After Spurs parted ways with yet another manager, I look at the top 5 peformances of Andre Villas-Boas from a tactical viewpoint.
Andre Villas-Boas
Spurs 0 Liverpool 5: high line, triangles, Suarez and press give AVB stress
Our high line was abused by the Reds’ pressing, use of triangles and Luis Suarez darting in behind as it finishes Spurs 0 Liverpool 5 at the Lane.
Spurs lying deeper in wait?
The infamous high line and pressing are integral to the tactics of Andre Villas-Boas at Spurs, but are we starting to see these become less aggressive?
Could we be seeing an end to our inverted wingers?
Out of all the debris in our defeat at the Etihad, one thing of note was that we lined up without inverted wingers. Could this signal the end of the system?
Should Spurs use a back three against 4-4-2?
With Spurs set to face Man City, Man Utd and Liverpool who all deploy two strikers, should we move to a back three against sides playing 4-4-2?
How Roberto Soldado will change Spurs
Daniel Levy spent a club record £26 miliion to bring Roberto Soldado to White Hart Lane, but how will the Spaniard change Spurs’ style of play this season?
Just how clinical are Spurs?
Only four teams scored more than Spurs last season, but just how clinical were we in front of goal during our first term with Andre Villas-Boas in charge?
Who would be better for Spurs, Christian Benteke or Loic Remy?
Christian Benteke and Loic Remy have both been linked with Spurs, but which one would be a better fit in Andre Villas-Boas’ system?
Are Spurs better defensively under AVB?
High lines, sweeper keepers and pressing. After his first full season in charge at the Lane, are Spurs better defensively with AVB in charge?
