It wasnt a great night as im sure you can all remember but alot has changed since then.
The team which played that night is alot different to the side which will play on wednesday.
Given
Richards - Toure - Onuaha - Sylvinho
Ireland - De Jong - Barry
Robinho - Adebayor - Tevez
Our defence on Wednesday will be alot more organised as thats what has improved most since Mancini has taken over.
Zabaleta - Toure - Kompany - Bridge.
3 of them didnt play against Spurs the first time round.
In the midfield we now add Johnson and Bellamy who set up, id say, the majority of our goals. Robinho was none existant against them at White Hart Lane. Patrick Viera has hit form at last and hates them so will be doing everything in his power to stop them. Nige will cancel out Palacios' energy. Krankjar who scored 2 for them and was MOTM isnt playing so theres another plus.
As for the strikers Tevez was still finding his feet at the time and Adebayor was having that mid season off patch he was having. Times have changed for them 2 and are now an impressive partnership who will really give them problems.
I believe we will have to much for them and even though it will be close we should be able to do it. Everyone is saying how great Spurs are at the moment as they beat Chelsea 2-1 and Arsenal 2-1. Just like to mention that we also beat them both at home as well except we banged 4 in against Arsenal...
Its easy to get side tracked by the media who will make Tottenham sound like they're unbeatable in the next few days but lets just remind ourselves we're a good team and if we play half decent against them 4th place will be ours.
C'Mon City, I believe!!!
Fuckin hate Spurs as well...!
