Summary of How Spurs can address their weakness when it comes to facing a low block by Tim Spiers writing for The Athletic

• Spurs have struggled to break down defensive-minded teams that sit deep recently, lacking imagination and tempo against Sheffield United and Liverpool.
• They don't get to the byline often to deliver crosses due to their inverted fullbacks and wide forwards. Their crossing accuracy has been poor.
• Players need to make more back post runs to get on the end of crosses and provide an attacking threat. Dejan Kulusevski in particular doesn't have this instinct.
• Combination play can help unsettle packed defenses, as seen on the winner against Liverpool. Quick interplay and runs in behind can create openings.
• Set pieces are another avenue Tottenham can improve on for goals, with specialist coach Gianni Vio having left. They scored many set piece goals last season.
• Head coach Ange Postecoglou will be working to address these issues on the training ground and tweak the tactics. More tempo, imagination and movement is needed against low blocks.
• If Spurs can score the first goal it may force teams to open up more, but they need other ways to break teams down if they can't get ahead early on.

In summary, better movement, crossing accuracy, combination play and set piece delivery could all help Tottenham be more effective against packed and deep defenses.
