#3 Mauricio Pochettino’s ability to adapt
Mauricio Pochettino has established himself as a top manager for how his teams play, and the way he develops young players, but not many people speak about how he adapts to certain situations. He can adapt his style and his players to certain situations; for example, he set his Spurs side up against Manchester City and Chelsea in a completely different way to how he set them up against sides who sit deep like Middlesbrough and Hull, and that’s a testament to his adaptability.
This injury to Kane will throw up some problems for Spurs and for Pochettino, but the Argentinian will have a trick or two up his sleeve. Thankfully for Tottenham, they only have one fixture before the international break, which will give Pochettino the chance to sort his side out and figure out the perfect way to set up without Harry Kane.
Whether it be with Vincent Janssen up top with Eriksen and Alli behind him or Alli and Son together, Pochettino will know what suits his side best and will know how to defeat the opponents in the next few weeks.
A few good weeks for Spurs, and that could see them solidify second place in the Premier League, and they may even end up in the final of the FA Cup final.
