Tottenham beat 10-man Crystal Palace 2-0 for a third straight Premier League win, the first in 616 days, with 79% of the ball and 34 shots. On A Coach's View, A Licence coach JJ explains why Spurs dominate games under Roberto De Zerbi but still struggle to create clear chances from open play.
Jim and JJ go through Jean-Philippe Mateta's red card for the challenge on Micky van de Ven, whether Spurs need a different profile of striker, and how much it matters not having Savio or James Maddison on the pitch against a low block. Then the most improved players under De Zerbi, from Archie Gray and Mateus Fernandes to Mathys Tel, Jan Paul van Hecke and Micky van de Ven, and why Sandro Tonali is the one player JJ would keep fit all season.
Thanks to Roston for the question on breaking down a low block.
