I Honestly Believe Postecoglou Can Take Tottenham To The Champions League This Season
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- I made a comment over on Twitter yesterday to suggest that, despite the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, I felt Tottenham have a live chance of making it into the Champions League this season under Ange Postecoglou. The response to my call was divided to say the least.
With that in mind, I thought today's video should focus on that call from me and act as an attempt to put a little bit more meat on the bone as to my theory regarding Spurs' newly appointed Australian gaffer. It's not a perfect science, I'm not usually one for making bold calls at all, let alone this early into a league season but I just feel as though there are solid reasons to believe that the former Celtic boss may be a match made in heaven with Tottenham, both in the short and long-term.
Cheers,
Dan

Been a Celtic fan since the early 80's. Ange is without a doubt the best coach the club has had in my time. He could have written himself into the fabric of the club but he chose to leave us far too early.
My only doubt for Spurs is his transfer dealings at a higher level. He was quite reliant on his knowledge of the J League & he recruited successfully from that market.
Celtic fans like Spurs demand good football. Ange Ball is nothing like I've seen before. It defies logic defensively but it works. The opposition struggles to maintain the pace for 90 minutes. You'll find Spurs will score a lot of late goals. It's not about superstars or one player. It's all about work ethic & energy. Kane will be a loss but far less so within this system. Players will come in and out of the team but performance levels will not drop.
All the best to Spurs & Ange. See you in the Champions League next year. Hail Hail!
That lack of pace you mentioned already showed up in the last Tottenham game vs United. During the final 20 minutes of the second half, Man United looked absolutely knackered and Tottenham seized the chance, scoring the 2nd goal and ending the game.
Well said, mate.
Cheers to you, Celtic, Spurs and Ange!
I'm a Celtic fan too and another thing to think about is how Ange expects 100% in training and on the pitch which can lead to a far few injures and if the squad isn't full with capable players it can lead to issues later on in the season, particularly in the Premier league where there are no easy games. Wish him all the best though and I hope he proves every doubter wrong!
Losing Kane is a blessing. He may score goals,but he never won anything. His LGBTQBS stuff he took to the World Cup ensured England were going to be constantly distracted. It was never enough for Harry to just captain England. His ego is damaged by fear añd Ange would not have enjoyed working with the mentally tarnished Harry LGBTFirst Kane
I’m a lifelong football fan and an immigrant to Australia who fell in love with Brisbane roar and Postecoglou’s brand of football.
Have been waiting for an opportunity to sink my teeth into a premier league club for many years and I finally have the sort of connection that will induce goosebumps when I watch a team.
New Spurs fan here!
Go Ange! Go you Spurs!
Me too!
Dan, your ability to understand other football clubs so well is incredibly impressive. Insightful and knowledgable, great video.
This was probably the best analysis of Postecoglu and Spurs that I've heard to date. Keep up the good work.
Excellent analysis. As a Spurs fan, I think CL this year is a stretch, but I see Ange as the perfect manager at the perfect time. And thank the memory of Bill Nicholson we're playing attractive football again.
Great content great insight mate. As an Aussie that has admired Ange for many years I can tell you he has incredible ambition, drive and a football brain second to none. Privately he will be plotting to win the premier league. He will have no doubt his system can do it. He is already stock piling young amazingly talented kids that are fast, coachable and will run through brick walls for him. ( Prima donnas no matter how good get punted out ) Watch what happens in about season three when most of these kids come of age at the same time playing under his system. By then he will of developed the weapon that can combat and beat the clubs spending the squillins on drop in superstars. Gosh its nearly enough to make you want to follow Spurs ; )
I hope that happens but you're forgetting about Levy. Pochettino got to UCL final and then levy refused to buy a player for two windows pretty much. Guardiola has said you need to refresh a squad every season to keep players on their toes but if Postecoglou gets to Champions League then he'll think "good enough" let's save some money instead of thinking if they buy from a position of strength it will cost less and they'll have access to better players. Pochettino didn't really fight Levy too much and I can see Postecoglou not fighting either but just walking away. I do think because hes already playing football the fans want that Levy might have to be careful as Postecoglou will fast become a fan's favourite so hopefully he'll back him just to not have every supporter against him
@@chriswoodley23 That is a fair call however Ange's trade ins will be moneyball style picks. He is incredible finding youngsters with talent that fit the system that he then moulds. I would be very surprised with a 50mill. or above spend on any player in the next 24 months.
