1-2 players may change but the overall plan won't change, it hasn't all season and we'll get absolutely slaughtered. That isn't a reaction to today either, i had this opinion before today.
The thing with Spurs is they're able to mix it up, they have pacy wingers and offensive fullbacks that can put in great balls and get plenty in the box to support but they also play some good football on the deck through the middle with Dembele, Erkisen and Alli, quick incisive high tempo passing with actual movement off the ball. I'm far more worried about Otamendi being given the run around than MDM. They'll entice him out of the back, have him chase the ball to nearly the halfway line and then play a simple pass into the vacated chasm for one of their midfield runners. they're also capable of hitting on the counter and playing it direct if necessary. Pochettino is every Pellegrini isn't and has a vastly inferior squad playing football we can only faintly recall.
Was quite surprised the boo's didn't ring out today, i think they just might after next weeks game. Have zero confidence in our manager and i've not been less confident going into a game since pre-takeover days.
