Can I get a Left-Back up in Here?: Spurs v Sunderland Tactical Preview

Well, there’s ninety minutes of the 2012/13 season left, and Champions League football might not be in our hands, but you can’t say that Tottenham haven’t given it a damn good go. If Tottenham win against Sunderland at White Hart Lane but don’t qualify for the Champions Leauge, they’ll have still finished the season on 72 […]

Mad Craachy’s Black Apalachi: Stoke v Tottenham Tactical Preview

Stoke play with a totally different nature to the rest of the Premier League, they are very aggressive and direct, they are in your face. It is a style that has brought them success so it is not up to me to condemn them. But it is easier to cope with now I have played […]

But for whatever reason Tottenham never quite settled into [...]

DW, We Got This: Wigan v Spurs Tactical Preview

The Latics carry themselves with a swagger that’s just a little bit different to every other team in the Premier League. From their continental 3-5-2 formation (more on that later) that is unlike anything else in the league, to [...]

Spurs v Man City: Quick Tactical Preview

It feels like an age since Tottenham last played, doesn’t it? In footballing terms, it almost has been an age.
