Somehow amazingly Aurier sticking a foot in from behind on Sterling did not result in a penalty.

I generally like the forest green kits but feels wrong not being in the lily whites for a cup final.

We're only 9 minutes in and City have already had 3 good chances. This could be a long day.

I'm not sure what Spurs are trying to do tactically, but whatever it is, it's not working. Spurs can't hold the ball and City are going right through them.

I am watching Winks when Spurs get the ball and he is never presenting himself as a passing option in the deep buildup. He just jogs back and forth without finding space or getting away from a marker. What is he doing out there?

It does feel like Ndombele's passing and creativity from that spot is sorely missed.

And it's not like Winks is out there for his defensive contribution. If he's not getting contributing in possession, he provides no value at all.

This is not news of course but Man City are superbly coached. Their coordinated movement off the ball in possession is so impressive. Every time the ball moves the receiver has multiple open passing options.

Laporte lucky to still be in this game tbh.that.

To be fair, Reguilon's first foul could have also been a yellow before he picked up an actual yellow for the tackle on KDB.

It's crazy that Toby didn't start every game for Jose. He's our best CB by a gigantic margin.

How come City doesn't play a real #9?

Aguero has been injured all season and Jesus doesn’t actually score. There will be a new ST at City next season

I though the Super League was supposed to give us evenly matched fixtures every week?

Tough for Tottenham to get anything going on the counter when City just cynically cuts down any player going forward.

Sissoko beaten. Oh well, can't say City didn't deserve it.
Yes, they do.

Disappointed in Mason's approach. What was the point of firing Mourinho if Spurs were just going to leave their best passers on the bench, sit deep, and look to break on the counter?

Hard to tell how injured Kane was given the lack of service he got. It wasn't like Son/Bale/Lucas had a huge imprint on the game.

Lucas has the biggest imprint of any of them and was subbed for his troubles, which was odd.

Yeah, they all had little of the ball but I was more speaking of how rigid he looked to me. Ive watched very little of Spurs this year because Mourinho ball is often dreadfully boring so I can’t say if he looked about as he always does but it seemed to me like he was not his usual self or at least how I remember him