You certainly know more about Levy and how he operates than I. That being said your point of Ange becoming fan favourite will be interesting. The adoration for him at Celtic was like nothing i've seen for a coach before.
That brings a lot of power.
@@mattb9144 apparently the stadium was rocking at the man Utd game and that hasn't happened for a while and it's because Ange has them playing attacking football that the fans want so I'm hoping too that Levy is forced to back him because he is just too popular with the fans to not back him. I remember reading lots of Celtic fans saying they'd actually watch Spurs because of Postecoglou and thinking it's maybe just because they've lost a successful manager but everything about him from the tactics to the press conferences to the quotes from the players (Bissoma has basically said he loves him already and he's been MotM for first two games) show he's a special manager. Apparently he was 4th choice behind Naglesman, Company, Slott and Xabi Alonso but I think Levy might have stumbled into hiring the perfect manager at the right time. (He was actually funny in one of his press conferences when asked about not being first choice he said something like "I was probably about 6th choice mate but I'm here now).
At worst I feel like when it all clicks some players will want to come to Spurs just because they want to play in a fun system. Surely as a player, especially an attacking one, you want to play football that's fun rather than being shouted at by Conte because you dared to pass forward?
Parataci who was (kind of still is) the director of football has generally bought well, but I hope Ange has some say about who to bring in as that seems like one of his key skills.
Levy hates spending money (and tbf whenever Spurs spend big they buy poorly, Richardlison, Ndomble, Lo Celso, Davidson Sanchez all cost over £40m). We actually tend to do better at the 15-35m mark for players so if Ange is allowed freedom to buy his own players (say at least 1-2 per window that he identifies and the DoF buys the others) then hopefully he'll have a team he wants
Being a fan from Australia we have seen enough to suggest Ange would have a successful career in Europe.
He certainly deserves a chance. A lot of people don’t understand that in Australia you play under a salary cap and wherever Ange has managed he hasn’t had the budget of the top leagues in Europe however he has managed to turn those clubs around
As a Spurs fan I still feel the competition for champions league will be too much for us this year. Personally don’t want to set an expectation on the team that Ange has openly said is very much in transition. All I want is progress in terms of our footballing identity, playing our kind of football and always entertaining.
Yeah, I totally get that perspective too to be fair, I would say though that getting a whole club pulling in the same direction is no easy feat and often occurs when you least expect it, with this Kane departure potentially being the perfect catalyst. That's my gut feel anyway. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment on the video, it's huge for me.
I agree but winning any cup this year, which Ange is used to, would be a super bonus! The start so far is amazing given the disjointed pre-season games and must be put down to the work put in on the training pitch.
Exactly how I feel, just want to love watching Spurs games after 4 years of total boredom. I literally stopped watching Spurs regularly since October last year. Switched on again for the cup game against Portsmouth. I fell asleep after the first half! I do want Spurs to avoid the usual occasional meltdowns.
Got to aim high
Agree. Top 4 next year. He's here to win titles, or he wouldn't be here. I am convinced that Spurs will be competing for the league from next season on.
He could stay here longer too. Its the absolute perfect challenge for him, so there's really nothing higher for him to aspire to.
Spurs is his team for the next 4-5 years I think, and the man wants glory. I expect him to get as close as humanly possible to a PL win.
Great video and really interesting take. I think Ange is a perfect fit for the situation at Spurs, especially in a post-Kane era.
I loved the "Mauricio" slip - Spurs fans will know this well 😅 and I do think it's because of the good feeling we have about watching the team again.
Having a manager who wants to be here and is proud to lead the team is a breath of fresh air. I'm not sure many fans have "expectations" as such for this season. But we're definitely looking forward to just enjoying the ride.
