Spurs New Manager: 5 Reasons Why Glen Hoddle Should Replace AVB

4. Clear Attacking Tactics

Hoddle would bring something that Tottenham fans crave - a commitment to exciting attacking football. The problem Villas-Boas had for many Spurs fans was his insistence on a slow possession-based style of play, which was short on goalmouth action - at least in the opposition's penalty area. All too often Roberto Soldado, since his £26 million move from Valencia, has been left isolated up front, as his team-mates have simply played keep-ball with no end product. Hoddle, as we can remember from Euro 96, was able to get Alan Shearer and Teddy Sheringham playing some stunning football. Surely he can coax something better out of Soldado and Jermaine Defoe, as Tottenham's midfield is by no means lacking in creative talent. Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen are players that would excite Hoddle, as both are capable of more than they have shown so far this season. One would also imagine the pace of Aaron Lennon is something Hoddle would certainly let loose on the opposition far more than AVB did. There was much confusion in the Tottenham style of play this season. A slow approach, with slow defenders such as Michael Dawson, should not be married to a high defensive line. As shown by Liverpool's destruction, players are caught flat-footed by such an approach, and Luis Suarez will always make you pay. Also, where was the pressing? Such flaws are something that Hoddle, an avid student of the game, would no doubt be happy to point out. For all his artistry on the field, and knowledge of tactics however, there have been questions over Hoddle's man-management skills. Perhaps now, at the age of 56, he will be more capable in this area?
