Swapped Aguero out of my fantasy:mjcry: and put DeBruyne:mjgrin:. Spurs pressing is impressive.
Very impressive but unsustainable; you can't play that way for 90 minutes.

They couldn't even keep it up for 45 mins - they were gassed after 35.

Chelsea took over after they tired themselves out. They scored 2 and could have had a few more before they went defensive around around 75 mins.

Pep uses pressing in combination with suffocating possession which allows his team to rest and make the other team do the chasing. The other alternative is the Dortmund style under Klopp but the team needs to be 2 or 3 up when they tire out.

Pochettino is slowly losing it

Imagine if Kane didn't get injured and Son didn't go on his streak of MOTM performances early on.

Tottenham would be mid table.

Think it's important to clear up that the pressing systems each have different cues for when they need to press.

It's not like they're swarming all game.

I'd attribute Tottenham's poor start so far to not having Alderwield there, Dier is having a mixed season so too are Eriksen and Kane.

These fukking little shyt teams give these other big clubs wins/goals. When United come to town they play like their lives depend on it.
