Breaking down Ange Postecoglou’s ‘we need change’ speech ⬇️ theathletic.com/5469838/2024/0…

In a very interesting press conference today, it felt like Postecoglou was introducing his manifesto for a second term. Echoes too of Pochettino's 'painful rebuild' interview.

'We need change' was his very clear message. Piece on what it all means ⬇️

Carlos Alcaraz has joined Jannik Sinner in withdrawing from the Italian Open.

With Daniil Medvedev also struggling with injury, is the biggest winner from the Madrid Open actually Novak Djokovic?

There have been worse performances by Tottenham this season but given the opponent, circumstances and context this felt like the lowest point since Postecoglou took over. His reactions on the touchline in the first half suggested he felt similarly ⬇️ theathletic.com/5467999/2024/0…

Postecoglou urges his players to ‘feel the pain’ as he offers a reminder that success won’t come easy ⬇️

He picks his football fascinations & irritations – inc. strikers not rounding keepers any more, pointless pre-match interviews – but we also FINALLY confront this:

The 'Gary Lineker Telling Us How Many Goals Are On MOTD' Threshold

On Spurs' inconsistency, Postecoglou says: 'It's not a concern, it's part of the process'.

Postecoglou says it's too early to say re any injury news from yesterday but that he doesn't think there was 'anything significant'.

Sounds like Van Dijk is likely to be unavailable for Sunday's game.

Another chance for Spurs to ruthlessly take advantage of their opponents missing key players.

As I've said before, I do think if you flipped the start and the end + Spurs were currently on a won 8, drawn 2 run from last 10 games, we'd be saying wow they're 5th - ahead of Manchester United, Chelsea + Newcastle.

That said, it's concerning it's happened this way around.

No fight, no real quality, no mitigating circumstances.

Defeat at Chelsea was Tottenham's worst night under Ange Postecoglou - and showed why major improvements are needed.
