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

10 days 9 points nobody ever believed.

When pep leaves arteta runs this league

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.

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).

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

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

Gabriel is so damn good in each phase of defending

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

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

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

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

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..

Great explanation

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.

Aside once video analyzer What software did u used for ur board analysis??

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...

4:26 This is exactly what Expressions was going on about. "High line like Sadio Mane"😂😂😂

simple and precise analysis without many side stories, i enjoyed it

Postecoglu as coach is extremely good. Seeing him implementing that tactic is just insane.

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.

Banger match, tottenham need a set piece coach yesterday. Arsenal might only finish 2nd but they deserve 1st, going to come down to the wire.

This is the toughest match I've watched Al season. Both managers and players showed strength, resilience, will to win and fight, character and spiritt. They both deserved to win. I give arterta ~ 9.5 and postcoglou ~ 9.5

Good analysis - much better than the BS Naive rhetoric and lack of understanding that is pervasive

As a United fan let be honest at this rate arsenal are gonna win the league in the next 5 years

Amazing analysis.

Spurs honestly making Raya look like prime Neur especially those abject average crosses from Johnson that Raya was just collecting ffs 😒

You can take more time if that helps you to create more quality videos, cos I don't understand what this is

why did you private the vid man?

If we can get more signings for the next season, and Ange can tweak his tactics a bit especially on defense, I think Spurs can have a better chance next time around.

❤❤❤

Partey is press-resistant.

Why don't you do other leagues🤔

Considering TOT had full week to prep for this game, their performance was not good

Be”N”tancur. Otherwise great video.

the whole PL is just many teams trying to play the game of 1 team. Guardiola is the Master

I want spurs to beat city so much I’d even wear a spurs jersey to support them on the day 🫣

❤️👏👏👏❤️

Arsenal and Newcastle beat Spurs with low possession. They used fast counter attacks with spurs high press this is their only weakness.

I like your fair assessment of both teams. Arsenal won but they would have conceded if the game went on a few more minutes. Spurs were also unlucky with Van De Ven's goal being ruled out and Romero's header hitting the bar. It was a great game overall.

As you rightly said, Ange is crazy. I think he believes this is the Australian league😂. How can I seasoned coach fail to adapt in a league as competitive as the epl? Playing high line and only thinking of attacking in every game is lame,and has become Spurs Achilles heel. The question is when is Ange going to learn? Ability to adapt, game by game, is what sets Arteta above Ange. Thanks for a wonderful analysis

So its Ange's mistake after all.

All city have to do is loose a point and it's over for them

think arsenal will break last season score points

This might have been closer than the last north London derby

Ange did well and outplayed Arteta tactically even though Arsenal goals came from the set-piece masterclass and an individual error from Hojbjerg but this shows how Poch tactically is outdated and useless

Spurs will win something under Ange

Who tf goes full out mojo attack with davies making a run into the box..... 😂😂😂😂absolute joke... Even tactically... No way sorry you are just overhyping Ange making a defender run inside instead of a forward... Leaving just 2 ppl at the backline to defend....i would have never hired this guy as my manager... Some Tottenham fans do ok fine but whenever i see ange i don't feel any aura or class from him... One dimension monotonous aggressive manager thats it

Michael Oliver MOTM

the most obvious thing to me is that Arteta's system is near perfect, but his backline is formed of children picking up the ball in open play, drinking water outside the field in open play, Raya can't make a right pass, they're full of unprofessional mistakes yet they barley concede anything it's ironic

Spurs got robbed

I think Arsenal will win the league.

Arteta as won 1 FA cup game in 4 and a half years, spent 800 million just to bottle it for the third year in a row and give fans false hope . Manchester City will win the title. The three biggest bottle jobs all belong to Arsenal Arsenal and Arsenal. Mikel Arteta is learning on the job at Arsenal - his first training station. #Artetaout

TOTTENHAM GOT ROBBED!! 2 of the 3 arsenal goals shouldn't of stood. Foul on kuluskevski and push in the back for the own goal. fact

Arsenal cannot win the league😅😅

All city have to do is loose a point and it's over for them
