Leeds tomorrow will be a really interesting test for Spurs' new 'brave' approach in possession. They will press us really high (lowest PPDA in league), and I imagine they will likely be even more intense to test this very much in development approach we are now taking under Mason
When we played them last time, they pressed us with more intensity than their average (5.35 v 7.28), which i imagine was more to do with the fact we had no set possession structures and it was easy to force us long and for them to regain
This time, I would guess we will have more of the ball than the 37% we had when we beat them 3-0 and it is vital we have options to break the press, whether as a team through possession structures or individually. To help with the latter, it would be good to see Ndombele start
