Still don't think City are as great as everyone has been saying in preseason. Lots of possession around in the final third with not much end product. Though, if Jesus and Aguero can find their shooting boots they'll be lethal.

*City absolutely destroy newly promoted team in their first PL home fixture, only having to defend like one dangerous situation the entire match and waltzing to victory* "this team isn't that good guys"

Well if it's possible to describe a game with 78% possession as scraping a 2-0 win, that was it.

Decent enough win, even if it took long enough. Can still see the same problems as last season reappearing though.

Maybe they're just getting into it. But I personally didn't think they showed themselves to be nailed on title favourites today.

I don't think we learned anything from it except that there were fewer needlessly conceded 1 on 1s which were their undoing last season.

straight up brolic posted:did you really think the result was ever in doubt? it was totally pedestrian Decades of experience, not least last season, has proven today's game to be exactly the sort of game for City to throw away points. I have seen plenty of pepball games with 70+ percent possession and no goals and a sudden counterattack causing embarrassment.

4231 for Spurs today, excited to see Kyle Walker (peters) back out there. Waiting on Levy to announce Danny Rose-Peters.

I don't understand why Newcastle fans are booing Sissoko when none of them liked him when he played for them. and the club got a ton of money for him at that.

Alli is looking dire today. Also Spurs need better cover at LWB than Ben Davies. May as well spend some money if Rose isn't returning any time soon brasstassels fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Aug 13, 2017 |
