Messi is obviously the best player on either team...but there are so many players on both teams this will apply to. Can't wait for it.
Spurs without Kane, to me Ajax has a good chance in the Semi's.
Spurs are also without Son in the 1st leg
Spurs will not offer much of a game this weekend at least. More injuries. No depth. And emotionally empty after tonight. That should help City getting back on track (if they are ever really off).
the classic Spurs move here would be falling to 5th place a week and a half before losing the CL FinalsSo, Spursy moments saved for later match.
True. A true Alpha wouldn't be creating chances for others. He'd be scoring them.Beta Hendo
Spurs will definitely offer a game, they have to get a point at any cost. They already just toppled City twice. The mental warfare is strong at that point, I think everyone massively underestimates how much of the game is mental. City had better technical quality all over the field and continued to give up goals anyway. There's no logic to these things. City also has to win and could capitulate under some pressure. Spurs is lucky in that they don't have to be frantic, City also has to beat them and force things themselves. The FA did neither team any favors with the fixture list, they get to play the early game on Saturday.
Good comparison is when Liverpool beat City in the league last year. What happened when they played the next time?
What a season though. Some totally ridiculous **** happening the last few months.
Well City won the match today, so not twice really.
And the ball definitely went off Llorente's arm.
I'm sure City feel that they won with their players collapsed on the pitch and all that.
As far as the handball goes, I swear to **** some of you need to learn the rules. They do change next year to where the goal would be disallowed, but for now...
Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm.
The referee must take the following into consideration:
• the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand) - no movement in this case. Certainly not deliberate as his hand was where it should have been when he jumped. Good goal.
Yeah, it clearly hit his arm. I think changing the rule is actually going to be a disaster. I remember Suarez kicking the ball straight into defender's hands, is that always going to be a penalty now? If so, that's so stupid.
