    Better not rest half his team against that muck across the city.

    Great to see him enjoy en emphatic win after the stick he's taken lately.

    Absolutely disgusting any of those spurs fans want him sacked. He might be heart in the mouth football but it’s definitely pure excitement and gets you days like today

    They’re the highest scorers in the league and have the 5th best defensive record. Had they beaten Ipswich, which seems an utterly bizarre result, they’d be sitting second right now. They’re favourites for the Europa and they have a decent chance at the league cup.

    Top 4 and the Europa League and they’ll build a statue of the man.

    All things considered I still think he's doing a good job there. He's picked up a spurs side that lost Kane.

    Still needs to add a bit more experience to that team but delighted for him tonight

    Could the seemingly impossible be happening.
    Is Ange after so long in the game, actually becoming more pragmatic ?
    He played a low block with two defensive midfielders for the first time I think against City, and that is the best and most compact unit in defence, I have ever witnessed from Spurs under Ange.
    And all that was achieved with his two first CB picks out.

    Absolute madness just how much a drop in quality a team with that strength in depth, money spent with a world class manager is with the one player missing.

    Pep’s Barca without Messi didn’t have that much a drop in quality.

    Absolutely. It's a strange one isn't it. How can one player be so influential to the point that a team loses five games on the trot without you? Absolute madness.

    Although I don’t think he’s an amazing player, kalvin Phillips was adequate cover for that role until Guardiola dropped him from existence and decided he didn’t want him! (Who signed off on that £55mil buy if that’s the case??). Instead he’s playing a RB in rico Lewis there who isn’t good enough to play that role.

    This downfall is beauty to see and just goes to show Guardiola isn’t as great as the world thinks. Give him an Everton and he’d be relegated.

    I don't know the full ins and outs but wasn't Philips half arsing training n overweight? I don't know if that came before or after being shut out by Pep.

    Wouldn't even be a shock, just spurs being spurs.

    Guardiola called Phillips out for being “overweight” at a time he was consistently playing well for England and didn’t look overweight at all! I’m sure Guardiola never question busquets having .5kg or anything on him. Was a very strange situation whatever was happening

    Ang, how long until he comes back to Celtic for a second go? You just never know in this game.

    They nearly did without Xavi but; not quite as much a sheer drop, but still a fair dip.
