Eriksen in central midfield. Worked out quite well
I'm really not surprised by our win and performance, I was nervous that if we missed this opportunity the rest of the league might treat City as being unbeatable and just let them walk the league. Now everyone of them can see playing them is nothing to be scared of.
We made them look so average in the first half, reminded me of when we turned up to Dortmund last year and got a lesson.
Wanyama was excellent.......where's that City fan that was saying Fernandinho is the best defensive midfielder in the league?....

Glorious. Lord Sugar even tweeted that he thought we'd win.

It's just you.
Every match report has a sub heading saying "Are Tottenham title contenders?"
Doesn't really need to be posed as a question. 2nd placed team beats the 'favourites' convincingly...

We could have been 4 or 5 up in the first half - they were so open to counter attacks.
Second half we just needed to contain them, they were throwing on £30 - £40m signings and still couldn't create any proper chances.
Driving home and Talksport didn't even discuss the game for the whole journey home. They were talking about Manu and get this, "Is that result at WHL good news for Liverpool"?, followed by hot topic of discussion and Liverpool fans phoning in to discuss.
Haha as I write this now Tony Evans on TS first comments about the game are "Tottenham have got a problem over their mentality, just look at the penalty incident" What a fucking Scouse cunt.
We now have a run of 3 games that we are expected to win, or at least not lose, so it could be that they don't even mention us as contenders until the Scum game by which point we could easily have been top for the best part of a month (if City fail to beat Everton).
Not only the League, but better than Makelele.
So Fernandinho is the best DM ever.
Brilliant result brilliant prefomace but most importantly this is not Spurs playing out of their skin. This is Tottenham the hardest team in England to beat. We are genuine title contenders
Was it him who lost the ball for our first goal?
No reflection on you mate - and it was just a light hearted joke.
Just finished watching the full match replays and that was just fantastic I think 2-0 flattered them , with some of the first teamers missing and some of the up and comers we have in the squad to add it's definitely the most exciting Spurs team in decades.
Now that's how you make a statement..
What an absolute pleasure it is to watch this team. We controlled this from the first minute,everyone of them was outstanding.
I remember watching us against Man City under AVB, I looked at the clock and thought fuck me we have 75mins left of this, please blow up now..Today, I looked at the clock with 10 minutes left, we were beating Man City 2-0 and should be wishing for the final whistle, all I was thinking was, shit only 10 minutes left, I want this to go on because I knew they would not break us down.
The mentality of this team is top notch as is the effort and team spirit. We have a very special group of players and a very special manager.
I can't praise each and every player up enough.. Sissoko, Wanyama, Son etc etc etc.. all first class and all deserve to sit in that dressing room knowing they totally outplayed this seasons stand out team..
No doubt the media will be saying Man City were off their game blah blah blah.. I made the mistake of listening to talksport thinking that it would all be about how well we played but all they could concentrate on was how embarrassing it was when Son and Lamela squabbled over who should take the pen..
Even that or yet another Woolwich late none goal won't take away the enjoyment I had sitting there watching us destroy Man City..
Pity it's International break time...

Had to sit the game out in radio silence until I got home to watch it on the sky box.
I think it's fair to say that we made them look relatively ordinary and our defence showed that you have to beat us now and not simply wait for us to implode - as was the case in the past.
Not sure why such a good striker of the ball like Erissen doesn't take penalties and wasn't surprised to see it saved.
Only downside was seeing the goons scrape through. I can see this being a battle between us the grief monkeys and the goons, but citeh can just go out and lash quarter of a billion on beefing the side up come December - so who knows.
Happy days!
