@Skrong- He's quality but a lot of Aguero's chances today were as a result of bad Tottenham defending. Aguero doesn't need help scoring so when you give him the opportunities he had today, you're asking for trouble. Until the Fazio sending off, Spurs were still in the game. City were defending as badly as Spurs were for the most part. 4-1 is a harsh scoreline on reflection of the whole game.
@Skrong you must be kidding !!! conceded 3 goals already what about tim howard record in world cup 2014 making 16 saves and scoring from his own box !!!! Besides Thibaut Courtois ,Claudio Bravo ,joe hart so on is much much better than loris
@oliverleo- Joe Hart? Courtois and Bravo yes. Howard no over-all but he's as good a pure shot stopper on his day but Hart? Today was the best he's played in 2 years and he still conceded.
Aguero is just too good. I hope he doesnt get too much injuries this season because if he plays like that every game he could be the best player this season
City have been the better side, but the ref is having a howler. Debatable 1st goal (Lamps in an offside position), and old man Lamps going swimming on this matchday.
Spurs have two weeks to work on counter attacking football. If they play like they did against Arsenal, but with better passing this has the potential to be a decent result.
@benforman- The thing is, Spurs didn't pass well against Arsenal because, for the most part, they weren't allowed to. City also press very well and high at home looking to win the ball back in the attacking third and I also doubt City will defend on the counter as bad as we did so I can't see the flow of the game being much different than that at the Emirates. Having said but Spurs have enough quality that they can exploit any space given and it's just a case of taking those chances. This will likely be akin to the Arsenal game, 30% or less posseion and a hell of a lot of defending but Pochettino is building a team both disciplined in defence and ruthless in attack so a point is not out of the question. Tactically, Pochettino sets up tight away from home so 3-0 likely wont happen. I'd look for Lamela to attack Mangala at every given opportunity cos as big a talent as Eliaquim is, he is still young and not yet used to the prem. I predict 2-1 to City and Dzeko MotM.
The ultimate proof that the likes of Kaboul and Fazio should never start over Vertonghen. Idem for Dembélé.
The best of Aguero.
Demichelis's fault was outside of the penalty aerea
Joe Hart is back?
Sergio Aguero is something else.

Soldado is gone by February.
Fazio just signed our death sentence.
Quality keeping today by both Hart and Lloris.
Hugo Lloris is the best goalkeeper in the Premier League and only behind Manuel Neuer, worldwide. An absolute pearl of a keeper.
@Skrong- I'd take Courtois, Cech, Begovic and Mignolet over Lloris.

@oliverleo i don't remember reading a more moronic statement than that
@oliverleo lmao you're a fool if you think any of those keepers are close to Lloris (except Courtois). Howard? Hart (he's been good today tho)? haha

ERIKSENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! YES <3
Aguero first goal at 4.0
2-2
2x0 City,Aguero 2 goals Aguero Man of the Match.
1-0 to City is my prediction, Aguero Man of the Match.
3-0 ??? Impossible.
@tabiqiqbal It is possible unless Spurs don't leave spaces for man city
It'll be very interesting fixture. Worth seeing.

@benforman Spurs may not have new players but they do play with a new ideology which is good.
