What a difference it makes. I never felt constantly shit scared on set pieces. The central defence looked strong. I also thought we lacked it up front!

I agree we are a big unit now, coupled with the zonal marking system that has been an unqualified, uncelebrated success.
We shouldn't go to places like WHL and tried to play big guys in order to play them at their own game. With Silva and Tevez we kept the ball on the deck and nearly got around that donkey Dawson. The only time we ever played long ball to the strikers was when Zabba panicked (as he often does).

Balotelli 6ft 3"
Ade 6ft 4"
We've height up front if we choose to use it. Probably should have had Ade on from the start but still we got a good point, im happy.
Totally agree though our height increase at the back and especially Yaya in the mid really affected tottenham today.

Finally we have a relatively tall City team. Hopefully we can no longer be bullied out of matches like we have been in the past.
Now we just need some pace from midfield :@)

But we already have Gareth "Usain" Barry don't we?

I wouldnt say Silva was electric. He doesnt have a turn of pace.
We may have height but we still struggled to deal with the second ball off Crouch and Dawson in the first half.