Top content, top man. Cheers!
Thanks so much for such a positive comment, it means the absolute world to me It really does feel like a stark contrast from the morbid stoicism of Mourinho and Conte, as I say, I don't think he feels lucky to be there but from my perspective, he's certainly proud and that can only bode well as far as I'm concerned.
@diarmuidmurray9700he likes a challenge, more chance of everton appointment than man city
Love the way you articulated your points, well done. I like your view as neutral well thought and delivered. Deserves a like and sub 👍
I fully agree with your view that the potential is there for Spurs to have some qualified success under Ange this season. As an Australian I am naturally considered to be biased by some, but that is OK. Ange is down to earth, knows what he wants and how to get it, of that there is no question! His man-management skills are second to none. If you followed the path on how he rebuilt a Celtic Club in crises, you will understand. There are many problems at Tottenham which are very similar to those he faced at Celtic at the time. Given the means and the time, he will succeed. Just for those who may not know. Ange came to Celtic on his lonesome self, without any entourage. Celtic had just lost the league to Rangers to the tune of 24 points, no less! The whole club was in uproar with the relationship between the board and fans "stormy" to put it lightly and a demoralised and skeletal playing squad. To make it short, Ange rebuilt all that was broken and ended up winning the league in style plus one of the Scottish cups in his first year. All that on a shoestring budget! In his second year he managed an amazing treble. On leaving for Spurs, he left behind a strong and capable playing squad and the club in a wonderful financial position.
This is amazing analysis, you see the strengths and weaknesses of our team in a fair manner. I look forward to seeing you go over other teams as the season goes on.
Really enjoyed watching that. Clearly explained, well paced and well reasoned. Here’s hoping!
Now this is a great levelled assessment. Cannot wait to watch spurs this season and that’s completely down to manager. If only could get football pundits with the same level of knowledge. Great video
Great video. Honest as ever. The feeling in and around the ground was that we have our Spurs back. And by that we know we're gonna let in some soft goals and may even get a tonking by some. However the players look like they're fully on board and won't stop trying for the whole match. That's tbh all we want to see atm.
It’s like Pochettino’s arrival on speed as far as I can tell. Thanks as ever for taking the time to watch and comment, mate. 🤝
It's so refreshing seeing these kinds of takes from the other fans. I dream of Ange to have massive success here at Spurs, it would genuinely hurt if it doesn't work.
But, with that being said, I personally want to avoid too much expectations going into this season. Our first two games were quite good in terms of performance and what we're trying to do, but the most important thing for us this season is to play attractive football, and show some promising signs for the future. At least that's what I'm hoping to see from our team, considering we're finally in the process of the 'painful rebuild' that Poch foreshadowed some years ago.
I just want this team and its fanbase to unite again under the leadership of Ange. Hopefully, wherever we finish by the end of the season, we can see an exciting team ready to get back to its very best again.
Strangely enough Kane moving on was probably the best thing to happen to Postecoglu for 2 reasons:
#1. Immediately it takes the pressure off of immediate achievements; having someone of Harry Kane’s stature demands success, however being able to focus on the rebuild without a need for things to click right away can only help.
#2. Because of Harry Kane’s stature and style of play, Spurs were able to get away with (for quite some time) not having to have a systemic style or attacking strategy. Without Kane, Postecoglu can actually focus on building the team on the style that brought him success at Celtic; bringing in Maddison has been a huge example of how the central midfielders are going to be able to find space and create chances.
Is going to be a fun watch!
Spurs fan here and first time watcher. Absolutely brilliant video. Very engaging and some great points. Going to subscribe and like 😀
Great video, you areone of the very few in this space who can look past tribalism and recognise a class coach when you see one, with great knowledge and insight to boot
Great discussion mate.
I've followed every step in Ange's career since he managed my team Brisbane Roar more than 10 years ago and I've been watching his first two months at Spurs very closely.
I expect Spurs at the very least to make it into the top 4 this year, but they could surprise everyone and push Man City & Arsenal for the top.
