Tottenham: BBC analyst predicts “different” Spurs star to emerge under Ange. Fans are ready to witness another player shine under Ange.
The Ange Postecoglou era at Tottenham Hotspur is well and truly in full swing. Since the new manager’s arrival from Scottish champions Celtic, the mood around north London has completely changed. His Lilywhites are showcasing a brand-new style of exciting, open, and attack-minded football, with that resulting in wins on the pitch. Match of the Day and BBC pundit Alan Shearer suggested that a “different player” may now be unleashed at Spurs.
Tottenham has won four of its first five Premier League games, scoring 13 goals overall to rank third in the division. They have won four of those games.
Only Brighton and Man City currently possess a more formidable offensive threat than Spurs, whose winning attitude was also evident in their 2-1 triumph over Sheffield United on Saturday at home.
Gustavo Hamer gifted the away side a shock opening lead against the run of play, and Postecoglou’s men were forced to fight to the very last in an effort to protect their unbeaten start.
It was the late, late show at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the previously vilified Richarlison – who recently opened up about his mental health struggles – grabbing a deserved equaliser deep into added time.
Just minutes later, the Brazilian guided a sweet cut-back into the path of teammate Dejan Kulusevski – who fired a brilliant finish past Wes Foderingham to send the home crowd into raptures.
This precious win exemplified the promise of Postecoglou’s start to life at Spurs, with the tactician even urging supporters not to temper their expectations.
“No, no, no, let them go, let them go and enjoy it,” said Postecoglou after their victory over the Blades.
