Spurs could do with someone to step up and lead them as Matty said. They don't seem to have a natural leader and much of their squad is new and not really accustomed to the nature of the club. Paulinho, Dembele, Sandros, Eriksen etc are all good players but will any of them step up and represent the club through thick and thin. City now have a real identity thanks to players like Sergio/Vincent/Yaya stepping up in big games when required. It has been true of the last two seasons the spurs have literally handed Arsenal 4th place despite being in the ascendency. This season they are chasing and have to really work hard to reel Liverpool in.
