Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

This is so much more watchable than the 3 years of our last two managers.
The intense pressing and forward passing great to see.

VDV with his speed will compliment Romero's aggression well I feel.
 
Really poor pressing from Kane and Kulusevski there, allowing Shaktar to play out.

Kane, Kulusevski and Son are a really poor trio when it comes to pressing, which is a worry for this system.
That was pretty clear from last season. Ange can’t just be someone who says we want to play attacking front football. He needs to coach patterns of play. Hopefully with some more time we can. However ftom what I’ve seen so far we will still struggle to break teams down that sit deep. Neither son Kane or kulu are able to play against that as they don’t press. They are use yo having space on the counter., also royal offers nothing.
