Not sure what game some people watched but Doku did fuck all. If sprinting into space and dribbling the ball out for a goal kick or smashing it into the first defender is a world class performance then wilfred zaha is the best winger in the world

Yeah, get the highest match rating of any player from Opta by doing “fuck all”.

He’s going to be a better player but the praise for this performance reminds me a lot of Adama Traore’s early Wolves days. He was absolutely unplayable and a menace every time he stepped on the pitch, and finished the season with 1 goal and 3 assists.

A draw at the Etihad is always a good result

Happily take a draw poor game from most of our players so flat upfront today and an uncharacteristic poor performance from Ali

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

He always has a mare against city

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

We are so wasteful its ridiculous. Shit performances all around and we got no subs. In January transfer window, we need someone that is at least one tailnaol worth of KDB.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Unironically hilarious

Pretty dull match but fair result for both. Both teams played quite defensive instead of going for goals.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Matip has to be one of the most underrated PL defenders in the last 10 years

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I'm a big fan. A great defender and also I love the way he takes the game on with his runs down the middle.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Matip is the closest I see to What Stones does for us. If he played for us he would've been insane next to Rodri in my eyes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

A good result considering the early kick off post an international break.

Loved the fight from us.. Some silly moments and few poor passes in final 3rd but this team is cooking..!!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (9 children)

This game told me one thing -

The title was there for the taking for Spurs but alas injuries happened. Nobody comes close to pre-injury Spurs with the style and effectiveness that Spurs played with.

Such a shame really.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Title there for the taking? Will be lucky to finish in the top 4

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I am sure you could have found another way to "spurs" it up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Spurs were never going to win the title. Anybody who thought they would was just lying to themselves.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

We'll be telling our grandkids about those eight games.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It’s because you have bad squad depth. Which is your own fault.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Lol the belief in your squad went quick

Liverpool got fucking lucky. Loved how Liverpool fans were hyping their players scoring against trash teams during the break, lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

liverpool lucky? lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I guess you too got fucking lucky too, with the 115 charges sticking up your ass. I'm surprised you guys can play well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You ok hun? Xx

People are so desperate for a narrative on the Doku Trent battle when in truth Trent was fine and Doku made a few nice twist and turns without much end product.

Bore off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why are so many people complaining about City players “faking” international duty injuries. I thought this sub collectively agreed that players are being played way too many games. Why tf do you care if they skip a friendly all of a sudden

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

this might be the worst argument I’ve seen since “if global warming is real, why is it snowing” , of course people would care that their opponents are skipping games days before playing them???

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

funny thing everyones like haaland could have helped his country qualify, cos of the playoff system he couldn't affect shit in any way

Doku is a monster 1v1, so how come there were so many instances (especially at the end) where Liverpool allowed City players time to ping him diagonally? That didn’t make sense to me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Can't double up on everyone as the other attackers are also immense.

Trent and Matip handled him well though tbf.

Puttting this game after the international break on a 12:30 ko is fucking criminal. Both teams far from their best

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm glad Haaland's ankle healed in time for him to score against us and break another record.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

His mechanic worked overtime.

Good result for us tbh, didn’t feel like we were gonna get anything from the game and probably deservedly so. We just looked so disjointed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Pep made no subs. Why not give someone like Kalvin Philips a chance?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

He's not good enough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

because we weren't up 4 nil, he may have gotten a cameo if that was the case lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Alvarez was absolutely woeful all game. Complete luxury player who ended at least three City attacks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That incredible run from Doku for Alvarez to totally fluff it was painful

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For once the ref wasn't the talking point of the game. How refreshing
