4:16 "postecoglu is insane" might me the most accurate assessment of his tactical mindset 😂

10 days 9 points nobody ever believed.

Great video as usual👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I've really appreciated Postecoglu's attacking structure, with the four players behind the front three. I've also noticed that, once Arsenal's started to defend in an extremely low block; very compact and basically dropping 10 men behind the line of the ball; Romero's joined the front line; leaving only Van de Ven and another man, prefarably one of the pivots. I have the feeling that the decision to move so many players so high up the pitch, occupying the offensive final third, has crammed that portion of the pitch, ending up obstructing the spaces in the front for Tottenham. And i think Arteta's made a great countermove, by dropping the whole of the squad way deeper and closing or reducing all the passing lines. It was a great tactical battle, between two brilliant managers.

When pep leaves arteta runs this league

Besides the obvious mistake that led to the first Spurs goal, I think this was another game which highlighted why Arteta wanted Havertz and especially chose Raya over Ramsdale. Raya kicked the ball deep fairly often in this game, and Arsenal was able to get possession deep in the Spurs half when that happened. Kicking deep to Saka seemed to yield the most success as Saka did a nice job fielding and holding the ball. Raya is good at this and that was something Arteta had the team work on a lot in preseason. Unfortunately for Ramsdale this isn’t really an area of strength in his game (although he does most of the traditional aspects of goalkeeping well).

As an Arsenal fan I loved seeing Ange do well. Now we need him to bring his A game when he plays city.

I was more nervous for this game than the Chelsea game. Great win! COYG!

We have to give credit to the originator of this 442 defensive format that overloads the middle and leave the wide men opponents, and that is diego simeone...very disciplined to not be dragged wide because the wide men will still come to the middle..what ange is doing is similar to barca under pep but even that barca team couldn't break athletico easily because of this same defensive system

[Kobble]

Gabriel is so damn good in each phase of defending

[marvelousmusampofu]

I concur, tactically pretty even. Postecoglou lost it on Set piece defending. Spurs were supposed to put someone on Ben White during corner kicks so that he doesn't distruct Vicario who didn't seem to have much command of the 6 yard area so White's presence made it worse

Trying to recreate arteta and ange on fm is an absolute nightmare lmao

Tottenham will be scary next season with more quality
The non stop speed with which they play makes them scary when they have the right players

I think a trick Ange missed in this game is instead of inverting Ben Davies he should have played him hugging the touchline and should have moved to a 4 2 1 3 with the wide forwards receiving between the lines and the pivots of not Hojberg and Bentancur but Bissouma and Bentancur. Where ideally Bisoumma could have come deep alongside the two centre-backs and been this ball carrier through the press and Bentancur and Maddinson could have easily still been maintaining the double pivot. The limitations of Ben Davis was exposed and Ange should have not put Brennan Johnson on the wing. This system would have been helpful with clever positional movements because Ben Davies can always drop deep if need be. Moving Son out wide should have been implemented much earlier given him 1v1 abilities

[farizwish]

If Ange has at least 2 CBs and a DM who are fast, solid and tall (example: Saliba, Gabriel and Rice) then this risky tactics with high line and commit a lot of players forward might work.. And i'm surprised even though Arteta knew he would play counterattack, he didn't play a fast player like Martinelli from the start..

[Mersey]

Biggest positive for spurs is van de ven ...bro s got a real raw pace ....outpaced martinelli couple of times

[GuyJames]

I've only seen the highlights but Spurs were 0-3 down within just over half an hour and this video is almost making it seem like Ange got it right tactically. I'd hate to see what happened if he got it wrong then! Ok they got back into the game to some extent but it seems to be giving him a bit too much credit. Also Van de Ven is going to get injured again if his tactics involve two at the back forced to constantly chase back. In the same way I don't think Man U's injury crisis is only down to bad luck; having to constantly chase back in a panic probably puts a lot of stress on the players' bodies.

[sigfigronath]

Spurs were really good and very much better at second balls and pressing, makes sense since they have like 20 days to rest and prepare.
Ofcourse Arsenal being clinical and exploiting weaknesses made them the winners...

[lindilebangose]

So all in all he pressed the wrong center back. Saliba is Mr cool and I saw him dribble past maddison and Son a couple of times. But then again it doesnt matter which defender you press, with Havertz and Saka 1v1 against Davies we always had the option to bypass the press.
