Tottenham’s dynamic ‘Angeball’ tactics will ease the pain of Harry Kane’s exit 🔎 Analysis by OMyles90 via iPaperSport THFC
Spurs were the most passive team in the league under Antonio Conte, ranking bottom of the league in 2022-23 for high turnovers . The top three for that metric were Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, suggesting it is a strategy worth trying to emulate.and Spurs were noticeably more dynamic than at any point last season. There were numerous occasions when all 10 of Spurs’ outfield players were positioned inside Brentford’s own defensive third.
It was a risky tactic considering both of Brentford’s centre forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa can eat up ground quickly, which is perhaps why Postecoglou felt compelled to start the speedy Micky van de Ven straight away. It’s a high-risk meets high-reward strategy that the Australian will expect to yield more goals for than against.
Bissouma and Maddison were the most influential performers for the visitors. It didn’t take long for the club’s new No 10 to make an impact, Maddison’s first assist coming after just 10 minutes courtesy of a venomously struck free-kick that was met by an airborne Cristian Romero. Perhaps the only benefit to losing Kane is that they no longer have to watch him smash free-kicks into the wall.
He set up the second too, smuggling the ball into Emerson Royal’s path to rifle in Spurs’ equaliser just before the break. Maddison created six chances in total, including that pair of assists, which was three times more than any other player on the pitch.If Maddison is the brain of this team, Bissouma looks set to become its heartbeat. The Malian had more touches , completed the most passes and attempted the highest number of dribbles of any player on the pitch.
