Episode notes
Intensity Is Not A Strategy
- Players are fighting and working hard despite tactical and structural problems.
- That intensity can avoid relegation but won't secure top-table finishes.
Second-Half Boost Was Temporary
- Spurs improved in the second half through intensity, not tactical sophistication.

- Windy links that passivity to Frank's tendency to load the box and neglect pressuring shots from distance.
