Noticed it only just now, but Spurs have created a super nice pattern of play down the right hand side which enables Pape Sarr to get on the blindside of players giving him acres of space on the right. We saw it early on from this game against Palace.
A 1-2 is played out wide with the return pass going back inside usually engaging the opposition CB, this is where Pape springs into action and gets his legs going to attack the open space on the right. The goal against Villa on Sunday is a great example, if not the best.

@TheSpursScout I’ve noticed how often wingers come down and to receive in build up. Kind of reminds me of how we used to play under Conte with the 10s. Is this like a last resort type of thing, or more fundamental you think? I imagine Ange would ideally want them to stay high and wide, no?
@TheSpursScout We seem to do very few cutbacks in that position. The much easier pass is behind the striker - we don't like playing it.
@TheSpursScout How do you sleep at night knowing you gave away our secret
@TheSpursScout I love seeing Vicario standing there, waiting, daring, picking the moment.
@TheSpursScout Sarr as the runner, Kulu wide and deeper, Porro and the DM rotating between RB and RCM is perfect against high blocks. Porro can go route 1, they can combine and release Pape- like here, or overload the right and find Madders btl with Brennan and Sonny running in behind.
