When we play like we did at West Ham, we are clearly the best team in the league. When we play like we did at Everton, however, I look at Spurs and think I'd take at least ten of their players, (they can keep Eriksen as we already have plenty of those type!).
Big, strong, powerful, skilful, organised, if they can keep the majority of their team fit I fancy them for the title.
Not going to be their day today, though. This is the wrong day to be playing City, we're going to slaughter the buggers. I'm thinking 5-2

One interesting thing is how over the coming weeks are we going to play Jesus.
Since Negredo left, we've relied on Aguero as the main striker and played around him. Are we going to do that now, with just variations of Sterling, Sane and Jesus out wide, or are we going to go with two central strikers.
There are two themses to City this season:
1) pathetically weak defensive game where almost every counter-attack leads to a goal eg Everton, Chelsea, Leicester and
2) Overwhelming possession where we can totally dominate possession and be unable to find a striker in space. Will Jesus change that? I would say yes, but then you look at Sane, Sterling and Aguero. They all have phenomenal ability to run and beat a man with the ball, and yet we still struggle to break teams down. Adding another pacey tricky forward can only be good, but I am wondering why Sterling and Sane's presence in front line has not had results - perhaps that's not true. Sterling has been one of our best players this season. And maybe we can say Aguero has struggled. And sane has barely played - in part due to injury.

It will be interesting to see whether Gabriel Jesus introduction into the team changes the dynamics of our play.
Will we still go for the slow build up from the back or will we add a bit more direct play because of his pace alongside Aguero, Sterling, Sane etc?
Something definitely needs to change with the speed of our attacking play.

Jesus was the son. The holy ghost was the spirit.That's the spirit

Expecting something like
Aguero
Sane Silva De Bruyne Sterling
Fernando Toure
Kolarov Kompany Otamendi
Bravo
Personnel may change but as against Chelsea I suspect Pep will want to force back their FB/WB
