From walking on a tight rope due to recent poor result. And with the need to make amends, Pep knew the meaning of coin out short in todays fixture against Tottenham.
The spanish tactician come all out with what seems to be a befitting formation against 343 formation.
Pochettino enjoying a fine form of 6 wins knew he was not going to have it easy but a winning formation against a top side will be surely put to test
It was 4141 vs 343
What was more interesting is that the engine room of Tottenham of Wanyama and Dembele had De Bruyne and Silva to contend with and with Yaya Toure behind to clean up
The Battle in the middle was already lost. City were more into short passes in triangle and ring movement of passing. Sterling and sane had to stay wide to keep walker and rose busy, from taking hold of the middle to initiating sleek passing attacks dominating the game ensured two goal up for city but defensively they have been decent but not severely tested.
Pochettino made changes during second half and switched to back four to contain Sane, Sterling, Silva and De Bruyne
It was a move that made way for Son and Wimmer to the bench with wanyama coming falling deep as a CB
He was able to shut the spaces on Aguero, with that established Son and Alli were having free spaces to run into defensive channels of City unnoticed
This was consequence to Dele's goal
still city's back were found wanting with no exception from bravo
The game was levelled with a lovely assist from Kane who found Son who was unmarked in the City six yard box, their poor defending and positioning couldnt stop the equalizer, despite the intensifed attack from city spurs held on strong to see the game through.
