Tottenham improved when they swapped one of their wingers out on Saturday — is that a clear issue?
When thinking about Spurs at their fluent best this season, the first image that comes to mind is of the team playing with two rapid wingers fizzing in low crosses for the other, or the centre-forward, to get on the end of. It was playing this way, in December and January, when it looked like things had clicked up front. And, as we know from his previous jobs, this is very much how Ange Postecoglou likes his teams to attack.
But he was very open about why Kulusevski was less effective in the first half. “We felt that in the first half, Deki was probably coming inside a little bit too much and we felt that Timo was getting some opportunities and if we got Brennan on that he could equally be a threat,” Postecoglou said. “I thought both wingers in the second half were outstanding.” He also explained that while Johnson and Kulusevski may be different stylistically, that doesn’t change what he asks of his wide players.
