De Zerbi’s system is brilliant but rotating against a strong Villa side was a gamble. Glad it paid off.
Criticism comes with the territory at a big club like Spurs. The football has been exciting to watch.
A win is a win in the Premier League. Other managers rotate too, nobody mentions it when they win.
De Zerbi has Tottenham playing the most entertaining football since Pochettino. Give him time to build.
