I love watching Spurs, and as Ange said, 'Are you not entertained?' But surely, there has to be a tactical tweak to prevent the same pattern occurring, especially at 3-1/3-2. Porro jumps to Dalot (LWB) and leaves a huge hole behind him for Garnacho (left forward) to exploit.
Without any tactical shift in players positioning, the players are asked to cover huge distances to find their mark. Porro to Dalot/ Sarr to Garnacho. We have seen the centre-backs take responsibility for the position Garnacho takes, leading to an unstable structure.
And I would guess it's related to the injuries that are occurring at centre-back, with muscle injuries to Romero, Van de Van and Davies. Sarr takes the strain of the long distances in the second half as Porro jumps.
This is where the entertainment comes from. The high-risk, high-reward pressing is a joy to watch. But can it take Spurs to the next level? Arne Slot gives a lot away in his interviews. Manipulating his shape to create larger distances for the opponent to cover = more time on the ball.
