XI | Ederson, Lewis, Walker (C), Akanji, Ake, Rodrigo, Bernardo, Mahrez, Grealish, Alvarez, Haaland
SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Dias, Phillips, Gundogan, Laporte, De Bruyne, Gomez, Perrone, Palmer
A strange team. I'm surprised. Pep knows best - hopefully.
strange no Gundogan or KDB in the first 11
I get KdB being out but I'm surprised Gundo isn't in there. Delighted to see Alvarez in there.
cant see how we can leave out Foden,Gundo and KDB in such an important fixture
prove me wrong Pep
another woeful start
WTF is going on
Another self inflicted goal conceded.
Out back four are poor. We should not be in the position given the resources we have.
Not playing Haarland through again despite him making great runs.
The best I can say is we are struggling to be second best.
piss poor
surely a couple of changes

Noticed it..Been happening a while now
We started well and were dominating the game. But then we just gifted them a goal again. We were dominating again towards the end and Mahrez was so close. I didn't think it was too bad a half apart from giving the ball away too much again.
67 % possession and three attempts on goal
No matter how often we play Spurs we seem totally unaware they hit fast on the break.
Pretty ineffectual football by City. Sideward, slow and no decent chances created.
Dross.
We've gone backwards this season, Badly. Slow play, poor team selections dodgy tactics.
Realistically FA cup is our best chance of a trophy this season. Our team is just not strong enough for the CL and we're making an awful mess of the PL.
we are definitely on a poor run of form
No real bite in the team at all , big Haaland getting no service , fuckin Ederson had more touches ffs
Turd
Looked more threatening when Kev came on so why didn't he start? Spuds must have been delighted when the team sheets were handed in

its beyond me
Either Gundo or Kev have to start
Poor performance. The lad they pushed over to left wing had the beating of Walker for pace. We were slow all over the pitch. Play like that and we are playing for the top 4 only. Hopefully we can quickly turn it round. Grealish is doing his part both in attack and defence. I was thinking we lack pace upfront, but Haaland is no slouch, of course if we cant find him..
A poor performance in the end. Disappointing again. As for not being strong enough to win the Chumps, I disagree with that. Chelsea have won it when they have been very poor in the league. It is a cup competition and we are good enough to beat anyone on our day or couple of days over two legs. Much better than Chelsea on both occasions that they won it. Regardless, it will be disappointing to lose the league with a whimper. We have to beat Aston Villa and Arsenal to have a decent chance.
The team looks flat and out of ideas
Hopefully Pep can regroup and push on
