Tottenham Hotspur Pre-North London Derby Challenges: Fatigue, Intensity and Tactics

Ange Postecoglou faces a significant task in preparing Tottenham Hotspur for the upcoming North London Derby against Arsenal, following a lackluster performance against Newcastle. The squad exhibited fatigue and a lack of intensity, particularly in midfield where the balance has been difficult to achieve.

Postecoglou aims to instill bravery in possession and movement, urging his players to take more risks. Additionally, he must find ways to maximize the impact of key players like Son Heung-min and address defensive vulnerabilities particularly in dealing with set pieces.

The match against Arsenal presents an opportunity for Tottenham to bounce back but improvements are needed across multiple areas to secure a positive result.
