CURRENT EPL TOP 6 TEAM'S TACTIC: Why are they at the top?

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE:

1) CHELSEA : ANTONIO CONTE

Chelsea currently is at good shape.  Fluid in the system that Conte implement into the team.  It works well and even the likes of Moses, his career start kicking off.  What a good performance from Chelsea yesterday against Man City.  A fast counter-attacking football led by Hazard and Costa.  If all players discipline at implementing the tactic correctly, it can be unplayable.

2) ARSENAL : ARSENE WENGER

I think Arsenal is better with Giroud around the squad but Wenger played a different kind of football compared to last season.  They playing into the feet more compared to last season.  The squad quality that Wenger has is unbelievable.  The likes of Sanchez, Ozil at the front is fearsome.  Ozil play making role suits him well by playing more on the feet.

3) LIVERPOOL : JURGEN KLOPP

Gegenpressing is terms of Klopp's fighting football.  You need a warrior to play Klopp's kind of football, with or without the ball.  The reason Firmino is ahead of Sturridge is because Firmino work rate off the ball is better than Sturridge.  No doubt that in terms of quality as a forward, Sturridge is better at it.  Klopp finally manage to compile a squad that suits his kind of football.  Currently, Liverpool are doing great.  Their attacking line led by Coutinho, Mane and Firmino is brilliant, non-stop movement.

4) MANCHESTER CITY : PEP GUARDIOLA

Pep is tuning on his tactic and try to get it right with the player he is having in Man City.  Possession oriented football and pressing at higher line.  Midfield in the middle of the park and wide player is key for Pep's tactic.  Passing ability from the back is important for Pep's team therefore the likes of Hart, Mangala is losing their place in the squad.  The football I admire the most is Pep's kind of football.  He changed the world football with his football understanding and newly invented football philosophy.

5) TOTTENHAM :  MAURICIO POCHETTINO 

One of the best young manager around.  Fitness is key for Pochettino's team.  They get's better as the game goes on, his Tottenham's squad is young and energetic.  Pochettino responsible for bring out the best in Harry Kane.  Tottenham's tactic is simple, they played their part in their role and beat their opponent in fitness battle.

6) MANCHESTER UNITED : JOSE MOURINHO

The same old tactic since his time at Real Madrid, Chelsea and now at Man Utd.  Most team's can read Mourinho's team.  Mourinho is very good in coordinating defensive line.  His team defensive arrangement can frustrate opponent and kill their opponent during counter attack.  Defensive is key for Mourinho's team.
