Toppo5I find the Tottenham style under pochettino my favourite because of its all round effectiveness. I hear a lot about how his players will tire after 70 mins or so but barca wouldn't be successful without playing this way. Arsenal have been admired for a long time playing good football like tottenham but case in point haven't won the title in over decade as the players reflect the managers desire to play without pressing Tottenham come along play possession football which Arsenal get criticised for but also tight defending which Chelsea under mourinho got criticised for combined with pressing despite being new and young and could win the title. Leicester play down the sides or through Kantes runs vardy and mahrez drop deep quick one twos sit back far too deep despite being lauded for opening up defences it Can come across ineffective compared to Tottenham. Man U under fergie quick runs one after another bombarding width and crosses came unstuck against barca. Pochettino came from Spain to England and eventually has taken a team based on minimal funds with a weak mentality and has suddenly stamped his philosophy in no time. As for van gaal slow possession reliant on geniuses or else. Klopp too many gaps at the back. Real Madrid Barcelona Munich reliant on geniuses again. I'd be interested to see if any one else equally respects pochettinos Tottenham style more than any other like myself.
