Pace is the one thing you can use against the Pochettino -
Spud high pressing tactic, and it will easily defeat that, causing the Spuds to use a lot of energy for no gain, so they can be easily picked off later in the game.
3 teams have done this to us this year, Dortmund, Liverpool and
spuds away have all
pressed us at a
high tempo, we struggle with it massively.
When our opposition do this then we are like little girls, we can't handle
high energy,
high intensity and
high pressing football from the opposing team, we always struggle (Dortmund, Liverpool, Anderlecht, Besiktas, Monaco home,
Spuds, Southampton away, etc..).
