Two Tottenham players who have proved Antonio Conte can repeat key Mauricio Pochettino tactic

Tottenham's style of play under Antonio Conte has been a big talking point in recent months. Not exactly easy on the eye and perceived by some as rather negative compared to other teams, Spurs fans would love nothing more than to see their team winning games playing attractive, free-flowing football.

Conte and his Spurs side have demonstrated that this is possible, notably hitting five against Everton, Norwich City and Newcastle United and four away at Leeds United and Aston Villa last season. Tottenham have been unable to reach the levels they showed in the final few months of 2021/22 this season but the hope is that it will all come together in the second part of the campaign.

Dejan Kulusevski's return from injury should help matters, with the Swede looking incredibly sharp following his return to Premier League action last month. Another aspect of Tottenham's style of play that many have pointed out is their lack of a high press, especially compared to the past.
