Former Arsenal star and BBC pundit Ian Wright has explained how an “underrated” figure at Tottenham surprised him.Latest Spurs newsAnge Postecoglou has taken the Premier League by storm so far after joining Celtic in the summer. The Australian’s attacking and exciting style of play is revitalizing fans and giving them hope that they can turn things around after Antonio Conte’s dismal performance as the club’s manager last season. With five wins from their opening seven league matches, Spurs currently sit second in the table and have scored as many goals as last season’s three-time winners Man City.


Tottenham’s wins over Bournemouth, Man United, Burnley, Sheffield United and Liverpool, as well as 2-2 draws against Brentford and Arsenal, provide a good starting point for the next game against Luton Town. Postecoglou’s recent victory against Liverpool happened in very dramatic circumstances. , as the Reds saw two players sent off and a Luis Diaz goal disallowed. Goals from Son Heung-min and an own goal from Joel Matip canceled out Cody Gakpo’s strike and secured a big victory for Tottenham. Postecoglou praised his team’s continued enthusiasm.

“It wasn’t an easy game for us, we knew it wasn’t going to be one and even in those circumstances we had some unique challenges,” the Australian said.“For some of these guys, this will be the first time they’ve ever faced a scenario like this and overall we handled it well.” Again, getting that late winner helps build belief and spirit in the group. Liverpool’s problem is that even with ten men they are just as dangerous because the game plan is the same. They play on mistakes and have world-class players in front of them who can hurt you. I thought the second half was better because we stayed a little calmer, kept the pressure in the wide area and got our reward.”How good is Ange Postecoglou?Having won a number of major trophies in both Asia and Scotland, Postecoglou’s ‘Ange-ball’ brand is now attracting a lot of attention in England. You could be forgiven for initially thinking it was a risky appointment, especially as Spurs have been linked with the likes of Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique as Conte’s replacements, but their alternative option proves the doubters have yet to be wrong. Speaking to Premier League Productions this week [02/10/2023 at 2:20 p.m.], BBC pundit Wright said Tottenham’s popular new manager took him completely by surprise.“It’s underrated,” Wright said [via HITC].“At the moment, it’s an underrated effort he’s making. Big fans of Ange Postecoglou.

I remember at the beginning people were like, “He must be off to a good start.” With the players he has, you want them to do well and win some games and things like that. But I didn’t expect it to be in the forest like it is now and so quickly.“Not just physically, but mentally too. They know what they’re doing: we’re looking at a team that we know will improve simply because Bentancur is coming back.”The 58-year-old has quickly captivated fans and spectators, thanks to his early season form and Spurs’ questionable charisma.Link copied to clipboard
