Manchester City fans may just have to be a bit patient today - that's a pretty alien concept in Engllish football these days.
When a team plays at home home, the crowd just wants to attack from start to finish.
And in today's tactical battle against Tottenham, that's just not going to happen.
There is ahuge difference of opinion regarding formations these days.
Wheter to play 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 combination or whatever combination it takes.
Take city for example, and their 4-4-2 playing system. Playing 2 up front will leave them exposed in the middle against some excellent ball players from Spurs.
But what does Manuel Pellegrini do? With the superstar strikers he has, it's impossible to leave more than one on the bench.
That's already happening with Edin Dzeko - to put another in the dugout would be stirring up trouble.
And when you have two such great forwards as Sergio Aguero and Alvaro Negredo you might as well play to your strengths!
But it means Spurs can overrun them in midfield as will have three in the middle compared with City's two.
He was painful to listen to, wasn't he? I know he's a blue and all that, and he's supposed to be funny. But, to quote Inspector Harry Callahan; ''Man's got to know his limitations''.steviemc said:Get Jason Manford on the team bus. But NO singing.

In todays paper by non other than Twitcher himself.
Well we were patient for all of 14 seconds. Overrun in midfield? Oh yeah of course we were.
At least he got one thing right with SA and An we do have two world class strikers but that's about as much of an insight or revelation as me saying the sun's going to rise in the morning.
What a complete and utter waste of skin Redknapp is.
