I think I'm still optimistic until next week.
I think Liverpool are going to cause Man City problems.
If Man City turn up like they did in the second half, Liverpool with Eketike and Vert's movement will cause them all sorts of pressure.
As soon as you raise the tempo in the game, guys, it's stark.
I would love to say here, Spurs did something really tactical and the change.
All it did is gone to an old school 4-4-2 and they had loads of energy.
They started winning the ball higher up the pitch and it was almost like they've had a rollicking at halftime, go out there and give it 100%.
And as soon as Spurs did that, guys...
Man City didn't know how to deal with it.
I've talked about Man City so much, how good they are on the ball.
And even before that, how well they press high up.
But anytime, anytime someone moves the ball quickly against them.
And I know Nunes, we've talked before, Nunes, Matias Nunes is not a fullback.
Nico O'Reilly thought he did really well in midfield, and then he made a little mistake for the second goal in terms of not clearing his lines.
But every time someone runs at them with pace, it's like they don't know what they're doing.
The second goal, they had five or six players in the box, zero communication.
Nico O'Reilly on the first goal.
I don't know, it's a bit of a, I feel like I'm ranting, but for a team who have accomplished so much,
To then get Mark Gain, who I actually thought at times he played really well in the game, but decision-making from the back four is not good enough.
I've talked about the midfield and the lack of protection.
