Would love a Riyad hattrick tonight.

Mhh, not sure tbh. But it's somewhat embarrassing. People are watching this regardless its not like there's competition.

That is such a poor penalty from Aguero. 

 

Not only is it not in the corner, not struck firmly and at the perfect height for the keeper, he telegraphed which way he was going to kick it.

 

The BBC live text described it as a “brilliant save”. Had he not saved it it would have been an absolute shocker.

Pretty much. Surprisingly poor. Expect him to find a corner.

Imagine the meltdown on the ManCity forum if Riyad took it.

 

Edit: I'm having a hard time recognizing Mahrez. He plays extremely safe and almost never tries to take on his FB.

If Spurs lose this, Jenas will blame the psychological damage of that decision

[trabuch]

Spurs are running on adrenaline at the moment. I expect them to tire.

It depends on the tactics from Pep. 

 

He often plays like that when the instruction is safety first.

Dele dive.

Most definitely. That and sticking out wide, systematically hugging the touch line. I'm also noticing the lack of support when he gets the ball.

[RowlattsFox]

I don't think it was a penalty, they are basically saying defenders cannot make attempts to block unless they stood directly in front of the striker because it's impossible to slide Infront without your arms being in the air somewhere. But it's Rose and Spurs so **** em.

Almost the entire Man City team is under orders to hoist it back to the centre backs when they're under pressure, they always do it. They rarely turn out unless they're in real space.

it’s why he’s started him tonight. man city are perfectly happy with 0-0 and riyad is much better defensively than sane. 

 

if they go behind or need to go much more attacking, they can bring sane on. 

[ScouseFox]

kane swinging elbows around like nobody’s business

[Nalis]

Jenas is going full Jamie Carragher here.

[Unabomber]

Jenas arguing that pen was mental. Always a pen with VAR. Shame Aguero missed

Fernandino has properly wound him up

[Finnegan]

Aguero has been shit mind. Needs to give his head a wobble.

One of the areas he has massively improved on, we certainly wouldn’t be saying Riyad was in the team for his defensive responsibility a few years ago

He ran and dropped back more than he was given credit for. He was just shit at defending.

[the fox]

Pep refuses to change his tactics again. Sigh. He will not win the CL playing like that.

[HybridFox]

BT with their total disregard for their "expert referee" again. What's the point of hiring him if you ain't gonna listen to someone more qualified!

All true, terrible penalty, maybe he thought i'll telegraph this so much the goalkeeper will think i'm bluffing..

[deejdeej]

Definitely a penalty. Didn't see a thing before the replays though! 

 

Man city can be equally as boring as they can be brilliant at times.
