All of a sudden, Spurs were on the front foot.

And it just showed, if this is not a wake-up call,

for Thomas Frank because in the first half, he tried to sit tight in a shape when they didn't have the ball, which is fine.

But eventually, you have to go step forward and make a challenge and win the ball.

They didn't.

All they did was keep in shape, move from side to side, but never actually got the ball.

Second half was the complete opposite.

Good shape, the desire was there, the first man went, everybody went in behind, and all of a sudden, Man City couldn't breathe.

And actually, at the end of the game, they held on for the point.

I think we need to give Shavi Simmons a little bit of love.

About time.

I think we've given him enough stick on this show, and I know I have, that he hasn't produced anything.

But today, you know, he didn't score and, you know, he didn't play a worldly pass, but his tenacity and his energy and just everything that he was trying to do, in my opinion, was a big part of the reason why, particularly in the second half, Spurs went on the front foot because every single time he got the ball, he wanted to do something.

He wanted to go forward.

He was looking for a pass.

So I think today, if you're a Spurs fan, hopefully you've seen what he can bring.

And if he can consistently bring what he did today in the coming weeks, then Tottenham will be on the rise.

I think Pep's got a problem here because...

There's no question that if you give Haaland the ball early in that little bit of space or in those little gaps, then he's going to produce.

Yes, he should have scored.
