By the same token, we are also better than last season and have looked better over the last 1 1/2 month. As long as we play it smart again, there's no reason why we can't beat them again.

Err, we already beat them twice last season...

If they get at least 13 points from their next 6 league games...

Wonder whether Man City have made the wrong decision in handing Guardiola a new contract. They look to have gone stale under him and even if they get Messi next summer, not sure if that will really change much. There isn't gonna be another Alex Ferguson.

The permutation: A win at Rennes will guarantee progress to the R16, as long as Sevilla avoid defeat at Krasnodar. A draw will also be enough if Sevilla win at Krasnodar. Also worth noting that we will have 4 days of rest/preparation between this game and Spurs on Sunday.

Will they not sustain it? Unlike the other sides in Europe, Spurs can easily rotate their team for the Europa League and still have enough overall to go through to the knockout stages and if they are still at the top or near the top come January or February, you get the feeling that Mourinho will prioritize the league. And unless Son and/or Kane get/gets injured, they will likely be up there. Including today, this is their immediate 7 league games: Man City (h) Chelsea (a) Arsenal (h) Crystal Palace (a) Liverpool (a) Leicester (h) Wolves (a) If they pick up at least 13 points from their next 6 games, then...NIGHTMARE ON THE CARDS!

OR, this is the classic game plan against a Guardiola team. Defend well, let his side have all the ball and then just catch them out on the break. It's not like Spurs have been under great pressure defensively either. City have been drunk in the final third.

Spurs have had only 3 shots in the game...

Spurs with just 1 shot in the entire first half...

Watching Liverpool and Spurs win the league in back-to-back years would be fucking unbearable...

Guardiola keeps throwing money on defenders and they still can't defend. The defending and goalkeeping were horrendous for Son's goal.

God, hate it that you have made me sound like an old grandpa here!

5 goals and 5 assists this season. Good start, just like last season. Hope Abraham can sustain the form this time around since I doubt he will be overplayed again.

Thank god his misses did not come to bite us back in the arse because he really should have scored at least 2 goals today. That 2nd chance though was another classic example of a player being too unselfish...just like Hazard! That run to create Abraham's goal was classic Werner, it has to be said. Think only him and Pulisic are capable of producing that kind of chance.

Good performance and good win at a bogey ground, especially this coming after the international break. Mendy, rather than Silva, might be the one who has made the biggest difference to the defence.

TC hype Werner like he's Ronaldo? That's just your wild imagination. TC is nowhere bad but if you think it is because of how the forum treats Abraham, then you clearly haven't seen much of Twitter or even Facebook. Also, I guess you want fairness here but not sure if that's what you will achieve by doing what the haters do. You're ending up just like them!

It's kinda funny. He's German but seems to hate German players but like English players.

Okay, hater.

Werner missed 2-3 easy chances but then went and did that.

Just realized Havertz is not in the squad at all.

You had the wrong feeling...
