Tottenham deserves every form of applaud because not only did they get a draw but they did put up a really good fight against Manchester city in the eithad stadium which happens to be their string hold of victory but the spurs defiled the records in what seemed like their worse form, this is a good signal with the spurs they they are definitely getting back on their feet and a signal for other teams that they can still challenge Manchester city regardless of their might .
For a team to be able to challenge Manchester City, they should be able to play the exact pattern of Manchester City, that is quick attack-level football.
A team playing such pattern, will be on the same page will Manchester City. Take for instance, how Chelsea and Tottenham played against Manchester City upon their poor performance, they were able to have a draw with Manchester City. The draw happened because they play exactly the way Manchester City do play their pattern of football.
This season, I see it to be a difficult season for Manchester City. Premier League teams are beginning to learn how to counter and score against them. It wouldn't be surprising if Manchester City lost their ground as the Premier League champions for 2023/2024 season.
