So....here is why Lo Celso is a HUGE singing for Spurs. Spurs are amazing at exploiting weaknesses of teams under Pochettino. However, they can/are incredibly pedestrian when looking to break down deep blocks who don’t budge. They play chess. Pass, stop, pass, stop etc etc
However, when Winks plays, this improves markedly as he’s so quick to pass and move at angles. This retains pressure, keeps ball moving at pace, pulls defences apart, however he’s not the final pass player
So surely Eriksen/Alli are the ones to exploit the gaps Winks can create? Except they’re the biggest culprits of the ‘pass, stop, pass, stop football’. They’re not players to play one touch, incisive pass and move football in tight areas. However...Lo Celso is...end of thread 😉
For the record, Alli is brilliant at the creative one touch passes and flicks. But it’s rarely on the move, and more often than not, he will receive the ball and slow tempo. Those flicks aren’t a staple point of how Spurs create chances. There a rare and brilliant piece of play