Is that controversial? I have many reasons that lead me to this prediction, some of which you cover in your video. However, there will be two big challenges that could disrupt their ability to get into the top 4:
1. Ange needs a strong finish to the transfer window (needs to ship out a lot of unwanted players, bring in 2 or 3 more players for depth in key positions)
2. He needs key players Bissouma, Maddison, Romero, VDV & Vicario to stay fit
If both of these points come to fruition, I genuinely believe Spurs will have an unforgettable season.
In Ange's first year he definitely wasn't expected to win the title....the team had finished the lprevious season 25 points behind Rangers and Celtic sold their 4 best performing player. He completely rebuilt that the in months and drove them to a totally unexpected double. His second season was way more dominant.
This is true. People might not realise the year that Ange came in Rangers had won the previous season by 25 points. So we weren’t dominant at that stage. But Ange got us back on track and hopefully will now kick on ☘️👍
Wow that’s a very well constructed analysis, as a Spurs fan I think that like a lot of other Spurs fan that we are afraid to hope after the last couple of years, but I do believe that in Ange we have the right man to bring back the hope be it this year or the next year.
Crazy how quick the mood around spurs has changed amongst fans in only a few weeks. Expectations still realistic though, all the fans want for now is to be playing with a clear identity of attacking football. Hopefully win something next season
It really is, although, without wanting to pat myself on the back too much, I could see this coming when he was first linked with the job; he just seems to understand supporters and fandom in an authentic way, whilst also playing football which enthuses fans. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment on the video. It means everything to me.
@HLTCOMEDIA ya did to be fair! I think us spurs fans were blinded my the whole poch thing and couldn't accept someone other than him, have moved on fairly quickly now 😂
Nothing surprises me with Ange, he’s transformed Australian, Japanese & Scottish Football by playing the most exciting, relentless, attacking, entertaining brand, backed up by an intelligent strategist, tactician who innovates & can adapt to change whilst communicating everything he does both to players/media/press in the most positive, clear direct form of messaging. I can guarantee Spurs will win 🏆🏆🏆🏆 under Ange he’s a marvel!
Great video mate, have to say I’m loving Ange right now and I’m very excited for what’s to come for us.
Very well spoken mate im just a aussie spurs fan 👍 👏 happy i found this channel
Thanks so much mate, hopefully you’ll enjoy on the content on the channel moving forwards too. Please do keep in touch.
Man i really admire you been following you on ft for a very long time one of the most sound account on the platform. Keep on the good work mate 👍🏼
Great video! Followed for your palace content to give me a more 'well rounded education' on the PL but as a Spurs fan it's nice - and strange - to hear you talk about us!
Very honest & sensible talking points, as a Spurs fan I hope you are right! I am loving the direction the team is headed with some new players we have brought in & the style oof football under Ange! I feel gift orban would he a great signing as I don't think Richarlison is going to cut it. I don't think we are ready to win the league but I think an FA cup trophy & 3rd in the league is very achieveable!
Honestly think you’re the best UA-camr when it comes to football. Your knowledge of the game and the way word everything is so refreshing and just brilliant to listen to. So underrated. Hope your channel grows immensely cos you certainly deserve it. Big up to you mate
As an Australian, it is so nice to hear all of the goodwill for Ange he's the real deal, and Tottenham has a new Australian fan
As a Spurs fan, I can honestly say that I am genuinely excited for the first time in 3yrs. Now, this will anger both the media and most fans of other clubs, as I’m supposed to be in a depressive slumber, given Kane’s gone 😂
Kane was a great goalscorer, but he was also part of the problem. Let me explain. The narrative was, that ‘Kane had to leave Spurs to win trophies’. However, this is to ignore the fact that Spurs gave Kane the opportunity to do that - but he never turned up for us.
To be honest, the whole ‘will he, won’t he’ had bored Spurs fans to death. It became all the media ever wanted to talk about and that disrespects the other members of the team. Just look at how happier they look now that it’s no longer just about Harry Kane.
