Premier League - Gameweek 12

[Sandikan]

It also reconfirms what a tough draw we've got in the League Cup QF. Spurs now done the double over City in the last month, as well as also winning 3-0 away at us earlier in the season.

You'd hope this time we wouldn't let their centre back sprint in from 70 yards away to deliver a tap in for a guy 3mins in, or that we don't have a harsh first half red card.
You also hope that having a manager with even GSCE level tactics will help.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Vicario's had a good game

 

[Berbaclass]

City losing their heads. Lovely.

 

[Zed is not dead]

Funny how Bernardo Silva all of a sudden decided to be a cnut since last year

 

[dinostar77]

Is the recent run because they lost rodri? Or is it the impending charges and maybe the players know they are going to be relegated in March (via points deduction), so have given up all together? Minds are wondering to new clubs?

Or something else?

 

[Berbaclass]

Almost any other 3-0 I'd agree, but Tottenham are so flimsy that I reckon a quick goal could make it very interesting.
Get 1 and they could get 3.

But will they get 1, they seem destined to have 30 chances and not score today.

No he's just desperate for them to score.

 

[Sandikan]

If the team falls apart due to the absence of one player, that tells a story.
I know de bruyne has been out as well but you have to expect that at his age and with his recent injury record.
Looking like pep isn’t the messiah after all.
He’ll crush the conference though.

It's when the league decide to administer their 25 point deduction THIS season that we'll all feel short changed! A season they're not winning it anyway.

 

[Bobski]

The Rodri thing is overplayed, yeah they miss him but De Bruyne and Silva dropping off with Gundogan nowhere near the player he was in his first run with City are equally important.

 

[Berbaclass]

Funny how Bernardo Silva all of a sudden decided to be a cnut since last year

He's always been a cnut

 

[Chipper]

Dominic Haaland Lewis.

 

[erikcred]

haha what?!

 

[Zed is not dead]

In fairness they were only able to sign players from themselves this summer. Had they moved early, I guess they could have signed Garcia off Girona before he went to Leverkusen and UEFA tightened the rules.

City sold Garcia to Barcelona in 2021

 

[Berbaclass]

Dominic Haaland Lewis.

Scandi Carroll

Today is just a weird day.

Like then, perfect KDB / Haaland interplay and Haaland denied.

On top of 6 or 7 other great chances

 

[Changeisgood]

Stay humble Haaland.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Funny how Bernardo Silva all of a sudden decided to be a cnut since last year

he's always been a bit of a snide cnut

 

[Sandikan]

KDB not worrying about a man being very obviously in the way of him going to kick with full power.

 

[Berbaclass]

City sold Garcia to Barcelona in 2021

Eric? His contract expired.

 

[Irrational.]

KdB has been an utter donkey this season.

 

[Mullet_Man]

Funny how Bernardo Silva all of a sudden decided to be a cnut since last year

He's been one since day 1, gets away with so many fouls which should be yellow cards. He's a rat

 

[RedRocket9908]

Scandi Carroll

Erling Weghorst

 

[DomesticTadpole]

KdB has been an utter donkey this season.

Injuries and Old Father Time taking their toll.

 

[DarkLord1984]

Or something else?

All of the above I'd say, plus injuries to KdB and an aging squad, also perhaps a lack of motivation after so much recent success may be starting to creep in.

 

[Zed is not dead]

haha what?!

Well Ive seen him play since Monaco and he was always kind of a good character.
But for a year or so now he’s started playing dirty, with fouls such as the one on Maddison a few minutes ago and showing bad temper with refs or opponents

 

[Berbaclass]

Erling Weghorst

Erling Zirkzee

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Thank goodness the Jack Grealish hype train has ended. Such an overrated player.

 

[Daydreamer]

A corner and a long shot

City’s equaliser was a corner, I’m pretty sure they still count. As do shots from outside the box.

It’s kinda funny that Arsenal were criticised for trying walk it in (to the point of becoming a meme) and then when we score from range are promptly told that isn’t football.

Arsenal had the better chances and higher xG while we had 11 men. We then shut up shop to try and hold on to a lead away at the Champions and that seems to have got your panties in a twist for some reason.

 

[Catt]

When are United playing City again?

 

[Zed is not dead]

Eric? His contract expired.

Yeah my bad, my point being Eric Garcia was a city player so it was doubtful they’d buy him back just a few years after letting him go

 

[SB16]

Viewers should be paid to watch City attack. Dreadful style of football.

 

[Chairman Steve]

Injuries and Father Time has claimed KDB.

 

[Berbaclass]

Yeah my bad, my point being Eric Garcia was a city player so it was doubtful they’d buy him back just a few years after letting him go

Maybe, it's possible he just wanted to return to Barca at the time like Pique did.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

I've always thought Foden and Bernardo Silva are two of the most overrated players I've seen in the PL for years. They're both slow, extremely one-footed and unable to grab the game by the scruff of the neck. Pep's extremely effective system (until this season) of suffocating the opposition by keeping them boxed into the final third made some of their players look better than they were. Same goes for Sterling under Pep.

 

[Judas]

Thank goodness the Jack Grealish hype train has ended. Such an overrated player.

Nope, just had pretty much everything that made him good drained out of him to fit in the City machine. He’d have been class and massively important at a team less robotic.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Thank goodness the Jack Grealish hype train has ended. Such an overrated player.

cut back on his right, fall over, cut back on his right, fall over, moans at ref, falls over

 

[didz]

City sold Garcia to Barcelona in 2021

You're thinking of Eric. I'm on about Alex.

 

[RedRocket9908]

When are United playing City again?

Sunday 15th December 16:30 (subject to Police approval)

 

[Drainy]

You played in a way that Stoke would have been proud of and Wenger would have whined about playing against.

You had two players who failed to make a fecking pass for fecks sake. You're Arsenal.

Spurs have shown more balls and pride in their football. You should be ashamed

 

[Sandikan]

Another 2 shots fired miles over the bar

 

[kidbob]

We were 10 men for most of the game. Missing our main player. When we were 11 men we were the better team (and winning). I'd like to see Spurs 10 men at 2-1. They'd be smashed playing this open

feck off Arteta was a coward against a shot City. Spurs have fecking gone for it.
