They do very little but work hard to create chances. By comparison we struggle to create a thing with 70% of possession. It's really fucking annoying how shit we are up top.

Spurs looking really good at the moment. Passing isn't crisp but there movement is impressive.

Playing 3 at the back with one of the 3 a CM who is really getting forward. Rose seems to be coming in central and causing trouble. They always seem to have numbers forward and don't look exposed at the back. Look miles better than us and there is no reason for it

Looks like Kieran Trippier is the Spuds creative main man. Not seen them, but talkshite were positively wanking over his passes for the Kane goals.

Missing Walker and Vertongen has not weakened them and Trippier with 2 assists for Kane.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

Its depressing.

If PEP does not drop that serbian cunt from the team Im going to go mental - how any manager can play that cunt (Add clichy to this) on a game to game basis is beyond me,

HIS FUCKIGN FAULT we lost yesterday as has been the case in another game or 2.

We don't have any other decent options. Our transfers have been proper shit. Everyone knew we were crying out for new full backs. This area is a massive cock up in terms of signings.

Sagna could play that role but that would leave us short on RBs now that Maffeo has been given some game time elsewhere.

One decent full back who's 31. That's exactly my point...

Yes, I'm guessing Mr So-so has been holding Sagna (and Clichy) back for the difficult Burnley game.

Giroud does an on-side Mhkititittariun from twelve yards out.

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.

Just watching the Boro game vs Leicester.

Points of interest.

1. Madley is a biased cheating ref . HTF he cannot give fouls against Boro and let Mahrez off with dive into a player ( and get the foul !). Madley has no idea about football

2. Boro have a bloody fast, strong right winger who isn't afraid of getting to the line ( very impressed against the Rags too ).

3. All teams in the PL play from the back , it isn't a PEP invention.
