Spurs played a very peculiar 11: 9 of the 10 outfield were defenders or defensive midfielders. They had a number of injuries - Richarlison, Son, Kulusevski all out. Conte plays so on the margins that he can't very well survive the few goalscorers in his system being out and retreats back into full on attrition football.
Will shape up to be a very different season post-World Cup. Liverpool will likely benefit from the full backs and Salah getting 6 weeks off. Spurs will get players back as well. 3 pts at Fulham becomes vital next week to maintain some distance from the pack before season pt. 2 starts.
