Aye, you'd think he'd be able to coach and improve the already quality expensive players he's got instead of throwing money at it.

This. The defence are continually exposed by Pep’s tactics. Too much space as the midfield are caught forward. Things have to change or it’s going to be a repeat of last year.

Don't think they can afford Vardy.

Well yes, because it's been talked about all weekend since there were other similar incidents. Enough is enough really.

dont think he plays centre half
He wouldn't do any worse than the guys playing there for Man C today ?

Couldn’t see us getting anything out of the game for 20 mins, then boy did I enjoy that. Back to the top of the league.

I'm struggling to think of a player Pep has improved. Otamendi got binned. Stones has been binned, Savic got binned. I'd be expecting him to coach these into better players. Instead he goes and spends more money. £400m on defenders and they still look ropey.
Nothing gets mentioned in the press though, hes the media darling isnt he.

It’s why they do nothing in the CL.
Big sides don’t just sit back and let them play.
If you get at their back four they are awful.
I think Pep needs a defensive coach ,because he can’t do it!
Only seen the second half but don’t remember Schmeichel making a save?

Yes I can’t see any difference between Vardy first and the Brighton one that wasn’t given yesterday.
It’s still the opinion of a ref in a telly room somewhere.

Pep is the best manager in world....
When he has unlimited money and the best team in the league ...

He's just way too concerned with his team being lovely on the ball. He uses full backs who just get forward. His new 'holding mid' Rodri is just a go who can play short passes around and offers very little protection to the defence. A defence made of centre backs who can't really defend, they're just chosen because they can pass it. Even the goalie is selected because he can pass it - not that he's a bad keeper but every player is chosen because they can play neat little passes around. Anyone who can get them on the break they're screwed because he's never coached them how to defend. He's not interested.

Shocker for Spurs, really harsh call. Deserved a big win based on the performance.
As for City, they simply won't win or even challenge for the title unless they sign a striker. Aguero is a has been and injury prone for two years now, Jesus isn't good enough to lead the line. Glaring weakness that hasn't been addressed for a year or so. The defence is an issue too. Walker is past his best, Mendy a clubfooted cheerleader, no leaders at centre back and a weak CDM. Not looking good.

No. But missing chances is part of football, having video refs making wrong calls isn't.

So who cost them 2 points.. their players missing the goal or VAR?
I get the VAR/handball rules opinions, but if they had hit the net more like they should have done the handball would be a small side issue.

If you love football, it was the wrong call.

I totally get that. Chances were missed and without a doubt cost Spurs. But why do rules need to be changed every year that add nothing to the game, and if anything detract from it?
