Southampton started the first half kick-off. George devised his strategy against Tottenham. Compared to Leicester, George found Tottenham easier to deal with. The reason, Tottenham was very lacking in teamwork. In the few games, Tottenham had been analyzed. Their weak point was in midfielders. Christian Eriksen was not able to handle his duties as the core of the game.
Eriksen was typically a constructive rather than creative midfielder. Eriksen rarely made long-range passes like Moric did, but he often made short passes to organize the team. It was a shame that Tottenham's strategy was the opposite of Eriksen's ability. This was a tactical mistake made by Andre-Villa Boas.
