Guardiola is not a good manager in the CL Got it badly wrong tonight like. With the quality of Bernardo missing and the other options they have to come in, for him to play Mahrez, Delph & Gundogan without bringing in Sane or KDB from the start or earlier in the game made them look toothless. Mahrez is nowhere near the player he was for that one season, and Gundogan is never going to offer the same attacking quality as KDB against high level opposition. Of course they've a good squad and need to use it in this period particularly, but to miss out on an away goal could come back to haunt them, and now they will need to throw everything they have at Spurs in an already busy period. Could have been managed better imo.

It was because Delph was screaming in Kane's face. Literally every other manager would have done the same. I missed that. It looked like Delph had apologised to me. Anyhow, pleased there's been a goal either way tbh, pretty dross game.

Ridiculous that Pochettino is being so vocal to Delph here. He literally done fuck all wrong, it was Kane's fault if anything. Surely he shouldn't be allowed to be constantly in the opponents ear from the touchline?

Spurs - City? It really is. Thoroughly disappointing.

Citeh missing Bernardo here like. Much better than Mahrez. Could certainly use the quality of De Bruyne on there too, little bit flat by their standards imo.

I reckon a canny few players will have loved and been excited about the game on the journey from Sunday league, through the youth ranks into the professional level, where they then find the destination leaves a lot to be desired. In which case all that's really left is the wage packet leading to it being perceived as any other job would be.

How on earth did he even know he was being closed down man

It's just nice to have a player on our hands who you look at and see potential that is hard to put a ceiling on. That element of the unknown which makes you that bit more excited before kick-off. He's had good games and some pretty ineffective games thus far; he's taken the game to opponents and created situations that have lead to goals, and he's also lost the ball and gave opportunities for the opposition to score. Whilst I'm pretty certain we haven't seen him at his attacking best yet (relative to his high technical ability and attacking proficiency), I think perhaps just as importantly we have seen a determined, willing and brave player not at all overawed by his new environment, who I believe when settled, could set this place alight.

They'll surely find a way around the transfer ban - delay it or something. Could see Kenedy going to a Serie A club.

Lovely stuff. Watford deserved that having come back from 2 down - Wolves ran out of Galp Energia.

Deulofeu is class like, quality goal. Love Deeney’s celebration after his equaliser too. Would love a Watford win.

Probably our best player yesterday I thought, especially in the first half he was winning the ball back often. Certainly deserves his place in the 11, miles ahead of the other 3 on current form.

So unbelievably irrelevant what they think of him They'll do well if they have anyone with half of his ability in the next 5 years.

I thought the same I hope I'm not beginning to jinx shite performances by the player used in the graphic. Might have to just start using Joselu in them all.

Very good point KI, if it wasn’t for his temperament, we’d have never even been close to being lucky enough to enjoy his brilliance here. He’d have spent his career playing in teams with players his talent warrants. Run out of words for him I do.

Hatem speaking of intuition, instinct & playing with the heart rather than the head much alike Charles Dickens in Hard Times. My favourite player to ever play in England, simple as that really. I prefer watching him over any of the Premier League greats. That’s delusionally ridiculous I didn't by any means say the best or most successful mate, he's far from it. But in terms of players I find a sheer joy to behold, and who have the talent and ability to make professional footballers look like Sunday league players, there's not many more to have played in England that can do what Hatem could/can. La Liga sure, but not the PL.

How's that? A stadium is a lot more about just state of the art facilities and bloody microbrewery's. It's got absolute nothing on the likes of the Westfalenstadion, San Siro, Old Trafford and many, many others. Give it 20 or 30 years to cultivate a renowned atmosphere & historical nights in the world's largest competitions and then we can maybe talk about it in the same conversation as football's greatest homes.

Spurs gan full Americana for this opening

Been making a few football related graphic illustrations for a potential job... thought this one may be of interest to the Zidane admirers on here

Burgess ushering McGeady away from the ref there has likely kept Sunderland playing with 11 men. Very honourable stuff from him given the circumstances.

Home one looks like a default football manager kit when you haven't downloaded the patches.

Hopefully some of them can go back and assist with the clean up after the game as a gesture of respect - otherwise, little bit shite that tbh; not saying our fans en masse wouldn't cause the same mess, but you hope there's no tourists arriving in London for the first time today to visit The Royal Mews and The Mall and end up seeing this.