The uncomfortable truth, is that Kane isn’t a winner. He isn’t ruthless enough, both for club and for country. That isn’t a view born out of bitterness, but out of fact. In those pivotal, career defining moments, Kane has always been found wanting. He doesn’t get the job done.
He also isn’t a leader. Or a captain. By his own admission, he wants to have a nice civil conversation with the referees. Did you ever see Terry, Vieira or Keane wanting to be all chummy with the ref? Absolutely no chance. They wanted to win so much that they’d tear that ref to pieces!
No one can deny Kane’s goal scoring ability. But being a winner in football is about so much more than that. I am so glad that he is no longer attached to this club; a part of the problem has now gone and the club will be stronger for it.
And by the way, getting £120m for a 30yo with 9mths on his contact is absolutely hilarious 😂 I can’t stand Levy (none of us can) but he does have a knack of rinsing some clubs.
@imconfused
Brave take on HK! But you'll get kick back when he wins with Bayern Munich. Thus proving your point.
Your comment on DL is spot on 😂
Kane shouldn't have started the Champions League final, Moura scored a hat-trick in the semi and Kane wasn't fully fit. It would have been better to bring him on at half time or later on in the game so you can't really blame him for that.
I think he'll do very well at Bayern. They really do have one of the better squads in the Champions League this year on paper at least. Maybe they're missing a high level GK but their defence is good, midfield they have experience and out wide some exciting players and have younger guys like Museala (sp?), Tel and Gravenberch and De Ligt are still young too. Kane seems like he can play until he's in his mid to late 30s as he'll just move deeper as he gets older but it's a lot of money to gamble on basically winning the UCL in next 3 seasons.
The fee Spurs got for him was great although money into Spurs doesn't ever fill me with any confidence as it could end up not being spent or used to buy awful players although I believe Postecoglou has a good eye for a player so wouldnt have too many transfer failures. I don't think it's that bad he's left though as it was starting to be the only thing people talked about and now expectations won't be as high and potentially it gives Postecoglou some money to reinvest
I know a lot of Spurs fans seem to think Fabio Parataci shouldn't be anywhere near the recruitment process but I think he's generally bought well, Udogie, Vicario, Bentancur, Kulusevski, Romero all from the Italian league look good value for money and Bissoma, Porro, Maddison, Van de Ven are all solid with experience and room to improve (even if at around €50m Porro and VdV are probably a bit of an over pay)
The one signing which looks bad in hindsight is Richardlison, but that's still a pretty good success rate. Also I don't know what Parataci did wrong really? My understanding is that he over valued players when they were being loaned/traded so their sales would be more profitable for Juve, but a player is worth what a team will pay not how much a third party website like transfernarkt says someone is worth. Plus Spurs are up against oil and state funded teams we need someone who can bend the rules a bit to keep up. I hope he carries on basically being the DoF in a consultancy role as long as he buys players that Postecoglou wants and will improve the squad.
I don't know if Postecoglou has ever worked with a DoF as he seems to have a lot of control over that especially at Celtic from what i can tell, but I'm sure he has final say on any player over 21 at least who needs to be registered for the Premier League and maybe the younger guys like Philips and Veliz are "club signings", but I'm hoping he can work with Parataci. He's done well to transform the team but one injury to either CD and he has to play Sanchez, injuries to both and it's Dier and Sanchez (although if that happens he might as well try Philips or a youth player instead of Dier as he's too slow for such a high line). Hopefully the lack of European football this year means the squad isn't too stretched. I'm hoping for a League Cup win as that is the first trophy so if he can land that then whatever Kane wins he's won something before Kane inevitably wins the league
@@chriswoodley23Yeah, Paratici is actually something of a genius when it comes to talent identification. He also - very importantly - has the network to make deals happen and a lot of fans seem to under appreciate that.
It’s not even just the 1st Team where Paratici has made an impact. He has literally overhauled the entire recruitment approach which, before he arrived, was described as ‘a bunch of amateurs’. Our scouting network is now vast.
