We’re joined by Kish from LilywhiteLab to break down how De Zerbi’s Tottenham is taking shape, and why the Chelsea performance showed far more than the highlights could capture.
We discuss Fernandes unlocking Tonali, Maddison pulling opponents out of position, and why technical centre-backs are essential to making it all work. There’s also Kinsky’s bravery on the ball, Kudus giving us a way out of the press, and the joy of watching wingers who actually take their man on.
But with Spurs increasingly controlling games, who turns that dominance into goals? We examine Solanke’s role, the challenge of breaking down deeper defences and where the next major signing might be needed.
