We do with Mirallas and Coleman and it's bloody great to watch. Just a shame they've started so few games together.

But Spurs break with 3, 4 or even 5 when we're either stuck waiting for Jelavic to run up from nodding away a corner, then the likes of Osman and Pienaar to jog up as well as they aren't the quickest but Baines can shift like.

Bringing everybody back for a corner each time certainly doesn't help.

This with big [Poor language removed] off bells on.

I think 1-11, we've got a better side than Spurs. I'd take Bale over Pienaar, Defoe over Jelavic, Lloris over Howard and Parker over Osman, but that's it.

Difference is, they have players that can come in and perform to the same standard whereas, our bench is much weaker than theirs.

Oh, and Walker over Coleman maybe.

Not for me.

Their central midfield is far better on and off the bench (Dembele, Sandro, Parker, Holtby to our Gibson, Neville, Osman). They've a better back 4 minus Baines (Dawson, Gallas, Vertongaan, Walker, Naughton, Caulker to our Distin, Jagielka, Distin). Also got more creativity (Lennon, Bale, Dembele, Dempsey, Holtby to our Pienaar and Mirallas).

They have been in the top 4 twice in 3 years going for a 3rd. They just have that bit extra.
 
Can really do with Spurs dropping points here, if we lose tomorrow gap would be 6 points if they win, pretty big margin especially with some of the aways we have coming up
