Will Tudor’s aggressive approach pounce on Arsenal nerves?

Tottenham Hotspur have turned to Igor Tudor, the “ferryman” renowned for taking clubs in choppy water safely to shore.

Tudor always hits the ground running, winning at least six of his opening 10 games in each of his last three jobs, doing so through a combination of aggressive hard-pressing football and a hard line approach to player management. In other words: through sheer discipline on the pitch and off it.

The north London derby is arguably the best possible fixture to start, given that the atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ought to invigorate the players for their new challenge.
