Why does Lamela even start for Spurs ?
His pressing is excellent off the ball, the best in the squad.
No he hasn't.
Don't forget lads this is the game where Spurs go second after our defeat to City last week
was that him? I didn't catch who it was, was it him that decided not to pull the ball back in an empty penalty area where Eriksen was free then when he realised he had done a dumb move and decided to take it further up the channel then tried to cut it back it was too late and to far back.
Son should be livid that Lamela is starting ahead of him
Feel for him. He was finally looking like the player that had all that potential at Roma and he suffered that difficult injury. Then you had the issues with his brother. He looks painfully average on the ball again as he did when you first signed him. Do you think he'll find his good form again?
So he's your Danny Welbeck?
He has been excellent since his return from injury tbh
Eric Dier could do that to equal affect, no? Assuming he actually got a game of course.
Ah, thats good to hear.
If it's the thing he gets most praised for then something is wrong with a player at that position
They're a fecking nasty team.
He is also the only player in the squad other than Eriksen who can play clever through balls. The pressing is why he plays ahead of Son in certain matches.
Clever through balls ? When does that happen cause all the matches I've seen hom play have rarely displayed that
I've watched every game he has played for Spurs and he is capable of sublime through balls.
Ali couldn’t lace Dembeles boots as a midfielder. Massive gap in quality
If spurs want to win this they just need to press the 3 defenders when the keeper has it city have no clue what to do and when they go long spurs will win the aerial dual.
They are all capable of that but does he do it often ? I highly doubt it
I think Son is the right sub here
The Spurs backline insist on playing in to City's hands. Amazed they have only conceded two.
I dunno maybe he is one of those players you only appreciate if you support the team but I really like him.
Spursy 
Getting beat by the best team in the league is spursy now?Spursy
Man City have beaten you as well.
Getting beaten by a team that has lost its last 3 and have had all sorts of questions asked about them without really putting up much of a fight when your supposed to be the second best team in the county as we keep getting told by everyone in the media. Yes, that’s Spursy
They're playing City with the latter having no holding midfielder on the pitch, and on Wembley.
Absolute bottling job.
Absolute bottling job.
Are you telling me you weren’t expecting anything out of this game?
Lloris is one of the most overrated keepers around. Has made a lot of errors in this season.
Yes?
You really need to sort your top 6 mini league form out. There's too much pressure on your home games where one or two bad results sets you back.
Spurs of old. Pathetic performance to be honest.Spursy
You may have a point but at the same time you can appreciate him and acknowledge his shortcomings at the same time
Classic Spurs tonight. City were at a low point and they’ve let them cruise to victory.
I wasnt expecting to win.
Oh I do but I was giving reasons why he gets picked ahead of Son for some games.
Davinson Sanchez is a bit crap. Whatever is going on with Alderweireld the Colombian is a massive downgrade.
Thats the most Spurs Spurs you've got.
Not reading into this too much. City has spanked every top 6 team bar Liverpool at their own stadiums.
