Tim Sherwood believes Manchester City are Premier League
title certs after thrashing his Tottenham side 5-1 at White Hart Lane on
Wednesday.
Sergio Aguero had given Manuel Pellegrini's side an early
lead, but City romped to victory in the second half with Yaya Toure, Edin
Dzeko, Stevan Jovetic and Vincent Kompany all getting in on the act.
Toure's goal came from the penalty spot after Danny Rose
had been harshly dismissed for a lunge on Dzeko and, although Sherwood
disagreed with referee Andre Marriner's decision - influenced by his assistant,
the Tottenham head coach conceded his side were second-best.
Tottenham came away from the Etihad Stadium on the end of
a 6-0 hammering in November and Sherwood believes City are worthy title
contenders, hailing their attacking brand of football.
He said: "I think Andre got it right initially when
he called it a corner, unfortunately for us the linesman decided that Andre got
it wrong and he's given the penalty.
"It's a last-ditch tackle so he's having to lunge in
there a bit but he's having to do that because Dzeko's bearing down on goal, he
clearly wins the ball.
"It made a difference to the scoreline but they were
excellent, you've got to hold your hands up.
"They worked us all over the pitch and attack from
all angles and this team are the best team in the league by a country mile.
"Without question, in my opinion this is the
champions of the league.
"Unfortunately for everyone they play, they don't
score one and shut up shop they keep coming at you and if anyone's going to win
the league you want a team like this to go on and do it because they entertain.
"It's not great for an opposition manager believe me
because they put you to the sword and that's how football should be played in
my opinion."
