Some managers just know how to set up a defence with limited players

Pickford played under both Allardyce & Silva yet we were shipping goals for fun under Silva.

I personally love the Mourinho/Simeone style of defending like wardogs its how limited sides can compete with the teams who can play through you.
Spurs aren't a limited side though. They have two of the top maybe 6 (?) attacking players in the league which bails out the lack of front foot play. I love Richarlison and DCL but I doubt they could do it the same.
 
One of the funny things here is that Real Sociedad who signed David Silva off City because he was past it are actually probably better than City currently with Silva a big part of it.
 

You’ve got your head in the clouds if you think we’re anywhere near Spurs. Deluded.
We honestly could be if we sorted out the keeper situation and defended better. I mean Spurs are getting outshot 19-4 here and while it doesn't matter today because they went in they'll not get away with this kind of thing that often.

Vast majority of those off target because City fall to pieces in the box thanks to Spurs' pressure.
