A team, therefore a coach is only able to do what the available squad’s talent is capable of. No more. There are no magicians in football. Guardiola is special because he is constantly able to maximize his squad.

But he needs good and healthy players. Like every coach.

Yes, it is about Guardiola and Manchester City.

He’s not the fastest guy, but such a complete striker profile.

In a few years, Delap will explode at a big club that is more dominant and able to create chances for him to a greater extent.

Maresca changed in the half, bringing on Malo Gusto for Lavia. Caicedo in the midfield, Badiashile on his natural side.

In the 2nd half Chelsea were able bypass Spurs’s press and much more easily found the the free man during build-ups.

And there were occasions when Chelsea were able to find Enzo or Palmer in the first half (31th minute before Palmer's and Neto's chance). But they gave away the ball too much in their own half. There were too many transitions, which suits Spurs' and Postecoglou's playstyle better than their own.

They’re giving up one of their sides. Since the first 15-20 minutes Sanchez has been going long most of the times, but that could not be sustained.

It you want to know why Brentford’s owner, Matthew Benham would want his team to attack under all circumstances: www.thetimes.com/sport/footba...

Speaking purely “statistically”, retreating after scoring a goal doesn’t make sense. It’s human behaviour, defending what you already have.

In their first two seasons in the Premier League, Brentford were a more pragmatic team. They tried to capitalize on the smaller margins that bigger teams might not have focused on as much as Brentford did.
