Manchester City boss reveals Spurs strongest point

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has lauded the physical nature of the Tottenham Hotspur squad after the 1-0 on Monday 29th October.

Tottenham Hotspur provided a stern test for Manchester City as an early goal was their undoing in the clash that would have seen Mauricio Pochettino’s men move above City with a win.

Spurs pack a lot of physicality in their side with Victor Wanyama, Eric Dier, Jan Vertonghen, Moussa Dembele, Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez and Harry Kane all capable of bullying players off the ball.

Guardiola revealed that his side struggled in his first season at Manchester City against Spurs.

“I felt that when I played against Tottenham in White Hart Lane in my first year, we lost 2-0 and we could have lost 4-0. Then I realise how physical they were and that is why I give them a lot of credit in playing the way we played because it is something incredible, the way we played in that condition, so I give them a lot of credit.”
