at Spurs new shithole

[gavin]

City XI | Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Otamendi, Delph, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Silva (C), Mahrez, Sterling, Aguero Subs | Muric, Kompany, Stones, De Bruyne, Sane, Jesus, Foden

Mahrez!! No Bernard :-(

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Nervy start by both team. It was definitely a penalty but a poor effort from Kun.

City not too inspiring so far, hopefully they'll grow into the game.

[Lekos]

Bit of a Joke of a penno I think, glad we didn't score it. Let's beat them with actual proper goals. Playing well though spuds.

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Definitely a pen that mate, he was wafting his arms all over the show! The ref had been pretty inconsistent for both sides so far to be fair.

[Lekos]

I think it was soft. None of our players even called for it, it was that soft.

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

God bless VAR then haha

[gavin]

It was the sort of penalty that's given these days. Ask PSG and Otamendi. Tonight's was actually the most of a penalty to me as he had his hand up.

[gavin]

Poor first half though. Hope for much better second half.

[Stephen Paul]

Mahrez looks as if he has been on the piss

Nothing new there then

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Shane's enjoyed the CL this year, get him on

[Rowley Birkin QC]

This new Spuds turf looks a touch shit.

Might have cost them Kane...

[Rowley Birkin QC]

And what is the point of Mahrez?

[Lekos]

This new Spuds turf looks a touch shit.

Aye, people keep slipping over.

And what is the point of Mahrez?

I was about to post something along these lines. He's not great is he, out of his depth. If you can't beat Danny Rose then do something else.

[Lekos]

And they just scored ffs. We'll have them second leg.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Defenders should stop appealing for a ball that clearly hadn't gone out - and get on with the game.

[goat]

prefer danny granville back than fuckin delph

[KunDB]

Absolutely dreadful

[Lekos]

Has Mahrez actually delivered a decent cross or pass into the box all game? Out of your depth lad.

[Lekos]

Fair

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

I wonder what took pep so long to make the changes? Should have got them on as soon as the goal went in!

[Lekos]

Going all out for the remaining 3 comps and not wanting to kill his best players.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Well I suppose we had started to dominate just before the goal, and perhaps Pep thought we'd just carry on where we had left off - so no subs yet.

But the goal seemed to take something out of us. We looked a touch tired and sluggish after that. I thought the subs should have been sooner than 3 minutes to go!

[lee]

soon as i seen delph on the teamsheet i knew he'd fook it up

[Hesperus]

Poor performance, poor team selection, poor subs. I’ve thought for the last 4 games that we are running out of steam a bit.

With no away goal, we’ve got it all to do now in the return leg.

[Hesperus]

I wonder what took pep so long to make the changes? Should have got them on as soon as the goal went in!

Without question Pep left the subs too late, an extra 20 mins for Kev and Sane would not have made any difference if Pep is trying to keep them rested.

[Lekos]

That's not true though is it. Kev especially is a little fragile at the moment.

[gavin]

The approach wasn't positive enough from the start but he left it far too long for KDB and Leroy to come on. Fucking frustrating. We'll have to be at it next week.

[Hesperus]

That's not true though is it. Kev especially is a little fragile at the moment.

I disagree, if he’s not up to 20 mins at the end when the game is stretched, he shouldn’t even be on the bench.

[gavin]

A word for Jenas - cnut.

[goat]

he was on about silhouettes handballing before i switched to spanish

[Lekos]

I disagree, if he’s not up to 20 mins at the end when the game is stretched, he shouldn’t even be on the bench.

I'm not suggesting he would break down, I'm suggesting he might be on the end of a harsh or accidental tackle that injured him (like Kane). I'd rather be going into the second leg and the remainder of the season with him intact.

[Paddy]

SHITE and Pep to blame for his arrogant team selection. Spurs always our bogus team

[Lekos]

We've won the last 3 premier league games against spurs (aggregate 8-3). How are they our bogey / bogus team?

[goat]

are you forgetting 81

[Lekos]

Hahaha. Didn't go far enough back did I. Silly me.

[KunDB]

Rotation cost us tonight. The only rotation I would use Mahrez for is to grow my plants. Every time he plays the team misfires.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

are you forgetting 81

I certainly fucking haven't.

[goat]

sorry kenny 

[lee]

or me..still hurts..fookin hippy dancing into the box.tommy caton on his arse

[Paddy]

Poor pen but should have been retaken, keeper was def off his line before Kun kicked the ball

[gavin]

They seem to have forgotten that rule again for now. Remember the move the ball ten yards for bickering about decisions. That soon got forgot. Rules come in and out of fashion like Goat's old corduroy jacket.
