Modric was verry good today was very impressed, bale was good too. Lennon has come bk just in time too!
agreed on the city side of it I liked De Jong, Johnson, Kompany... Tevez was ok ade was trying but not having any brilliant moments Barry was shite
you dont have that link/balance from defence to attack, thats why tevez was dropping deep but stll no link up

you are playing with 2 teams

gk, 4 def and 2dm

2 wingers and 2 strikers. tevez is trying to link up the cm to the attack but it just aint working.

You need a better cm and better wingers

City were so poor, did they know they had to win to get 4th because they didn't play like it. Maybe the players are scared they will be replaced in the Summer if they won. :p

Spurs had all of the better chances in the game...hardly anything from City besides 12 offsides for Adebayor. Defoe and Lennon were rubbish as well, hardly seen either of them.

Huddlestone should have been sent off for that stamp.

agree on the CM... and we do need some more wingers, But Jihnson is great, and SWP ain't shabby either, it's on the left that we are light (though adams can play there.... need a top left winger. (bellamy has been great but he can't play every game anymore)Ireland can play in that role but has had a bad season injury wise and when he played he wasn't particularly good. we need a top class playmaker....

i like tevez, he played well tonight but no one else was on his level.

spurs have had a fantastic defence lately, it's helped them immensely in picking up the points

They didn't create any clear opportunities, just long shots and half chances from corners. Not good enough! Spurs had the ball flying across the goal quite a few times and Fulop made three cracking saves, one from each of the strikers.

Gomes made at least two great saves too.... saying they were poor after a match like that is crazy... Both teams went completely for it and gave it all... neither side was 'poor'

To be honest, I almost kinda agree with flakbaby. It's not that I think City were poor, I just think they didn't show enough bottle. This was like a Champions League play off and City did not keep going at it. They had the home advantage too but that counted for nothing. It just looked like it meant more to Spurs. Having said all that, Spurs started off with the psychological advantage - they didn't HAVE to win.

I knew a boy who had his eyebrow like that. In 1993.

I can see what you were saying.... but poor is completely off... we had some great spells of pressure especially in the first half.... but we looked more laboured in the 2nd half.... The bottle thing sounded fair too... Poor doesn't
