Watching City cut through Tottenham(and most teams to be fair) with almost every attack makes our performance against them at the Emirates that much more special.

I don’t see the point of the comparisons in the comments.
We’re obviously strong defensively this season, but it’s not like it we’re in a position to brag considering our record v City after beating them in one match at home.
“This game is boring” - yeah, so was ours against City.
Spurs have the best record against City and they’ve got a significant chunk of their starting XI out - it’s the equivalent of Rice, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomi, Ode & then some - at the same time including mid-serious injuries. Both times played poorly too and City weren’t at their peak. Under those circumstances (consider if we were in that position), 3 goals against City & limiting them to just 2 (& zero for Halaand) and drawing overall for a point at the start of a rebuild is a solid effort.
Anyway, that’s the second time this season that Simon Hooper has made a howler of a ref decision against the team playing Spurs.
Alternatively it is the equivealent of Timber, White, Partey, Odegaard and Jesus. You know, the exact line of players who were out for us for several rounds. We managed, but Spurs crumbled.
Spurs are blaming their poor run of games on injuries, but they have about the same as us, nut most of ours have been out for longer. And lets be honest, them missing Richarlison isn’t exactly a huge loss. They have had two players out due to suspensions on top of the injuries, but thats not bad luck. Thats just the consequences of dumb play. Spurs haven’t been hit and harder by injuries than any other team, with several teams being hit way harder than them
