Pochettino has Mourinhod this Spurs team. They just hoof it up to noone and are content with sitting back. Oh and Kane is a turnover machine, he plays like he has permanently stiff legs.

I was just going to say the same thing.

I actually agree with this. They have the best defence in the league, have a top attacking player in Kane and have possibly the best young English player in Alli(imo). They're squad is full of top quality young players. They play with a directness, but can also switch it up and play good possession game, full of pace and verve.

They also have the best manager in the league.

No chance of that happening.

if man u want poch they will get him. spurs have a better team than man u but man u are still a miles bigger club.

Mourinho'd lmao

Spurs have the best GD in the league, and play expansive, attacking football. In a huge match against a fellow title challenger like Man City at the Etihad, did you expect Tottenham to go balls out? Of course they're going to rely on their defense (the best in the league) and try and grind out a win, and that's what they did.

It was not even defending deep and counterattacking either. I wouldn't say that Spurs inability to get good opportunities wasn't even because a lack of trying, it was because Spurs didn't even play particularly well. Bit of a smash and grab tbh.

Eriksen is so clutch. Best player in the league.

Beat them at the Lane and then the wheels will start coming off as per

yea

He might the next chelz manager at this rate. What they had hoped when they appointed AvB as their manager, poch could well be that guy.
And Mourinho to United is a done deal imo. Jorge Mendes is besties with united. And they would have in all likeliness already agreed to it. Its just that he wouldnt be willing to take over midway.

Would have picked pochettino over moureen any day though.

So, from last 21 PL games, Pellegrini's #mcfc have 32 pts, only one more than LvG's #mufc (31pts) in same period. Strange times in Manchester

He looked like he was on the line even without Kompany there tbh.

BC criticizing Kompany when he just wanted to show Lamela's assist

Seriously though, the blame there is definitely on Otamendi. No need to step up there...there was no danger. To get nutmegged too

EDIT: Freeza is right too, he was even, even if you got rid of Kompany there

lol imagine Pep's city missing out on cl footy next season. Please make it happen. Go Soton! that 4th place is for yours to take.

Spurs

City's record against big teams

looking at the form of city I think Liverpool might have a chance in the cup final

Difference between cms and meters though

ohhh hold on mate, dont say such things so openly here on GL. Dont you know you are always supposed to downplay your team and discuss only your weaknesses and show that you are underdogs to a team like City. It doesnt matter if City have lost to Leicester, Spurs at home, even if they had Kompany, Silva and Auguero in the same team and even if your own team Liverpool beat them 4-1 at Etihad. *Shhhh be careful*

I don't have an axe to grind against anyone involved, but this would be a pretty hilarious twist in the biggest managerial appointment of the year.

Maybe Leicester could poach Aguero

Top 4 is set lads

before this matchday, I was actually thinking that ManUtd would close gap to top 4 so that was the reason for my bet that top 4 is not yet fixed and the gap could have been probably only 3 points. So looking at the fixture list, it is going to be almost impossible for any team from top 5 to top 7 to overtake any of the team in top 4.

Disagree, do you see anyone overcoming that 6 point gap with City? It's very hard to picture United, Liverpool, West Ham or Southampton winning 3 games more than them. I'd say City has a higher chance of winning the league than of missing out on the top 4.
