National media reacts as Tottenham suffer defeat at Man City

19 days ago Football.London

Emerson Royal doubled the Lilywhites' lead just minutes later after nodding the ball home from close range over his Brazilian compatriot Ederson in the City goal. Mahrez secured the three points for City with a fourth goal before the full-time whistle on a disappointing night for Spurs, who endured a second half collapse in Manchester.

Silva and Aubameyang return, Havertz dropped

Graham Potter has already celebrated victory over Manchester United and Erik ten Hag once this season. The Portuguese superstar will be absent this afternoon as Chelsea host Manchester United in the Premier League. "I think it is a really important game for us, an exciting game," Potter said ahead of the match. Potter opted to rest several key figures at the Gtech Community Stadium, all are expected to return to the starting XI for the visit of United. The latter option is more likely if Chelsea are to press United high up the pitch and that would also see Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang return to the starting XI in attack.

Antonio Conte handed unwanted Dejan Kulusevski Tottenham task as Yves Bissouma replacement waits

So what alterations could we see Conte make to his Tottenham team on Sunday against Newcastle? Conte has a call to make at right wing-back this weekend with Emerson Royal available once again after serving his three-match suspension. Djed Spence has been given game time in the past couple of games but the summer signing will have to bide his time until his first Tottenham start comes his way. That extra midfield body didn't work as planned as United won the midfield battle with ease as Spurs' trio all struggled. Although Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur did also struggle in Manchester, Conte will keep faith with his trusted midfield two given the need to bounce back right away.

The hidden Chelsea reason Graham Potter must make key Ruben Loftus-Cheek decision vs Man Utd

Graham Potter's challenge in replicating the quality of Reece James is a steep task for any coach to navigate. On Wednesday night, Potter opted to deploy Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the right wing-back role against Brentford in a 3-4-2-1 formation. It is understandable when approaching Saturday's clash with Manchester United, Potter would lean in the direction of Loftus-Cheek given the speed of Marcus Rashford on the left of United's attack. Potter does not have that luxury, meaning that Loftus-Cheek does not have the same defensive security in the wing-back role that James has offered him before. He will be hoping whoever he puts in that role, can offer enough sticking plaster in the short-term before James is fully recovered.

Erik ten Hag given Mikel Arteta's Arsenal example to win Cristiano Ronaldo Man Utd situation

Erik ten Hag is facing a similar situation at Manchester United now after Cristiano Ronaldo refused to come on as a substitute during the 2-0 win against Tottenham. Ronaldo was keen to leave Old Trafford during the summer transfer window but the club opted to keep hold of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner despite interest from Chelsea. Ten Hag can learn a lot from the Spaniard's example and Ronaldo looks set to be dropped from the United squad for the huge clash against Chelsea this afternoon. Since arriving as manager, Ten Hag has showed that players either follow his instructions and rules or they will not play.

Roy Keane agrees with Rio Ferdinand on Cristiano Ronaldo Man Utd exile amid Tottenham jibe

People say ‘you’re a player in the team’ but when you’re dealing with a player like Cristiano Ronaldo, like it or not, he’s Cristiano Ronaldo he’s one of the greatest footballers ever along with [Lionel] Messi. I still think he’s a human being, he’s got flaws, he’s probably frustrated at not getting opportunities and had enough. He went to Man United to a bad Manchester United team, really bad, still leading goalscorer." "Man United managed to beat Tottenham last year, I think Ronaldo got a hat-trick, he’s more than capable of coming on and making a difference."

Arsenal star 'disappointed' at major manager call amid Mikel Arteta's Ben White decision

Whilst there remains a core group of players that are likely to start every game, Arteta has been open to giving players a chance if they impress when rotated into the starting lineup. The Portuguese defender said: "Of course I am disappointed that I have not played yet this season." I have been working hard every day, as this is the only way I know to get where you want to be." The Arsenal boss said: “The competition is one thing, the second one is because he was injured for a while. “He had a recurring injury but now he is fully fit and he’s a player that deserves to play.

Hugo Lloris question, Eric Dier's moment of madness

Davinson Sanchez, Clement Lenglet, Emerson Royal, Ryan Sessegnon and Oliver Skipp were the quintet to come into the Tottenham team in their place. The Dane will now be targeting a new run once he returns to the XI after his injury issue. Not long after that brilliant play from Emerson, there was a moment of madness from Eric Dier that almost resulted in Newcastle taking the lead. Coming out to clear a long ball over the top, the Frenchman chested the ball when looking to get beyond the striker but ended up colliding with him. Not the first time a poor kick from Lloris has resulted in a goal this season.

Every word Antonio Conte said on Romero and Hojbjerg injuries and wanting time and patience

I think that instead in the first half we started really well and we played really well. It was Tottenham and Pope made two, three amazing saves, if we go to watch the game again. Romero was the last two or three games, he arrived every day half and half to decide if he play or doesn't play. The players gave their availability to play otherwise honestly if the player doesn't want to play, I don't force the player. Pierre it was the same because Pierre played every game, he played every minute and he was really tired.
