Tottenham with 3 shots on target. City with 3 shots on target.

Look at how Pep is thrashing Pochettino.

Aww, tip to be a true analyst: just look at the shots on target.

Repugnant.

HanksAnuku:
Is this a must win game?

Is Tottenham not deadly?

Who is playing LB today?

Dodonyo!

Of course this, just like you, did not age well

airmark:
He took a ucl defending Champion in Bayern Munich and crashed them out 3 times, despite having world cup winners.

He took a ucl semifinalist in man city and crashed them out consecutively 3 times, not reaching semifinals again, despite spending over 600m.

He's Fraudiola.

If he gets to the semis and not the finals. You will say Pellegrini already did it. If he gets to the finals and wins it, "600M squad" will be your response. Your arguments are hackneyed and overplayed.

biomustry:
Football fans: Poch doesn’t spend? So? He should be winning trophies. Fraud.

Also fans: Our manager needs to be backed in the market so we can win.

Also fans: Pep is a fraud for spending to win.

Also fans: Stupid, stingy Wenger. Expecting to compete without spending!
Copied

They keep switching sides like cassette tapes.

Conte "needed" backing.

Pep is a fraud "he only wins when backed".

Ok tiny prick battyboi...

Savage. Evil. Wicked. Guy you are not nice oh.

Let me say it for you, since no one else will.

diggz:
Likes and shares is the reason why you want to cry tonight,ELRUDITOR?

Dodoyo....you always sound like a frustrated little b1tch with a boys pen1s and over bloated inferiority complex which you have come to mistake for intelligence.

Bladdy b@tty Boy! no one gives a fvck if city won the game or not.....they got knocked out as desired by many, chew on your big fat L, ozwor!

This gets an E for effort even though, somehow, you managed to not speak English whilst trying to.

LoRdCaT:
I am waiting for him to eat his hands when Pep also loses the league

Then beg United to at least get a draw at OT. We need them to come out and defend their ground not park the bus.

HanksAnuku:
Oh but right use of VAR knocked out Swansea, not Aguero offside goal

Swansea were hard done by. I have said so adnauseam. If Aguero's goal was rightly ruled off..the game would have continued still.

airmark:
OK.

If you think I will argue with you before you devour your hand, you on a long thing.

A mistake cannot count as such if it is not directly responsible for the failure of a said action.

What action directly led to City's failure? Wrong use of VAR. End. Of. Story.

Cheers.

LoRdCaT:
Dude I wasn't late to any party, I have been reading all the okpata you have been yanning. You have been clutching at straws because just like leyqut.e says, you are gladly stuck in your Pep induced genjutsu. No example you give can justify the trash you have been typing. Ripped apart is when a team destroys the other with loads of goals and the other team cannot respond. PERIOD!

It appears you understand okpata and not English. If you think there is a fixated use of language then you should select people you want to engage as I don't drive on your own limited lane.

Cheers.

Leyqute:
Make I just drop this here

And the foolish Sheikh did not sack Pep to hire Moyes? United did not keep Moyes? Add all the United managers after Fergie, is their trophy hall, points total better than Pep's in City compared to theirs in United?

Unlimited22:
Bros na wa o. Would VAR have mattered had Laporte not dashed Son 2 goals, according to you when you said individual mistakes helped Spurs score?

I didn't say it helped spurs. I only used it to explain why City conceded. At 4-2 City were going through so I can't blame Laporte anymore.

Unlimited22:
Eruditor can you see this?

Bro Unlimited22, Llorente's goal should not have stood. Many referees have come out to say so. cakir or whatever his name is even said he made his decision on the angle they showed him which was the wrong angle to use.

Tottenham have qualified but that point is not debatable.

diggz:
Congrats then....city are finally through to the next round

Won the GAME. Not the "TIE". I understand there are 11 other people who can't tell words apart and I wager all will be shekpites.

LoRdCaT:
Do you know what being ripped apart means at all? How is 4-3 being ripped apart? Tottenham matched man city. If Tottenham had been ripped apart, Man city would have qualified.

You are always slow and late to the party. Don't worry I already gave an example of a game that even ended 0-0 but one team was adjudged to have ripped the other team apart.

airmark:
Raumdeuter, you've been silent on Laporte's knocking man city out.

Wrong use of VAR knocked Man City out not Laporte.

biomustry:
Anyone calling Pep Guardiola a fraud presumably considers all coaches fraud too. Pep was one of best players of his generation, which is often overlooked. Now he's the world’s best coach. He has revolutionised football and won more than anyone in past decade.

The Ajax coach said so.

aliondo:
K.D just cooking Beverley

He is being aggressive and not settling.

Segedinho:
But prior 2 the match ..nobody was as boastful n confident 2 d extent of saying d only way ajax will go tru was 4 angels 2 come down....if I were 2 place a bet on which team 2 go tru..I would have chosen man City but spurs are not push over either..
I understand d fact dat u wanted man City 2 go tru but d way u painted it ..it was as if man City was goin 2 rip dem apart just like dat without a fight....

Man city ripped them apart. Simple.

Tottenham caught breaks fortuitously. It happens. Moving on.

Greatihex:
var did not rule out any goal, instead var made there was no ojoro goal for anybody.

VAR only made sure there was no ojoro for anybody.

VAR was wrong for Llorente, and even if it was right for Sterling how does that even out? It is not even important. City won the game.

