today, South Stand was rocking, some of the JA606 lads should try going to a game sometime.
Couldn`t fault any of the players today, and Jose 10/10, he still has what it takes to beat the very best. Spurs back four and the goalie were superb.
Lloris
Aurier
Toby
Sanchez
Tanganga
And what a debut for our new player Steven Begwijn, super strike for his goal. None of this nonsense of bedding in players like under the previous manager, where you never saw them for months. Straight in at the deep end. Brilliant.
Clean sheet today, two goals scored. Son had his clown shoes on a fair bit today, but fair play he scored again.
City for all their possession, other than the hitting of the post and the penalty miss, I thought never really looked that threatening. They were like Spurs of old, pass, pass, pass, and end up losing. I like how it is under Jose, less possession, defence playing better, then scoring and winning games. So that is five unbeaten now since the Liverpool game. Jose has the team on a roll now, and is gradually sorting out the mess he inherited.
Marks out of 10
Lloris 8
Aurier 8
Toby 8
Sanchez 8
Tanganga 8
Winks 7
Dele 6
Lo Celso 7
Bergwijn 8
Moura 6
Son 6
Jose 10
Unbeaten against City this season, and 100 per cent win record over City at the new stadium. Spurs are one of the few teams that no how to beat City on a fairly regular basis.
Now follow today up with a win over Southampton midweek, and it will have been the perfect week.
COYS
Great display at WHL from Spurs

How many times in the past 4 years have we had 60-70% possession in a game and had shots blocked and saved, only to go on and lose the games?
It was our day today and today could be a massive confidence booster for the team going forward

To true Genius, posession means nothing if there is no end product.

Rubbish. Do you actually watch him for the whole 90 minutes, or just jump on him when he makes one bad pass. Tanganga and Lloris made a right mess up of one City attack today, then Toby clears the ball straight to a City player. Don't see you calling them out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cos he does it once in a blue moon not every other time that he gets the ball
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanchez made one bad pass today, stop exaggerating. Toby did exactly the same.

I'd be very surprised if either Aurier or Sanchez are in Jose's first choice team next year. He will know they are liabilities but must make do at the moment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Both will be in his side, and rightly so. I don't get some of our supporters, the same ones that used to drool over cement boots when we were conceding four, five, six goals a game, yet constantly dig out two players when they are a big part of a defence that don't concede a lot.

Couldn't really buy many clean sheets before yeaterdays fluke tbh could we. Conceding so easily.
Aurier could be remain in Jose's team, he has frequently dropped Sanchez out though, think he knows he plays a lot better against smaller forwards where he cant get bullied.
We'll still be after a CB, RB and LB in the summer. Verts needs replacing and Aurier and Davies are our only right and left back.

Sanchez isn’t good enough to be starting

I guarantee that Spurs will not be buying a right back, or if they do, it will be cheapo as cover for Aurier. Aurier will be a mainstay in the side, as will Sanchez for two or three years under Jose. Toby will not go on for ever, so suspect Tanganga will partner Sanchez going forward. Good young partnership that should really blossom.

He was decent yesterday, other than one error, but Toby also made an error, as did Tangange, as did Lloris, so no big deal. If our supporters are going to have a pop at players, every time they make one mistake, we may as well all pack up watching football. Walker also made an error for one of our goals.

Aurier was decent tbf. He's been playing well for a few weeks now. But that challenge on Augero was ridiculous. Moving away from goal on his weaker foot - he just had to stay with him.
Sanchez was OK. Did a few things right, but my god. Two simple passes gifted City with two goal scoring opportunities. Any other day we could have been 4-0 down by half time.
Dunno what's up with him recently. He makes so many mistakes. He was absolutely shocking against Middlesborough.

Toby’s error wasn’t the same, he was running back and off balance. Sanchez had plenty of time and was in control of the ball and inexplicably gave it to a City player. Tanganga’s error wasn’t his, it was Lloris’, who for some bizarre reason came charging out of his goal when Tanganga was about to clear it.
Sanchez did ok other than that dodgy pass though, I won’t be too critical of him against such a quality attack.

The OP is demented, City were the better side.
