This looks like a great analysis of our team, albeit it has been translated from French:
http://analysport.fr/tottenham-en/
I'm not so sure. There was a lot of text book "Poch" stuff rehashed from various articles throughout the season. Spurs play out from the back…Dier drops between the CB's….is never leaving 4231 showing great tactical ability ? I suppose you can show great tactical ability within a a very formulaic system, it's certainly not showing a lot of tactical flexibility though.
I have so far got as far as this line:
"Dele Alli is by far the best in playing between the lines and turning while receiving the ball"
I think this is utter bollocks written by someone who's possibly watched about 1 full Spurs game all season or just watched Alli's England game.
Eriksen does this about 30 times more a game than any of our other AM's, Alli probably the least best at this of all our first choice 3 AM's, invariably Alli's link up play was clumsy or at worst non existent for long spells, what Alli was best at when played as AM in our system was getting into advanced areas and making something happen.
I'll read the rest later...
