We asked for your views on Wednesday’s EFL Cup match between Tottenham and Manchester City.
Here are some of your comments:
Tottenham fans
Doug: Great result, I’m chuffed for Werner getting a goal. He had a few other chances and he did better with them so I hope he continues to grow. Hopefully Van de Ven’s injury isn’t a serious one. And when Romero went off we had none of our main centre-backs on and still played well and got the result. Need to continue building as it’s a tough game on Sunday at Villa.
Stephen: I thought we played well and had several chances to put the game to bed in the second half. We defended very well and Bentancur and Bissouma were very good together. We must remember this was not Manchester City’s first team but it was ours.
William: Today was like a Spurs win against Manchester City of old – defensively solid and dangerous on the counter attack. I love watching Ange’s fearless style of play, but today showed that sometimes taking a backward step can work and that against teams like City sometimes you have to adapt your style of play based upon the quality of the opposition.
Man City fans
Toqir: They lacked the killer instinct. Pep put on a third XI, there’s no doubt about that. They had a good run around but could have stamped their authority if they’d concluded their chances. It’s a blow to me as a fan. But Pep made his views clear regarding the congestion of matches and fielding an inexperienced team.
John: Despite falling to defeat, it was so encouraging to see so much of the City youth team fit into the Pep way of playing. City’s future is looking good, very good.
Jim: I was at the match and worried about the ease Spurs scored the first goal. However we had a good second half and the youngsters did well.
