This game was all about getting into them early and making sure they didn't park the bus. The early goal was a gift and if we took our chances it could've been 6-o now.

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.

Fernandinho has been superb while Yaya is having an off day.Demechelis looks very shaky while Nasti has been very good.
And we really do look good going forward with Aguero excellent.Not perfect as he has missed two very good chances but such quality and a real threat all the time.Great to see Navas contribute so much as well.

Spurs can't be as useless up front in the 2nd half if they have as much of the ball so Panti will get some real work to do.He won't bring Ade on will he before Defoe. As long as Spurs don't score more than 1 I will be happy.

I'll take another 3, but if it stops here I am happy...Aguero scored and I picked 3-0 in the predictor.

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

Sergio has as many goals as the entire spurs team. Needs one more in the 2nd half to be leading scorer in the league

Adebayor coming up. That's 3 players who can potentially get sent off now: Sandro, Vertonghen and him.

Lescott on and Spurs going for 2 upfront. Let's see what we can do without them having the midfield.

Just hope we don't switch off 2nd half.
