    I’m glad you made such positive comments on Rodrigo Bentancur.

      Likewise. The plaudits have justifiably gone to Sonny, for a range of reasons. Beyond that, there has been a lot said about the introduction of Bissouma and the correlating switch of formation...also justified. But Bentancur's effort has gone more unnoticed. I think he's the type of player that this will often be the case, since he does a lot of what I'll call, for lack of a better word, "intangible" stuff. But he's pretty consistently calm on the ball, pretty consistently plays the simple pass to get us out of trouble and perhaps start an attack as well, and he's often the guy that picks the pocket of opposing team players who dawdle ont he ball too much (Ndidi, case in point). I was stroked for him to score a goal for his efforts!

    Leicester played that game like a cup final, which is fine. That can catch any team off guard. The problem is you can only keep up that energy for so long if you don't have the fitness and that Bentancur steal for the goal shows where the drop off started. It also didn't hurt having Son come off the bench with a point to prove. Great video as always.

    I would give anything for Conte to keep the 352, With the 3 in midfield we'd be so much better at controlling the centre of the pitch and possession, we're so reliant on the defence or forwards winning possession and the ball bypasses our midfield presence too often. Do you think Deki would be a good fit as a more advanced cm in a 352 midfield Ali? He sees himself as a number 10 and he can probably do a decent job at a hybrid 10/deeper role ahead of the other 2 CMs I reckon.

      Yes Kulu can play as a no10. 352 is the formation that Conte can play against the top teams or against teams that have a strong midfield. Son and Kane up top is destructive. Kane stays up top keeps the defenders busy allows Son to have room in behind also gets Son on the ball in central areas . Conte should have changed to 352 midweek against SP.

      Conte's 352 excited me because obviously Skippy can play in there, but so could Sarr (as the 6 or 8).
      It just seems like the Tottenham squad and where it has depth makes more sense in this formation.
      Richarlison should be better in the 2, Lucas can play up top or at wing back, and the lack of a classic CAM is not the issue people thought as the formation doesn't use one.

    I would love to see a 3-5-2 going forward. If Kulu can play as a CAM, RWB, and up front if needed with injuries the flexibility would be immense. It’s Conte’s preferred system but I was surprised to see Spurs not switch to it over this past summer. I think if the switch were to happen Spurs would likely need one more CM in January. Also gives 3 lethal options for a front 2. Would be interesting to see more 3-5-2 going forward but we’ll see with time

    Totally agree about Bentacur. As most fans I adore Sonny and am so happy he has shown up the doubters. I think he saw the gaps when he sat on the bench and just went for it.

    Our ball retention really needs to improve if we want to dominate teams and win games more comfortably. At times, we made a poor Leicester team look decent and it has been a common theme in most of our games this season. Too many balls out from the back to no one or players marked. Still unbeaten in the league so can't complain too much.

    An enjoyable watch and I am sure that all us Spurs were delighted to see Son come on and score a hattrick. Bentancur and Hojbjerg were immense. Dier was excellent and Sessegnon continues to improve, though, he should have done better with their equaliser, which made it 2-2. Shout-outs for all the goal scorers, and let's not forget Hugo's important saves, but all of that doesn't disguise the obvious weakness on our right-hand-side. Perisic started on the right but that didn't work. So, Conte switched the wingbacks and eventually brought on Emerson to give us a better balance. Richarlison and Perisic have slotted in well, but it's too early to judge Bissouma and Lenglet, though, both have undoubted quality and should be a success. On the plus side, it was good to see Conte make early substitutions. Good win. COYS.

  • @MrGamerz20
    @MrGamerz20 Před rokem

    Fantastic video again Alasdair! Lloris, Bentancur and Son played fantastic against Leicester. Bentancur is so underrated and his goal was a phenomenal interception from Ndidi and fantastic shot hitting the inside of the post. Sanchez played like Sanchez and overall Sessegnon didn’t impress me. I’m all for the 3-5-2 formation, Bissouma looked great in his cameo role. Things are looking up at Hotspur Way, despite the over the top Son fans who think he can do no wrong and hate Conte for benching him when he rightfully deserved it based on performance. I am thrilled he broke his goalless drought with a hat trick but he deserved to not start after his poor start to the campaign. I trust in Conte, the NLD away scares me but hopefully Spurs come out with energy and pace. COYS!!

