Found the upload button! What did you guys think of Conte's tactics in particular this match?

[@diegocervantes2452]

Finally!!!, the best football channel in all KZbin is back!

[@mattdrayton2668]

Fascinating analysis, thankyou for your work.

[@markant9534]

It would have been interesting to see how Conte would have adapted to Thiago and Van Dijk playing.

[@markant9534]

Van Dijk had played in all 16 of Liverpool's games prior to his Covid test.

[@dimitrisnak969]

Another patern i saw Spurs using, was the overlapping runs of Sessenion. The Center Backs, especially Eric Dier, were trying to find Ryan with very good diagonal long balls in order to expose the lack of defensive awareness that Arnold has. It did lead to some good chances, especially in the end..Great Video by the way, keep it up.

[@Ashitaka255]

I think this also hinges on the individual qualities of one player - Emerson. Klopp targetted Emerson with Mane and Robertson. This was quite effective. For Conte this presented an opportunity. TAA's lack of defensive skill, Sessegnon's pace and dribbling and lack of cover from Salah all combined nice on that side for Spurs. If Emerson was better, this game would have very different.

[@refl1x362]

@@Ashitaka255 excellent analysis, but Mane and Robertson are quite tough attackers to handle, Spurs need to upgrade in that RB position.

[@mattroyal363]

@@refl1x362 lmao Emerson was supposed to be the upgrade

[@Ashitaka255]

@@mattroyal363 Yup. There's just not many world class or even great RB's available at the moment. Remember City paid close to 70m for Cancelo, PSG paid that for Hakimi. Who do you buy that guarantees clear upgrade but is also not 50M+. Something only City, Liverpool etc can afford.

[@colouredIncognito]

So a overlapping wing back..... How's that new?

[@daveyfunk]

Conte really had the upper hand in this. If Liverpool had their first choice midfield I think it could have been much different, but with Skipp and Hojbjerg Spurs are much different. Conte being able to get a draw against Liverpool with a midfield 3 of Dele, Ndombele and Winks makes him a legend already, imo haha

[@sorryminati4719]

I don't think it would have much of an effect Fabinho would still be under pressure the same way Tyler was it's the matter of one mistake

Agreed. Having a handicapped midfield and playing against a 12-member team is not easy.

Spurs coukd have won that match by 4 or more goals, but they failed on the finishing

[@Ashitaka255]

Which is so crazy cos we're the one team that doesnt create a lot but still ends up scoring cos of Kane and Son. Liverpool have a curse on us. Remember Bergwijn two sitters last season?

[@pottqssium]

Can't help it to be fair, they didn't play for two weeks. Most of the squad that were playing also got Covid, and still recovering from that. So, to be honest, they were doomed for playing against Liverpool first when they were not fit at all. But its crazy how the match went.

[@pc8679]

Conte destroyed Klopp tactically

[@ZavN11]

If spurs had a right wingback who could actually cross the ball they would've created so many more chances

[@Ashitaka255]

Bring back Trippier lol

[@jaimeampuero5419]

A contender for Game of the Year. Such a thriller!

[@davidmuoka3328]

I think this game needed firmino right from the start, imo he'd play his false 9 role which would make a 4v3 in midfield and which would pull dier out of position , to make a 2v2 with salah and mane up against davies and sanchez

[@Ashitaka255]

it still doesn't solve the defensive issue of Liverpool. A simple ball over the top beat their press and the entire midfield. Firmino would have the same problem that Keita had, pressing too hard leaves gaps in behind.

[@eysp2407]

Spurs nearly can get a win against strong team like liv but draw also good for Spurs in top 4 race

[@oooo1110]

Son n Kane absolutely bodied them and also had mercy on them at the same time. Crazy.

[@destinyafehijemounu5818]

I thought this channel closed😂😂. Thank God you are back

[@karlpk3907]

Another great analysis from our FMS guru. I think Conte out-managed Koop in this match by tempting Liverpool to keep their center backs wide in possession so Son and Kane could exploit that space on a quick counter. One other observation - Conte is a godsend for Dele Alli. He was great in this game in his wide role and should have scored. Conte may be single handedly responsible for resurrecting Dele’s career, which has SO much potential so far unfulfilled under the last two managers. Let’s hope so.

[@sorryminati4719]

dele has a lot of issues though you're needlessly blaming poch and Jose

[@karlpk3907]

@@sorryminati4719 Agreed. Like the crazy significant other Dele has issues. Maybe Conte can get him past them. Jose has/had no patience for Dele and Nuno had no time. Dele has oodles of talent. Maybe Conte can bring it out. This game suggests he can.

