Ange Postecoglou could not resist having a cheeky pop at Gary Neville
He said: “I do feel there is a flaw in the way they set up, however, it does come with some reward.
“What you have here is the two full-backs in midfield, in [Destiny] Udogie and [Pedro] Porro, what I didn’t like about the way that Spurs deployed this system is that when these two centre-backs here were on the ball I felt as though they didn’t have that simple pass wide in any, way shape or form.” Neville continued: “I see the benefit of this system, you isolate your wingers one v one. They have taken the United wide players in.
“So, from that point of view, I see the benefit of it. But from my point of view, you have players in a very uncomfortable position.”Bringing the full-backs inside has been a popular tactic since Pep Guardiola did it during his first season in charge of Manchester City. When asked about his tactics on TNT Sports, Postecoglou said: “There's no secret, I'm just copying Pep, mate.”
