Spurs have had a lot of possession and playing with 5 across the middle it's easy to see why. The problem is that they have to turn that possession into goals and for me I can only remember one effort on goal which was from a freekick. Apart from that, and the cross where Panti flapped, then they've not had too much to crow about. The 5 in midfield, and their bombing on fullbacks flood the midfield and that's why Yaya hasn't had the time to look anywhere like himself, he's hounded as soon as he gets a sniff of the ball.
Luckily, we don't just have Yaya to rely on the other players have taken up the slack. Strangely, it's Spurs 'great' defence that have made it quite easy for our goals. Lloris mistake and 2 great shots that led to our 1st. Defence all over the place for our 2nd and an easy couple of slide rule balls for our 3rd. Great ability to get their in the first place though and we well deserve all 3.
Aguero has been excellent whilst Negredo has bullied them senseless. Nasri has been decent whilst Jesus has been all over the field, defending as well as he's attacked. We're even pulling it together and swarming the box when we're defending with Clichy doinf well against Walker and Lennon, by in large.
Keep it the same for the 2nd and I'll be happy. A couple of changes at about 60 to keep the legs fresh and another 3 for Sergio. Can't believe I didn't make him Captain in my FFT.

Basically spura playing like us on an off day under Mancini without any defence.
