Hi everyone today we are here to talk about the match between Tottenham and Manchester City that was played out on Wembley this monday.
It was a match that saw an unusual low number of completed passes from both clubs and that's whar you get from playing on a stadium used for an american football game the previous day, the pitch had damage you rarely pretty much never see.
Both teams had significant players of their iddeal starting XI on the bench still recovering from injuries.
Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen for the Spurs and Kevin De Bruyne for Manchester City.
Right out of the gate City scored on an weird play I still don't know wgat Trippier was doing when that ball was coming down and then he gave Sterling way too much room to find Mahrez penetrating the box and scoring the only goal of the match, the only other real scoring chance in the first half came when Tottenham took advantage of a City side that was positioned really high up the pitch, Lamela got the ball with plenty of space and found Harry Kane wide open and he couldn't quite control the ball it got away from him and that was pretty much all the action for the first half.
The game seemed to be in control for Guardiola's men with his side keeping Tottenham with less than a handful of total attempts through a good part of the second half.
After Harry Winks came in midway through the second half the Spurs became a little more dynamic and with Alli and Eriksen coming in a little bit later on Tottenham improved their play, Dr Bruyne looked put of sync and lost a ball in his own area which created an opportunity for Tottrnham but their best chance came when they recovered the ball with a City defense that wasn't set and Alli fpund a great pass to Lamela that missed a wide open shot and that was the game.
Now assessing a couple of individual topics regarding the Spurs.
With Sissoko, Dier and Dembele all starting the match, the Spurs become a much more physical side.
Lucas struggled to find his way out wide in the left, his natural position is on the right.
Trippier's error obviously cost them the game but there was pretty much no action on the other side, Ben Davies was no where to be found.
I'll see you all later
