Must admit Spurs are a good side to watch. Quick incisive passing, often with an end product ie : createa a Chance or Goal.
We just seem to fuck about with the Ball, for the sake of fucking about with the Ball with no end product. Pass + pass + pass + to the side pass, to the back pass. Get to the edge of the opponents penalty area Pass back. Liverpool scored directly from our free kick. I have seen us concede goals directly from our own corners. It is very boring to watch. When we lose the Ball opponents just break at speed on the counter and usually score. As I said earlier,6 times we have conceded this season from opponents first shot on our goal,that is a remarkable statistic.
Surely Guardiola can see how slow, and boring our football is to watch. Yet there has been nothing changed fundamentally exccept the Goal keeper since our first 10 games.
I also think the return of YaYa to our side has actually compounded matters. It is not his fault he has become old, and slow. which reflects on City we play even slower as YaYa looks for safer options, like passing back instead of making gut busting runs forward .It is the manager fault for picking him. He should now be doing 10 minutes from the bench to kill games off.
We look old and stale. Now would be an ideal opportunity to blood a few of our youngsters in the Premier League over the next few weeks. We couldn’t do much worse, We carry on as were then in my opinion top 4 will be gone.
