Aftermath of Birmingham Defeat
It would be easy to focus on the negatives from Sunday's crushing defeat. Conceding a late goal again, losing Keane for 3 more matches, losing Bale for who knows how long.
Interesting, though, has been the a change in formation and strategy that Ramos has been employing recently. This Guardian article recounts some of the recent aggressive attacking play of Spurs, likening it to Mourinho's start at Chelsea. Not only has Ramos started three strikers, but he has also moved Bale into attack, played Lennon at right back for a stretch, and juggled our defensive line.
One thing is for certain: while shortcomings at center back and defensive midfield have forced his hand, Ramos is adapting, playing Spurs' best players and emphasizing their strengths until defensive reinforcements can arrive.