    It's probably been mentioned or you will have looked it up since, but the term for the period of time where players are most at risk of being injured after too much game time is the 'critical zone'. Injury afficianados like Ben Dinnery on Twitter have done pieces on it in the past. Great video as always 👍

    I think your point about the extra protection it provides wingbacks makes me excited to see Doherty get up to speed. His off ball movement, link up play, and anticipation really shined at times last season. The added protection I think would help get a consistent tune out of him.

    Fitness coaches are worth their weight in gold. Having played at a decent level, the most notable difference in players was always the speed and fitness as the level got higher. Something always true in football is that relentless intensity wins games against less fit teams. We see it in giant killing FA cup matches all the time. The psychology of knowing that you can out run your opponent is conducive to a winning mentality.

  • @davidgrove9731

    We’ve rarely got out of first gear this season only played to our potential in snatches but remain unbeaten in the league.
    All top sides find a way, it’s highly encouraging not playing well and winning, sadly we’ve been down that other road all to often in the past.
    You can see what Conte is doing, trust the process, we are far from the finished article we’ll get there given time.

  • @geraldsmith3231
    @geraldsmith3231 Před rokem

    Can't argue with too much that you are saying. Always thought Sonny just needed a goal to go in I just felt he should have been rotated sooner for his sake as much as the team. I believe that Kane needs that rotation soon. My biggest issue with the team is this winning without playing well, I have been waiting all season to see some better flowing football, I was abroad for the Fulham game which is when we apparently were at our best.
    Love your Conteisms: pushing forward "in the right way" and at least a couple of "aspects".

    Hi Ali - the 352 comments make perfect sense with Kulu doing the RWB to still keep the 3 forwards in the team. Will you try ask this type of question to conte next as it seems a good opportunity after that game. With Romero playing and the extra midfield I think sufficient cover for kulu - could be our plan B way of playing when we need to adapt as we haven’t seen that too much yet, only the occasional tweaks in games like Marseille. Arsenal have been playing great football we must accept that and try not to get over run and try stop them playing

    I would agree with Conte last year when he said that 3-4-3 suited the players we had then....I think its different now, this season teams have worked out how to play against our system and this season our strikers have been weak at creating and taking chances...I feel with Bissouma we now have a midfield three that can compete and overpower anyone in the Premier league...nobody is going to run through those three players.....In the second half we had Pierre and Rodrigo bombing through the middle with Kane and Son on either side of them, it was great to see and their defence had no idea how to deal with them.We MUST play this system against Arsenal in our next game the last thing we need is to get overpowered in the middle of the pitch.

    Goldilocks, I take some life little lessons from events such as Son being benched.
    I can't remember when Son has been benched or rotated. He's been seen as a guaranteed starter, so it must have been like a humiliation to him.
    However, the incident that could have made his head drop became one of his greatest moment of triumph.
    If Son had started and scored a hat trick, it wouldn't have the same impact as a sub scoring 3 goals in 13 minutes spell.
    Mentality is important and how we respond to what we might perceive as adversity is also very important.

  • @louloutri
    @louloutri Před rokem

    I can’t disagree with anything you said. Spot on on everything. Like what you said about Sonny before yesterday’s game. It did happen indeed. I love your suggestion of a midfield of 3 with Bissouma, with Deki as our right wingback. I think that would be perfect for the NLD which will be very tough, no doubt about that. I loved what you said about Antonio, yes he is THE man for us, and Levy knows it too, which is great cause the club will back all his decisions, so if he feels that, he will stay with us.
    Last thing : congrats to your daughter for her 1 st year at university.
