***Spurs v Champions Official Match Thread***

We have the skill, we have the players….what’s missing is drive, go at them ffs, if it doesn’t work go at them again and again and again until it does. They are just sitting waiting for us to fuck up and they’re on us like a ton of bricks. This is painful to watch. We have to WIN this game.

Unless the genius changes it, we are not winning this game.

There is a nice gap between their four pressing players and their defence and we have got into that gap a handful of times with Bernie mostly and it breaks down every time, the only player prepared to shoot is Mahrez. I think Bernie has to come off for Kev and I’d like to see Rico drive at them a bit more.

Pep is overkill with his tactics. With the players we have if we ran at them and made a few slide passes we'd score. This season is becoming painful.

COME ON CITY!!!!

[Woodyblue]

What I cannot understand is that surely players, coaching staff, Pep watch previous games see Haaland running through the middle and think we need to target that run more but we continue with the same fucking wide passes every week

I honestly don’t think he wanted him and it was a signing made by the club, not Pep.

[PeterParker]

Wonder who is gonna come on in the 85th minute

No way on earth do we sign anyone pep does not want. What is baffling is that he continues to keep us starving Haaland

There may well be an element of truth in that. We are not really playing to his strengths and that's the crying shame. Imagine if we did gear up to supply him, like Spurs do for Kane etc, then how many more would he score. I feel like he's actually played within himself so far, yet is still breaking records

[nottsblue]

KDB coming on.
My guess is for Alvarez

That is because he is not normal in his head, mate.
After 7 years with him I can’t find another answer for his tactical weirdness.

Tintin on Riyad off.

I agree with this, but Mahrez is coming off not Bernardo

[Kippax Sean]

Right ginger get the ball to the strikers.

[blues2win]

Bernardo going on the Right. Hopefully Tintin can find Haaland’s runs.

Makes me wonder why that was not thought of from the start

[PaulieIrish]

Ake having a great game

[blues2win]

FFS,

[nottsblue]

KDB the first one to play a forward pass to Haaland

We are screwed without him. The others just don't have the vision or balls to attempt it

[mr_nool]

Nice try. Spurs lucky there.
