One interesting thing I've seen discussed: what Frank has done is take how our defence is comfortable building from the back as they've been doing that for a couple of years under Ange, but by placing a far more solid midfield structure in front of it that means our defence has both the protection if they want to continue pushing forwards but also the protection for when they want to reset as the buildup is entering the next phase
Our record in the league v City since we moved to the new stadium is the stuff of fairytales: 2-0 2-0 0-3 1-0 3-2 2-4 1-0 3-3 0-2 4-0 2-0 P11 W7 D1 L3 F20 A15 It's the 6 clean sheets that also boggles the mind.
I don't want to get swept up the the customary Spurs new manager hype or go for a ride on the usual emotional rollercoaster with a new manager, but Mozart's achievement pales next to the Spurs team Frank rolled out against City.
Spurs vs Pep era Citeh in the PL speaks nothing to me other than dogma and hubris on the part of the latter. Specifically, that he on a whim playing his "way" can beat a Spurs team that comes to play with Citeh as the specific opponent. The only times this has not been the case was peak Pochettino (where the team backed themselves to beat anyone) . If these games were the CL final would he be such a moron and not himself play to how he thinks Spurs will.
As has been pointed out by Opta, during Fraudiola's time in the PL he's only been down by two or more goals at half time six times And three of those were against us
