Does Ten Hag play the RR way? I've read conflicting things on this and haven't watched Ajax play enough. I asked this question a few days ago and didn’t get an answer…anybody care to enlighten us? |

Stolen from another site, Re: Style of play
As you can see, it was from the time Spurs sacked Jose, hence the references.
Ten Hag is very much committed to a high-pressing, quick-passing, possession-heavy style of football based upon the ideas espoused by Johan Cruyff and his natural heir Pep Guardiola, with whom Ten Hag worked in his capacity as Bayern Munich reserve team boss from 2013 until 2015.
Importantly, though, Ten Hag’s Ajax have never had only one way of playing. In the Dutch league, when faced with sides that sit back and defend, Ten Hag will encourage his team to use the wide men, generating two-on-ones down the flanks by pushing his full-backs up the pitch. In European football, when playing teams that come onto them and leave space in central areas, they look to play with combinations through the middle, as they did in the 2018-19 Champions League campaign with the fantastically talented midfield of Donny Van De Beek and Frenkie De Jong.
Unlike Mourinho, Ten Hag also has a very clear strategy in attack. He sets out specific patterns and works on pre-determined passing movements that will help his players advance the ball on the pitch. That is something that the players would likely welcome after the give-it-to-Harry-or-Son-and-hope attacking plan that predominated under the Portuguese coach. In true Dutch style, Ten Hag also encourages his players to swap positions to draw markers and create space, whether they are wide or central.
In terms of formation, Ten Hag favours a 4-3-3, but has played a 4-2-3-1 when he has had the players to suit the formation, so there could be space for a No.10 if he feels he can inject some new life into the ailing career of Dele Alli. Other players likely to benefit if he arrives would be intelligent creators like Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso and possibly passing controller Harry Winks.
The wingers would also become significant parts of Spurs’ plans, with someone like Steven Bergwijn perhaps being the most obvious potential beneficiary.
Ten Hag is also focused on youth development. He has worked with the likes of De Jong, Van De Beek and Matthijs De Ligt and more recently has mentored young South Americans like Lisandro Martinez, Antony and David Neres, bringing them on leaps and bounds and showing he can with players from around the world.

I’m far from an expert on his style of play, but the flexibility of Ten Hag’s Ajax is one of the main reasons I’m drawn to him.

Genuine curiosity (and to be clear, I’ve never rated him): I know several here have said they’d like Rodgers to be our next permanent manager, has anyone changed their mind given Leicester’s run this season?

I expect we’ll be in for ETH again in a few years . 🙄 |
