How Ange Postecoglou’s 2-3-5 Is ALREADY Transforming Spurs | Tactics Explained

Absolutely fantastic analysis. Spurs people underrate how press resistant, technical gifted and physical dominant team. They are probably the best team so far to watch this season. I bet they finish above Man United

[@StatmanDaveClips]

That wouldn't surprise me with no European football to worry about

[@noelle3551]

​@@StatmanDaveClipsI would agree with you on this point. However, considering the shambles of the last 3 seasons, a break from euro football maybe the best way for Ange to sort the team out without the extra games. I believe going out of carabao Cup also maybe a blessing in disguise this time around! Great analysis 👍

[@damiarmyworld1314]

Not surprised at all, those who have watched Ange’s teams past 15 yrs will tell you he’s transformed Australian, Japanese & Scottish Football, taking over struggling, poorly performing teams & turning them into powerhouse teams.

[@bassistwithadeathwish7277]

Whilst Spurs' big money signings have generally failed, their youth recruitment (Sarr, Udogie, Bissouma, Van de Ven this summer, Porro) and especially the model they applied to Sarr and Udogie- loaning them back to their own clubs for a season to give them game time- previously applied with the signing of Dele, has been a masterstroke. The signing of Vicario was also bang on, at the moment it looks like they upgraded the goalkeeper position from the last few years with a goalkeeper capable of great saves and distribution quality. They will only get better over the period of this rebuild, and there will be down moments but it's a very interesting time to be a Spurs fan such as myself.

[@pauldurdin6163]

Personally don’t see Porro making it. Upgrade coming this winter, id say. Royal is utterly useless

[@elishaarup1910]

A brilliant impartial and unbiased appraisal of Ange's methodology. I have supported this club since the day Pat Jennings scored at Old Trafford in '67.After 4/5 seasons of drudgery it is wonderful to see such exciting and fast moving football that fans love to watch and players love to play.

[@ryujin407]

Just a small correction: Pape saar is actually right foorted not left footed😅. Also the striker is suppose to be out & out and is not suppose to drop deep, it's a habit that has gotten corrected when we saw Son playing against Burnley. 😅

[@alexandross3557]

One of, if not THE most interesting piece you did so far!

[@spursnofficial]

Wanted to hear about your thoughts on the xG conceded against attacking teams (Brentford, Burnley) and if a higher quality team would be able to take advantage of Spurs' new style.

[@darreltan1694]

Definitely. Spurs will score loads of goals but we will definitely concede many as well. With both fullbacks constantly inverting, the 2 centrebacks pretty much carry all the defensive responsibility. We are very vulnerable to attacks down the wings.

[@RememberTrueStyle]

Thank you for sharing! Exciting times for Spurs

[@nadspurs]

Thanks excellent analysis. Young team with loads of potential. Spurs may surprise a few people this year esp after losing Harry. Big Ange has started great and he needs to be backed and given time, but its really encouraging.

[@MarquisdeSuave]

Has Sarr made a mistake yet this season? It's like he's surrounded by an aura that allows him to play mistake free football. He's not too flashy and he's not get become overconfident, but he always seems to know where his next pass or dribble is going before he even receives the ball. It's weird because if you look at him as a player, he's not exceptionally fast, quick or agile. Nor would I call him a technical wizard. He just understands the tactics the team is executing better than anybody else on the field and executes them perfectly nearly every time.

[@mooksieb]

I am so impressed with your insightful analysis. It's next level mate!!!

[@senseiois4208]

You forgot the soon to be fit but injured bentaccure he can aldo rivsl maddison for skill and bosuma for his skills tooso i would like to see how his attacking threat will help the club in the future too or if he will come off the bench i believe if he comes on as a sub with soloman they combined can be the advantage tottenham will need after janurary when games start to get tougher

[@orinorio1]

The amount of videos being made of Spurs is interesting. Spurs way of playing is good to watch. The system seems to cover everything. Both attack and defence. When Spurs get on the front foot and press high teams struggle. Will be intresting to see how Spurs do against Teams like Man City .

Awesome video Dave! Never forget the front 3!

[@daveyfunk]

Strange how you still have Son on the left with this when he'd now be the obvious choice through the centre. Think Peresic is the more natural left winger in the squad and so could be an upgrade in that position. I'd like to see how Kulu fairs on the left if Johnson now would suit more naturally on the right

Sarr and Bissouma provided the platform for Maddison to shine. They do all the defending and Maddison can focus on finding pockets of space. It was abundantly clear when playing United. We desperately need Kobbie Mainoo to get healthy and then we need 2/3 Amrabat Mainoo and Casemiro. The 3rd CM changing btwn Bruno, Mount or Eriksen and Mount or Bruno playing wide right, inverting.

You lot love to shift expectations. Saying we will finish bottom table after Kane left, now put unrealistic expectations on us. So what if we leak goals against the top sides? The manager has been here for 2 months, employing a complete opposite style compared to the past 5 years at Spurs. A lot of new players in the starting XI. This is a rebuild year, who gives a fuck if we get beat by the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and City? We’ve been beating the teams we should be beating and if we continue to do that for the most part, as well as pick up a few results against the big 6 here and there we will be more than fine. It’s all new and it’s not going to be smooth sailing all season.
