I've been saying for the past two seasons, that Spurs on talent are better than Arsenal, but AVB is the manager. And even at his worse, Wenger is still miles ahead of him.
And that is the essential difference.
I dont rate both managers, Wenger
used to be good but simply isn't anymore, dont remember the last time he changed a game through tactics, man still cant get his team to defend as a cohesive unit over a season, defense hasn't been solid since the 07/08 season
, whilst AVB is a clown when he tries to be too clever with his tactics, playing a high line with snails like William "I'm past it" Gallas in defence
and management, the man has has terrible man management skills knows how to lower team morale for sure, we saw that when he was at Chelsea, though to be fair there were far more players with strong personalities there. However he clearly learnt from his fukk up at Chelsea and is different now, Wenger is ahead of AVB due to his overall experience in the game. The two teams were on the same level squad wise last season, it was only a point that separated them, Spurs have now heavily strengthened their squad with good players in each area and removed the deadwood, it's all pointing towards Spurs getting that 4th place position.
