Here's part 4 from a 5 part series of my seasonal tactical analysis using 13 specific game case studies looking at Pochettino at Spurs. This fourth piece focuses on our Capital One Cup final loss vs Chelsea (0-2) and our loss away at Old Trafford vs Manchester United (0-3) which also makes an interesting comparison to the tactics used by Andre Villas-Boas when playing against a target man.

Here's part 5, the final part of my 5-piece series of my seasonal tactical analysis using 13 specific game case studies looking at Pochettino at Spurs. This final piece looks at our end of season run, featuring the loss vs Aston Villa (0-1), the draw vs Southampton (2-2) and our win vs Hull (2-0). This piece includes an insight into various fitness issues facing our young squad and offers an explanation to our inconsistent form near the end of the season.

A heavy read, not for the faint hearted (The piece as a whole was 22,219 words).

I hope you enjoyed this series as much as I enjoyed producing it!

If you want to follow me on Twitter, do so @LukeBBurgess, from my profile I'll post any further analysis I do this summer.

Are you doing any coaching licenses etc? Or just a hobby?

22,000 is mad dedication mate, I tried to do one once, got to 10,000, covering 6 games, then got bored :/

Not read it yet but I'm saving it for when I've sent the kids to bed. Thank you for the effort. If it's not good I'll post comments under the name TheBlogRipper

Thanks for doing these they are fantastic.

The Stoke game was the turning point for Pochettino I feel. If he had stuck with Kaboul, Capoue and Ade beyond that day I fear he wouldn't be here now.

Do you fancy coming over and saving my job on Football Manager?

@LukeBB - I had a quick look through- do you conclude that Capoue is shite?

LukeBb I've been an avid reader of yours ever since you first appeared a year or so ago and genuinely miss your weekly match analysis that always seemed to make everything so much clearer for me. Here you've gone ahead and done your version of War and Peace, part 1, which for those statistically inclined (B.C. for one) I'm sure they'll be as happy as the proverbial pig in shit.
Well done young man and I hope your career in football journalism is beginning to take off

I come to conclude that he severely struggles when the opposition make plans for him which forces him to make some odd decisions.

Have very little interest in journalism, a coach and only a coach is what I want to be.

Currently doing my FA level 2 award, then I hope to go to Southampton Solent Uni who will help pay for my UEFA B application.

So is it just me, or do all 3 graphs depicting the average position of each player (as presented at the start of each match review) show a too wide gap (on average) between the AM 3 and the – what's the correct football hipster term – double pivot?
