City's defence.

My word.

 

[Danger Zone]

City are horrendous at the back.

 

[Forth Bear]

What a goal that would have been from Kane.

 

[Smkz23]

Nice finish by Laporte but did Jesus handle it?

edit - he did

 

[WinkieWATP]

Great finish from a defender.

 

[Chainman]

Great game so far

 

[Pentasa]

No way Spurs can hold out for the whole 90mins, Clearly they are quite happy to sit in now that they've got a goal but the Spurs defence has been poor most of the season

I didn’t think he did. City are so dominant but at times the defending is terrible.

 

[Potnbear]

Tottenhams game plan making this a bore fest

 

[Clay Davis]

Ndombele is good. Was pretty close to being punted by Jose.

He does run like he smokes 60 a day though

 

[Henry Hill]

2 mins injury time
The VAR check took that alone

 

[Balogun1]

Tottenhams game plan making this a bore fest

God they are awful to watch. I have no time for man city but hopefully they win. Spurs approach is not good for football.

 

[gersfanal]

Clear pen, even the Brighton player knew it

Horrendous by the ref even after looking at the screen

Brighton Player got the ball AND it was another Grealish dive.

Criminal that Man City haven't spent some serious cash on a striker in the past couple seasons.

I genuinely think Morelos would fit right into their system and score a barrow load . It astonished me that no English club took him in the summer . Their loss

According to Trevor Sinclair they asked about Lukaku in the summer but Inter wanted more than they were willing to pay.

I think the issue so far tonight is more their way of overpassing and going back and forth, not the fault of the striker.

Spurs are playing ten in defence and city’s slow movement of the ball is playing into their hands.

Morelos wouldn’t get near Man City’s Starting 11 let’s be honest. On current form I doubt any premier league would take him.

 

[ssblue]

2 nil Spurs.

Class Mourinho.

 

[Danger Zone]

Why is Ederson racing off his line again there?

 

[DoubleWhopper]

2-0 Spurs.

Could be their year tbh

 

[Smkz23]

2-0 Spurs, good ball from Kane

 

[Jjbscotty]

Man City are pish.

 

[Madjid Moments]

City getting pumped. Yassssssss.

 

[Pentasa]

Proper smash and grab performance from Spurs so far

 

[top_cat]

Spurs, this year? I'm starting to believe!

 

[WinkieWATP]

2-0 and Spurs could be serious title challengers

 

[DoubleWhopper]

City are 10th with a negative goal difference...

Amazing Pep is under no pressure

 

[Jjbscotty]

Would love it if that happend after the amount of pundits saying mourinho is finished.

 

[Henry Hill]

And he must’ve been promised Messi/£200m in the summer

 

[Pentasa]

Mum's side of the family are all Spurs season ticket holders, So a nice Rangers / Spurs League winners would be very nice indeed

 

[ross89harr]

Gary Neville doesn't like Spurs much does he? Constantly blowing smoke up Citeh’s @rse too IMO.

 

[WinkieWATP]

City have spent hundreds of millions on their defence and never really improved in that area is quite incredible

 

[Wazza]

Kane side by side with Lewandowski for me now. Really wouldn’t be surprised if he wound up at Real Madrid next season, he’s immense.

 

[Teddyjohn]

With the size of the rebuilding job needed I find it slightly bizarre Guardiola has signed the contract extension - and even more so that he was even offered one.

 

[Forth Bear]

Kane has absolutely dominated Man City's defence tonight.

 

[Leo_Ger]

No way Spurs can hold out for the whole 90mins, Clearly they are quite happy to sit in now that they've got a goal but the Spurs defence has been poor most of the season

Horrendous shout tbf.

Spurs have the joint lowest goals against in the EPL.

 

[petric]

Spurs looking like a proper Jose side. And that's with; prone to a blunder Llrois, Dier and defensively poor Aurier all in the back 5.

No doubt Danger Zone will be along soon to tell us how overrated Kane is, or how many of his goals are actually penalties.

 

[Danger Zone]

It makes no sense to me, he looks done there. They haven’t replaced Silva and they look impotent without Agüero, Jesus isn’t good enough.

Great win for Spurs though.

Good game Dier today mind, Mourinho might just be exactly what he needs.

 

[Earl of Leven]

So Pep staying to build a second world class team? Is he aye? Aye?

(when was first btw?)

 

[Blueranger45]

that was pretty much the perfect Jose game, sitting in and finishing clinically on the break

did get the break a few times but City should really be doing much better with that team they have and the money they have to improve things. Always said I think Ederson is a weak point of their team, he's a guy who used to play as an outfield one and he obviously fancies himself with his feet, unfortunately he likes to come out a bit too much and teams know about it

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

City look a shadow of the team from 2 years ago. Not sure if more money will fix that team, it looks like the players need a fresh change of management. It isn’t a surprise really as Pep runs his players into the ground and demands so much from them.

 

[Balogun1]

Unsurprisingly when they have eleven men behind the ball for the bulk of the game. Horrific to watch.

He has the players to rotate more than any other side in the league though.

 

[Wazza]

Wonder if Zlatan would have a few month at Spurs in Jan.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Nice one, José.

Don't mind Mourinho or Tottenham. Hopefully they challenge right to the wire and it would be great to see them win it.

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

It’s still demanding on the players whether they start or not. His training sessions along with the tactical demands he expects of his players is crazy.

There recruitment over the past few years hasn’t helped either. Not many signings have proved to be great buys. Even B Silva looks a different player to 2 years ago. Unrecognisable.

 

[WinkieWATP]

I had £20 on Spurs and over 2.5.

Taking it not the corner at 2-0 on 86 mins pissed me off no end

I’d say Klopp sides have more of a burn out risk. Far greater physical demands than Guardiola sides. His counter pressing style has been shown to burn players out after 3-4 seasons, while arguably Guardiola’s sides make the ball do more of the work.
