Andros Townsend noted Tottenham's improvement in limiting counter-attacking opportunities, particularly against Chelsea, as a positive development in their performance. Townsend attributed this to Roberto De Zerbi's influence on the team. Tottenham's pressing structure has been good throughout the season, according to Townsend. The team's ability to keep the ball and limit counter-attacks has shown improvement since the start of the season.
Tottenham's recent performances have shown significant defensive improvements, with the team conceding just four goals in their last six Premier League games. The team's xG conceded ratio is also among the lowest in the league. Roberto De Zerbi praised his team's defensive performance against Coventry, noting they didn't concede any counter-attacks. The Italian manager highlighted that Coventry's style of play is 80 per cent counter-attack.
Tottenham's overall performance has been improving week by week since the start of the season, with the team picking up back-to-back wins against Coventry City and Chelsea. The wins have significantly improved their position in the table, with the team now just three points behind sixth place. A potential challenge for European qualification now looks within reach for the Lilywhites. The team's control in and out of possession has been a key factor in their improved performance.
