Tactical issues Mauricio Pochettino must address: Defence

Mauricio Pochettino has to look at the tactics involved with our defence before the new season kicks off and address a number of issues.

Mauricio Pochettino needs to look at Spurs attitude to pressing in greater depth to give the side an identity this season.

The arrival of Kieran Trippier at Spurs is another wise move to fit our system, further highlighting the good work of Paul Mitchell.

Toby Alderweireld confirmed his £11.5 million transfer from Atletico Madrid and his arrival at Spurs will change the dynamic of our back line.

A dubious high line puts us on the back foot, but attacking their left side sees our Premier League clash finish Southampton 2-2 Spurs at St. Mary’s.

Substitutions and having a Plan B are two issues that Mauricio Pochettino needs to improve upon if he is going to make progress as Tottenham coach.

Errors have been creeping in to our play recently, so we take a statistical and tactical look at the state of our defence under Mauricio Pochettino.
