, Emerson was usually crossing from poor positions because he was either unwilling or incapable of beating his man. Adama would simply have smashed his way past that man to the byline, and hopefully smashed a random ball across a dangerous area. So whilst they are both poor at passing / crossing generally, Adama's ability to easily get into a better position would (for me at least) have made him more likely to create a goal.Adama can actually take a player on
We didnt create 20 chances. We just shot 20 times. They arent all chances.
I’m sorry but these are stats without context. Wow Emerson had touches in the oppo box! It was because watford didn’t care. I’d also question how on earth he created 6 chances unless he gets one for every time he didn’t hit the first man on a cross.All were poor today. But Emerson was one of the Spurs better players.
Emerson Royal's game by numbers vs Watford:
89% pass accuracy
113 touches
13 crosses
8 touches in opp. box
7 duels won
6 chances created
5 take-ons attempted
3 take-ons completed
2 tackles
1 interception
He is the 3rd best tackler in the PL and people need to get off his back and encourage him.
He has had no pre season. He does not speak English. He is 22.
While I’m going off on one:
Son Most touches in opp. box (9) Emerson had 8
Davinson sanchez most improved player since conte arrived imo.
They deserved 0 points but frankly we didn't deserve 3 points.Watford deserved NOTHING from that game FFS.
Majestic...
