It will be interesting to see if Spurs put the brakes on in their toughest test yet\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThis promises to be a north London derby with a difference – Tottenham might go for it with Ange Postecoglou in charge rather than Jose Mourinho or Antonio Conte.<\/p>\n
I’m not saying Spurs have more points than they would have done had Harry Kane stayed but I don’t think they would have been able to play Angeball in the same way.<\/p>\n
I’ve seen every Tottenham game this season. The trigger to press has been Richarlison or Son Heung-Min.<\/p>\n
Spurs constantly need their striker to go after people and it’s something Kane doesn’t do, he lacks the dynamism though of course has many other attributes.<\/p>\n
In that sense, selling the England captain to Bayern has been a blessing in disguise.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This promises to be a different type of North London Derby as Spurs might go for it with Ange Postecoglou in charge\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Now that Harry Kane is no longer at Spurs, they can play differently and press more\u00a0<\/p>\n
It’s given him carte blanche to play high-tempo, high-risk football and created less pressure in terms of expectation.<\/p>\n
If Kane had stayed, I don’t think it would have been a problem for Postecoglou, he’s an intelligent football man who would have adapted to get the best out of him. But it wouldn’t be the same style we’ve witnessed so far.<\/p>\n
The high press has been implemented with great success.<\/p>\n
Away to Arsenal is their biggest test yet and I’ll be fascinated to see if Spurs compromise and we see the handbrake on.<\/p>\n
I suspect not in which case we’ll be in for a humdinger between two in-form teams. PSV paid the price for having a go against Arsenal in midweek, but Postecoglou has better players than the Dutch side.<\/p>\n
I don’t think Kane will be jealous of the start Spurs have made. Footballer’s agendas move on quickly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
It will be interesting to see if Spurs compromise on their principles in their biggest test so far\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Kane would have loved to play with James Maddison, who is creating chances galore – but he won’t be dwelling on it\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yes, he would love to have played with James Maddison for the last couple of years but he’s got Jamal Musiala feeding him chances at Bayern so he won’t dwell on it.<\/p>\n
If Spurs win the FA Cup in May, there will be a pang of “that should have been me” as I felt when Liverpool won the Champions League in Istanbul the season I left.<\/p>\n
But largely Kane will be hoping his mates do the business at Arsenal.<\/p>\n
I hope Postecoglou sticks to what Spurs have done so far with the full-backs flying and the midfielders given license to get in the box.<\/p>\n
Arsenal have plenty of firepower too so there should be goals unless Postecoglu unexpectedly morphs into Conte. I can’t see it.<\/p>\n
