Tottenham don't tend to deviate from 'Angeball'. Regardless of the opposition, they play on the front foot with a high defensive line and try to pass through midfield.
It's admirable to have strong principles but in a one-off derby against one of the best pressing teams in the country, there's also nothing wrong in mixing things up to avoid playing into Arsenal's hands.
I wouldn't see any shame in Ange Postecoglou introducing a couple of surprises to knock Mikel Arteta's title challengers out of their stride.
Tottenham would usually invite teams into closing them down because they trust the quality of their own players.