You also see his influence in the youth ranks. Tottenham potentially has a ‘golden generation’ coming through. Paratici recognises this and, instead of losing this talent to other clubs, has worked to secure them. It’s work that goes unnoticed.
As for Richarlison, I was told by a very well connected source that this was a Levy deal brokered to the Dele Alli one. In short, Tottenham didn’t pay the fee publicly discussed. Probably still wasn’t cheap but not as high as some believe
@@imconfused1237 he also seems to have done what nobody else has and that's getting Levy to listen to him.
If true and Spurs didn't pay £60m then that's interesting. I feel like it's partly the fee that's hanging over Richardlison at the moment and if he was say closer to £40m maybe going to £60m with add-ons people would be a bit more forgiving or patient with him especially considering someone like Hoijlund with basically 6 months in a top 5 league went for £70m and that Richardlison could play across the forward line so is in theory a decent squad option at least.
Wasn't aware of all the behind the scenes stuff like overhauling the scouting network, but I've seen some Spurs fans just saying to bin off Paratici which seems crazy to me. Like you say, he's got great contacts especially in the Italian league (which compared to somewhere like Portugal seems to have much better value). It takes time to set all that up so getting rid of him just means we'll go back to square one and have to do it all again which seems pointless.
To an extent as well you have to judge him when he's got rid of the mistakes from the previous era (Ndomble, Dier, Sanchez). All are on high wages which will put off most teams and makes it harder to bring in money and anybody else. The first choice midfield assuming it's Bissoma, Maddison and Bentancur would have cost less than one of Chelsea's big money midfield signings so given that financial disparity people need to give him some credit. Even if you add in Sarr its probably still around roughly the same price so 4 quality options for the price of one is pretty amazing
I think the biggest thing is Tottenham are on the right path and if we support him the whole season and push for him to be properly backed. He is going to be successful in the coming years. It might get rocky at stages. But Ange will throw everything at winning titles for us. That we can get behind ⚪️👍
A well thought take. I would love to complete for top 4 but willing to accept decent flowing positive football, with any European comp finish. But if we can get another goal scorer and spread our goals throughout the team, then maybe we can push for CL
very well put together fella ... makes a lot of sense
Thanks so much mate, hopefully you’ll enjoy the channel moving forwards too.
In Australia ange is big news no matter where he coaches our national news carrys a story weekly on anges team and there highlights.. Ange matters.
He is some coach and Spurs will now always be a great watch, we must remember that the premiership is ULTRA competitive.
Brilliant analysis this. Totally agree 👍
Spurs fan here - you got it spot on regarding Ange being an amazing communicator and being a breath of fresh air. Of course we'd still love to have kane and can only think how good we'd be with kane... But future looks positive if we back him.
I honestly fell like the timing of it is perfect on both fronts. AP comes in with next to no pressure, a clearly defined style of play and a burning desire to prove himself at the highest level he's coached at, whilst Spurs fans are 100% ready to buy into his personality and drive having had too much of the opposite approach in recent times. Thanks a million for taking the time to watch the video and comment, every reply helps push it to me more people.
Excellent analysis..... The Cult of Ange continues to grow and enthrall us all year upon year.
As Spurs fan, that was a good and honest assessment of Tottenham. Admittedly I have a bias towards wanting the best league postion for Spurs, but your right the is something special about Ange and not playing in European football could be key factor for a top 4 finish. COYS💙 Peace and love to everyone 🌍
Ange's football made me excited for every single game of football cuz its even more exciting than poch's (in my opinion) since we always try to attack and very rarely play defensively now and the passing play is also spectacular if we can get orban or david in we are in for higher finishes than Liverpool or maybe even Newcastle and we will bag 4th or 3rd i dont see us losing much to anyone outside top 7 and the fact we beat united and our team is still getting used to the new system is pretty crazy
As an Aussie Man U Fan, I’ve had full belief that he’ll hit the ground running straight away. His philosophies are suited for spurs as he was mentored by puskas himself and that point was to score goals at will. It hurts me to say that I’m invested into this spurs team because of Ange and I think they’ll contend for Europe. High as top 4 imo.
