Spurs have been transformed from a team that was cavalier in its attitude, quickly and aggressively playing forward passes, to one which is now scared to take risks. There were too many occasions where Donyell Malen and Rogers pressured Kevin Danso and Archie Gray into playing backwards.
They seem to be kicking the ball longer than ever before. It is a tactic which did not work when Richarlison, a natural centre-forward, was trying to reach Kinsky’s passes against Liverpool and it was even less successful with Son failing to get anywhere near Aston Villa’s makeshift centre-backs, Boubacar Kamara and Lamar Bogarde.
