Match Tottenham v. Manchester City (Sun Aug. 15 16:30 BST)

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Wasn't happy with Dier & Sanchez in the starting lineup, both were absolutely solid overall though - I won't go as far as to say I want them to start every game, because I still feel there are mistakes in that partnership but credit where it's due.
How much did they have to do most of the match? Seemed like most of the defending was done well outside the box. I don't mean this to disparage the pair, they played well. But it seems important to point out the clear differences in how Nuno is setting up the team to play and how it may benefit our centerbacks.
 
I don't know how people can diminish today's performance. You can be upset about a lot of things at the club, but it seems there's a large group of posters here that are only happy when we are miserable.