[@GusFringChicken_GFC]

@@karlpk3907 but surely this is Alli's last roll of dice in his career

[@karlpk3907]

@@GusFringChicken_GFC Also agreed. Part of being a first choice starter in the game's toughest league -- let alone a star and a 1st 11 National teamer -- is not just talent but huge levels of dedication, mental toughness, determination, the will to train hard so you can spill your guts out every time you step on the pitch. It's easy to admire the great stars, the ones who have more talent than the next player. No, it's players like Vardy and Antonio who I admire more than anyone, guys who by sheer will more than everything else made themselves into top players when it would have been easy to give up or not really try that hard. Does Delle have it in him? It's indeed now or a descent into total mediocrity.

[@AcidAdventurer]

@@karlpk3907 I don't think Dele has oodles of talent. He's decently skilled at two things: close touches in and around the box and late runs into pockets to create a goal scoring chance. He's awful on the counter, awful in possession anywhere outside the box, awful dribbler and not a defensive player at all. He's not particularly strong or pacey or quick. He fits one very specific role and that's as a shadow striker drifting into space to grab and create goals. He was pretty damn good at it for a while with the exact right team and system, but outside of that he's shown precisely what kinda player he is

[@najmussabir6051]

Conte needs to find a way to attack transitionally which was done by Mourinho ✅ They're playing with extreme width to pin back the opposition but only attacking structure we see is either of Son or Kane dropping to receive and through pass and also they're relying on crossing.

[@LectroSaw]

Najmus Sabir, Great point as a good transition game is basically in Spurs DNA as far back as I can remember.

[@jerickalberca4503]

Kane should drop all day since he is an assisting forward but either of them two will do.. this is not Contes inter that rely on setting plays.

[@theredking4239]

Spurs under Conte are already so much better. If the board backs him and he gets the players he wants Spurs are going to be serious title contenders next season.

[@Ashitaka255]

Just need a TOP TOP right back. Imagine a Hakimi, Reece James or even Trippier instead of Emerson on that right side. Also, one more goal scorer to help Son and Kane. If we can get Vlahovic, Mukiele(?) and De Vrij in Jan, we could even push for third this season.

[@refl1x362]

@@Ashitaka255 Don't know if Vlahivoc will join spurs, he rejected Arsenal offer but with Conte as a coach he might, De virj and Mukiele are quite releastic, what would be your formation be with de virj and mukiele, and vlahovic?

@@refl1x362 Yeah, it's all speculative, but him rejecting Arse is no reason for us to be concerned. Back line woud be Dier, De Vrij and Romero. Then Vlahovic up top with Son, and Kane sitting just behind them. Have Skipp and PEH protecting the back line. It would be great to be able to drop Kane and Son sometimes too.

xg doesn't account for a lot of things. Like if you're offside that doesn't go into the xg. If you're basically through on goal, but don't take a shot, that's 0 xg.

[@BenAnderson48]

As a Liverpool fan I'm looking forward to the reverse fixture to see what changes for both sides. Hopefully both sides are at full strength so that mistakes that wouldn't normally happen (width between the CBs being too much is one of them, and midfield's lack of positional play being the other) don't happen and we see the true tactical play of both sides. I also would think Conte goes much more defensive at Anfield and Salah gets a talking to about how to press the centre of a 3-back!

[@arunodayray1932]

Our midfield and defenders were highly exposed as TAA and robertson played super high. This is why we need our original midfield and Van Djik

[@GusFringChicken_GFC]

[@milovanpankov6376]

The solution for build up against Liverpool high position press 4 3 3 is 2 4 2 2. How? Two centerbacks split wide. One centreback move in front of the box with defensive midfielder to make 2-2 build up. Wingbacks goes wide and high. Two central midfielders plays between the lines and two striker on opposite centrabacks. Similary Conte do against FC Barcelona in Champions Lige when he was coach Inter Milan.

[@milovanpankov6376]

@UCuP-669UOjTnNYWhaqegGAg The poent is in two strikes. When the ball is play to wingback who is high and wide the opposite centerback move to press. And there is open space between fb and cb for the run of striker.

[@ollie8725]

[@wisdomnzube2330]

1. It is clear Conte beat klopp tactically. 2. If spurs had finished their chances, they would have beaten Liverpool. 3. Spurs were much fitter than Liverpool who needed to take a rest or breather... Spurs hasn't played for God knows when. 4. I think Liverpool missed 2 or 3 players, who would have helped them. 5. Liverpool still equalized and took the lead... Which shows how much strong that team is.

[@liammichon1784]

Klopp could have had his holding midfielder (I forget his name) drop to become a third centre back on defensive transitions. That would have at least mean that Liverpool would have someone who could cover for Konate or Matip when they were beaten by Kane or Son.
