Ange Postecoglou has serious shortcomings as Spurs manager. But he has hardly been helped by a team trying to do things on the cheap
he good news for Ange Postecoglou is that it seems relatively straightforward to recover from being Tottenham manager: his two immediate predecessors, Antonio Conte and Nuno Espírito Santo, are top of Serie A with Napoli and third in the Premier League with Nottingham Forest respectively. As the banner unveiled on Sunday by Spurs fans during theread: “24 years, 16 managers, one trophy”. Nobody really looks at Tottenham any more and thinks the problem is the manager.
The midfield against Leicester was shambolic. The two more advanced players in the central triangle, usually Sarr and Lucas Bergvall, would go off pressing but because the back four is sitting a little deeper these days – as Spurs try to be less exposed – the deepest‑lying midfielder, usually Rodrigo Bentancur, was left with space in front of him.
