THANKS once again Edin.

For the record I don't have any preference for our formation. I'm just confused as to how some are saying "that was three at the back" when all we really did was rearrange the backlit (in the same starting formation) to push Maicon into Zabaletas position.

Now that I've enjoyed Hoddle and Redknapp's guttedness I have to say imo something important has happened there today--
The return of Silva gives us that utter unpredictability. His passing and vision are unplayable and he 'unlocks' teams beautifully. We already know this but that 'magic' has been missing so much this season.
However, a more important thing has happened.
We started to play with width. Maicon was hugging the touchline he was that wide. When he had the ball rather than doing the usual 'pass it back into the middle' routine we always do he actually, whisper it, ran at players, he even, whisper it even quieter, beat players and shock of all shocks actually drilled the ball across the 6 yard box.
Totally different 'dimension'. Spurs had fuck all they could do about it.
Huge kudos to Mancini. Went 'brave' with the 3-5-2, put on 'an old man who's finished and cant run', and it won us the fucking game
Finally, got to say I was really pleased with the effort, work rate and togetherness. Special mentions to Clichy and Zab, who as ever, were fucking animals.

Re: Adebayor on Zabaleta
I couldn't see clearly on my telly, cuz the replay they showed was off the wrong angle. But Zaba just seemed to be brought down after Adebayor ran past him. Couldn't really tell, but Ade's elbow doesn't look like it was up.
Don't know how Zaba got the cut on the side of the nose. I believe it's intentional though.

Totally deserved win. We made their supposedly dangerous players look like passengers. Dreadful goal that we conceded from one of too many unnecessary free kicks that we gave away.
Excellent day for Bobby, who has to take plaudits for his team selection and tactics. His team should have finished the game off earlier but at least managed two world class finishes.
Dzeko definitely better off the bench at the moment.

Great win. Ithink the officials got a lot of stuff (although obviously not all of them) right today. Would've been 4-0 had Hart been able to tip the ball wide and Zaba and Tevez finished better. I can't believe Silva has just returned from an injury.

See the Kolorov bashes out in force again. Spurs game pace on the flanks Bale and Lennon completely nullified today part of that was due to Kolorov

I just want to point out in case you guys have something to share.
Clichy and Koralov with Koralov as a winger
Zabba and Maicon with Maicon as a winger
It's the tactic Mancini used today.
