City's chances of losing this match are high. Their performance is weak. On the other hand, Tottenham players are performing unexpectedly well today. Especially Richarlison, Palhinhna and Johnson are playing brilliantly.
It’s not a good idea to actually rule out a game before the final whistle but as it is, Manchester City has lost this game. It would be their first loss at home for the season. I don’t know what Pep was thinking, leaving Silva, Doku and Rodri on the bench but, surely it’s not paying off as it is with the likes of Richarlison, Kudus, Johnson and Bentancur running the Tottenham frontlines deep into Manchester City’s back and pushing them to make mistakes that could be goal scoring opportunities.
Rodri, Silva and Doku is currently on the pitch but Tottenham is still holding to their ground depriving City from penetrating their defense easily. City is having a difficult moment on the field full of frustration. This is the first loss of City in their opening home match since five years ago. They lost last in 2020.
I see City players too weak to withstand the pressure on them and equalize the game. They might not get a goal in this match. Tottenham is strong this season compared to last season because they are playing with full confidence. I didn't see this coming and City has cut my slip
