Roughly a quarter of the way through Ange Postecoglou’s second season at Spurs, they are every chance of ending their long wait for silverware – and making good on his promise that it would happen this season.
It is a reflection of modern football’s zero-patience culture and the nature of how Ange Postecoglou’s teams develop that this season each match Tottenham Hotspur play is being relentlessly probed for deeper meaning.result? Is it proof that it will actually never work?
When Postecoglou smirks as a question is still being delivered, it is usually worth listening closely to the answer.“We’re the same team we were three days ago. We’re a side that’s growing, we’re developing. I’ve seen progress, I continue to see progress, and we’re going to have stumbles along the way. And the same way we don’t lose our nerve after having a poor one on the weekend, tonight doesn’t mean we need to change our approach.
The Premier League will almost certainly be too tough an ask, since Spurs are already 10 points off the pace, but they stand a very real chance of adding what would just be Tottenham’s second trophy this century to the club’s collection. It was a good way to bounce back from a dreadful 1-0 defeat to previously winless Crystal Palace on the weekend, and a timely reminder that while Postecoglou will never stray from his principles, he does tweak and tinker within that, despite the perception of him as an ultra-dogmatist who never changes anything. Importantly, it puts them just three wins from lifting the Carabao Cup.