Australia united? Never heard of that team before!!!!!haha
I’m also an Aussie 50 years plus ManU supporter and will be supporting Ange this year. He was great at Celtic and earlier of course. I hope he and Spurs do well. I was even happy they won last week for Ange’s sake.
@@indianastones6032 Man U to phrase it better
@@Steve-jq4st it made me feel weird that United played badly but happy for Ange to get the W. I’m keeping a close eye on them whilst United should get their heads to together
You have, like other Spurs pundits, a pretty good handle on what Big Ange is all about. Oz football fan here. Mainstream TV sports news here (at least the ABC - roughly equivalent to the BBC), is already highlighting Spurs during EPL segments, just as they followed his exploits at Celtic.
I'm a spurs fan and enjoyed listening 🎧 to your view on Ange Posticoglu,, Especially in terms of an outside view/opinion,,. I agree absolutely with everything you said. Although I wasn't one of the fans who had negative views on this appointment, without a doubt when I heard Tottenham were going to appoint Ange as manager "I was like",, WTF is Ange Posticoglu,,. But as soon as I looked into him and got a picture of who he is and how he plays I was sold within two video's of seeing him in action💯 his going to in my opinion create History with Tottenham Hotspur. As for all those who's opinion is that a manager who has never managed in a Quote Top European League, So then can't be looked at or suggested to be a top manager or coach I only have one word to say to say,, well two if you want to be politically correct,,, Arsen Wenger.. Arsen Who was the back page headlines,, and we all know who he is now,, I believe Posticoglu will have the same Effect at spurs. Who has also managed in the J league,, can't wait to see it all play out in the coming years. COYS
That was excellent. Liked, subscribed & shared on Twitter
Watched them vs Barca and they were completely unrecognisable compared to recent Spurs teams - definitely think they need a top Kane replacement to push on though
We only lost the game cuz of the defense's lack of skill cuz we had players like dier who aren't fast enough in those transitions that Barca scored on or technically skilled enough since he isn't the best at actually defending
New subscribers keep up the good work coys IAWT
Taking it one game at a time. However, I'm actually just enjoying the moment. Saturday was probably one of my most enjoyable home games since 16/17
Mate, I reckon your assessment is spot on !
Cheers 😊👍
Not football related but your video background is triggering my OCD lol.
The fact that your sofa is not properly aligned with the photos and the top corner is pissing me off.
BTW your content is top quality.
Ange Ball is the way forward.
I expect there to be some bumps in the road but I'm just looking to enjoy the football this season after the last few years. I think we can finsh 4th but we could very much finish 8th.
Absolutely agree with Darren, as I say in the description of the video, it's far from a lock but I do believe you have it in you under Ange. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment on the video.
I definitely felt Spurs were being underrated before the start of the season and with Chelsea and Man United struggling I'm even more optimistic. If the games so far are any guide it's Newcastle and villa that are going to be the ones to watch
now this video aged very well 2 weeks later :)
Great video mate.
Interesting analysis.
Good video. Very articulate bloke
Top 6, a cup final and fun football is all I want!
Brilliant insight
Great vid as per mate
Brilliant video mate 👏
Ange will win the Premier League as long as he's in it.
Nice video. Personally I think we're a little bit far off but the pieces are there. If this was the exact same squad but with 12 months under its belt with Ange then I'd have us nailed down 3rd or 4th but the team is almost entirely new and it's working under a new coach. There will undoubtedly be periods this season where we get battered and go on awful runs of form which will have us end up around 6th or 7th instead of 4th or 5th. With that said, after the last five years of totally dire football I'm just happy to have something I can get behind, even if it's still a little bit sloppy and rudimentary.
I was at Wembley in 1997 -it was a dreadful match lit up by a dazzling bit of skill late on by d hopkin giving Sheff Utd no time to reply-it was fitting that hopkin scored as he was the standout player for that season -on the final whistle the sky man on the touch line ran to Steve coppell and put
A microphone in his face -“Steve the premiership wot does that mean to you?”steve replied “10 months of misery”-I caught up with Steve 7 years later and reminded him-he said “in the event it was 8 months of misery for me as I was sacked 2 months before the seasons end”
I'd be happy with 6th and just seeing some exciting, attacking football but I do think people are underestimating Spurs and it's certainly possible that we could achieve more.