Greatihex:
so it is man city goals that did not come as a result of uncharacteristic mistakes devoid of tactics?




Seems like you only watched one team.

Man City did not even score any goals. Tottenham did all the scoring for both teams. As if you don't know the difference between pressing for a team to make mistakes and capitalising on a mistake that nobody thought Laporte would make, twice.

Greatihex:
goodness me!!!!


This guy is dumber than i thought. I can't believe i am reading this bullshit!!!!!!

I can't even believe you can read.

Greatihex:
Mehn!! This one wey God don dey enter am. Your pillow case don suffer be that

I thought you are an atheist

Can you bring any post where I stated I was an atheist or are you pulling more BS outta thin air per usual?

Segedinho:
Like humiliating nd giving them them the worst beating?

When Ajax beat RM 4-1 they did not play better than City did yesterday. Only difference is RM did not convert their own glaring chances.

If you could think you would know there is such a thing as a one-sided draw game. For instance, United fans will always point to the 2005 FA Cup final that Arsenal won on penalties, yet United completely dominated.

Amoto94:
Credits to Spurs and Pochettino for their performance last night, over two games they were the better side.
Having said the above it is important to state why Guardiola lost the game.
When I saw the lineup and Gundogan deployed as holding midfielder instead of Fernandinho I said to a friend that Pep has lost the game because Gundogan is not suitable to that role as he is more of a box-to-box midfielder and lacks the positional discipline to play in that role. In the end, it proved costly.
Dropping Sane for Bernardo Silva was another blunder Sane's pace would've made it difficult for Spurs fullbacks does making Son and Moura focus on tracking the runs of Sterling and Sane.
Stones should have played ahead of Kompany or Laporte I don't know if he was injured but his recovery speed and long-passing skill are better than those of the mentioned players.


In the end, overconfidence killed Pep and Man City, not VAR or luck.
Eruditor you said no excuses last week but this week you are making silly excuses, isn't this doublespeak?

I don't know what it is with people's penchant to quote me for quoting sake. Show me one excuse I have made or don't you know what an excuse is?

I don't know how people don't see how stupid it is to say somebody got something wrong in a game they won. It is just so daft when it is not stupid.

And most of the fluff you have up there is revisionist nonsense. City scored 5 goals or 4 if you are being exacting. That is what a manager sets up to do. If his best CB makes mistakes it is what it is. I don't know how you don't see that telling a manager not to start his best CB in a key game is dumb.

larride:
Which one is Llorente handball again? Laporte mistakes

Okay. Let’s go with your criteria of what being outplayed is.

Let me help you with the little stats I can gather

Attempt on goal:
City - 8, Spurs - 6

Attempt off goal:
City - 8, Spurs - 3

Blocked shot:
City - 4, Spurs - 2

Corner kick:
City - 4, Spurs - 3

Freekick
City - 15, Spurs - 11

Goalkeeper saves:
City - 3, Spurs - 4

Offside:
City - 3, Spurs - 2

Throw in:
City - 20, Spurs - 16

Foul:
City - 8, Spurs - 13

You can bring your own stats also. Let’s see how City demolished Spurs according to you.

Where is possession? Shots at goal? Chances created?

You said which one is Llorente hand ball again? Won't it COUNT as shot on target? Lol. Will they count Raheem's own?

diggz:
Ogbeni still busy dey blow grammar upandan...e even don say him go use epistles use bet say city go win ucl next season....mscheeeeew

Can you bring any post where I said I will eat my hand should City not qualify past Tottenham?

larride:
So out of all these instance you listed, show me the one that applied to the City v Spurs match.

What are the other metrics that determine being outplayed? Possession?

Danny Rose free kick. Shot on target. Laporte mistake(s). 2 shots on target. Llorente Handball. Shot on target. Eriksen from almost centre circle. Shot on target. Raheem goal..offisde. No shot on target. Etc

What determines being outplayed? Lol.

Eye test. Chances created. Clear cut chances created. Possession in key areas. Corners. Final 3rd presence. Blocks by defenders and saves by opposing keeper. Being taken off ones stride. Forced to kick the ball into row Z at almost every opportunity. Shots at goal etc etc.

diggz:
Simply because I don't agree with you...doesn't make my position hate driven. You are way too emotional man, but Las Las...you go dey alright.

LOL @emotional.

All these blackmail because I would not baulk.

larride:
I should describe the 3 goals for you?

So if people are talking about Messi's brilliance they will also mention the 2nd goal against De Gea?

So what point are you trying to make? Anybody can have 3 goals. The question is HOW did they come about?

larride:
That’s why I’m asking you if you watch the match.

Did any City shot hit the post yesterday?

Did any City player round the keeper and misses the post?

So I ask again how is 8-6 goal on target means the team that had 6 goal on target was demolished? How?

Leave that canopy and look for good TV to buy.

Don't worry about the TV I use. I am good trust me. If a Spurs player hits a cross from a dead ball and Ederson holds it, it is a shot on target as long as it was in the direction of the post. If a player uses his hand to push a ball into the post, it is a shot on target. If a defender clears his lines wrongly and the ball falls to a striker who shoots, it is a shot on target.

So dumbing down an argument to 8-6 shots on target is dumb. There are many other metrics to determine being outplayed right?

larride:
You are saying rubbish. Spurs scored 3 goals. 3.

Stop saying rubbish.

The handle of a United fan but the brain of a Shekpite.

What are the 3 goals? Describe them.
