Gallagher, a lifelong City supporter, admits the last thing his team needed was a meeting with Spurs amid their poor form.

City came into Saturday's clash on the back of four straight defeats and a glut of injuries to key players, and the visit of Ange Postecoglou would not have been top of the list for City fans.
