We Broke This City
Summary
Greg, Ben, and Ryan Rosenblatt analyze Spurs' 4-0 victory over Man City, debating if it was their best Premier League performance. They praise Kulisevsky’s dominance against City’s backline, Maddison’s Dele Alli-esque goals, and Vicario’s assured save-filled display. The trio also discusses Ange Postecoglou’s tactical adjustments, the squad’s reliance on the manager to maximize limited talent, and concerns over Forster’s distribution as a backup keeper.
