Nevermind their trademark high temp counter game, we did well not to fold considering the recent performances.
Coming off a dismal run of form turned into a few positive games, this was a huge win.
Not usually I agree with Zedie's eternal optimism but in this case I do.
Leicester are also high on confidence, one game after an epic battle with City and they basically parked the bus and played anti-football.
People have forgotten how these sorts of games were always giving us trouble early in the season when we played 4-5-1 the same issues were happening, difference was we didn't always get the win.
We've never blown away teams parking the bus, not now and not all season, it has nothing to do with the current set up or effort.
What I saw is that we 3/4 of the game we were firmly in charge, recovering the ball, harrying them down, making an effort.
The only thing I was disappointed with was Sanchez and Ozil's final balls and goal efforts, people were also not putting Walcott in through the gaps but other than that .......... 3 points.
If we beat City, a revived Leicester and put a nail in Spurs in one week ........ how is that not a great result?
Yes we're not playing pretty football but that's because we've been shipping goals and losing games hence why we're playing 3-4-3.
