They pushed on and tried though which I like. Didn't really threaten aside from the Lamela chance. Citeh were solid. Still think Mendy is pants though.

Mendy, when he is on it, he is on it. But when he is not, he is deffo pants. Thought the Lamela chance was a bit of Karma for Spurs, that pitch was rubbish. Last time I saw a bobble like that was in Lady Penelope's hair.
 
City were certainly the better team but we come back better in the second half and looked better when Winks came on, Lamela's miss looked bad but the ball bobbled just before he hit it, with 3 of our best players out injured and a squad with not enough quality it was always going to be a tough game, City's defence made a good few mistakes tonight and they certainly are savvy on when to foul.

What's the score with Jesus? Doesn't seem relevant any more. You see city all the time, is he still doing it for you?

Feel a bit sorry for him, he is full of energy and does link up well but the chances of him starting before Aguero is nil. Very similar to Aguero in the sense that he needs a few chances before puttin one away.

Have to be honest looking at that Mendy incident (only just seen it now) - I don't think it's actually trying to hit him. He swings his arm in frustration, obviously felt like hitting him, but if he actually wanted to hit him he would have hit him. He looks where he is before swinging the arm. I don't know if they can really give retrospective punishment for swinging your arm as if to hit someone and not connecting.

That Lamela chance at the end as well, the ball was bobbling all the way on that knackered pitch so a bit of sympathy. He's scored plenty of goals lately so I'll let him off that one. I was only able to watch the first 40-odd minutes, so when I checked at the end I was expecting 3-0 or something. To only lose 1-0 means we must have shown something in the second half, although nothing to show for it obviously. Kane should have scored in the first half when his heavy touch allowed Ederson to get out to him. And I saw that clip of David Silva passing it back instead of just knocking into the net, that was bizarre. Like he didn't realise where he was.

Staying in the here and now. I didn't realise this well-used phrase meant two different things.