We very much need to keep key players fit though, and January will be a challenge when we lose Bissouma and Sarr to the AFCON.
It should be fun whatever happens though, and for all the talk of trophies, that's what really matters. Postecoglou has brought the vibes back and long may they continue.
I think this is the beauty of your current situation, really. Your fans are happy with a transitional season whilst knowing full well that there's the potential for more, it doesn't feel weighted against you at all. Thanks so much for watching the video and taking the time to respond. It really does help the videos reach a bigger audience.
@@HLTCOMEDIA you're welcome. You seem to 'get' Spurs and Spurs fans in a way that rival fans often don't. I'm sure fans of other clubs feel the same way too. I wish you all the best with the channel.
PL winter break during AFCON so not as big a problem as it seems
As a spurs fan I love the optimism but I would be happy with top 7
Captain Kane abandoned ship. New captain on board, a new dawn, a brighter prospect under a new manager. Ready to set sail and scale for higher high. COYS
Compared to the pay rate of the 2 previous Spurs Managers Ange deserves a pay rise and will achieve more for Spurs than they did.
I expected Spurs to win the league when Ange was appointed because that's what Ange does. Then I learnt Spurs like collecting deadwood. So best outcome this season is someone will find a use for the deadwood and build a trophy cabinet.
Im an Aussie Chelsea and Ange fan…fully agree! Just has to get past Levy’s football incompetence
After two games?...can we calm down a bit. Jeeez!
Hahahahahahahah! Thank you! You made my week!
5th should do it this year with extra place? Ange is a breath of fresh air
Some level headed fans think we should calm down a bit after only 2 games ,understandable, but i say keep the optimism the faith the hope rocketing skyward ,put your heart on your sleeve and be brave enough to expose your deepest desires ,spurs to win it all COYS
It’s always nice to see someone being very fair and honest regarding another club. I follow u in the twitter and see your tweets. Always spot on. Personally I think we could secure top 5 with 2/3 more signing. But that’s if one of the top team have off seasons again.
I like your postive attitude. BUT, it has only been 2 games. Let's not put the cart before the donkeys.
Top 5 with new Swiss Model coming in next season!! Rack up a bunch of wins (especially at home), and finish 4/5!!!
I can see spurs pushing for the title, let alone top 4
Imagine the carnage it would release if they won a title immediately after Harry Kane's departure.
Australian football fan here, ill win like 200 grand if spurs win the title this season, only cost me 4k all in too. its an absolute punters chance but the odds the bookies put on Ange were straight up disrespectful, he was priced at 51:1 odds. to me he's 10:1 at the most to win it all. good season of football ahead regardless.
Zero chance I'm afraid....UNLESS...Richarlison can score 20 league goals. No doubt no Europe will help us but we need 2 or 3 more players (CB, FWD, extra winger plus Bentacur back!). Otherwise love Ange. Exciting times.
@@FPL_DragoRicharlison could score 20 goals. the issue is who are those goals against and are they match winning goals. He’ll pop up with the last goal in a 5 nil win. Its a goal but of little value
Spurs will 100% be better without Kane. He effected they way we play too much as brilliant as he was. Happy he got his move and we instantly look better
It’s an interesting dynamic for sure.
You got a sub from me COYS!!
Balanced argument.
With respect mate you’re a Palace fan why are you making a video on Tottenham before a video about yesterday’s match?
I record a daily Palace podcast and have done for years, mate. The UA-cam channel is a place for football generally, it’s not just Palace themed. There are literally 5 Palace podcasts every single week, today’s is available free too, would you like the link?
@@HLTCOMEDIA Apologies for my unawareness about that. I will check out the podcast.
@@HLTCOMEDIA actually please send me the link coz I couldn’t find it
It all depends on how deep and how much quality we have in our squad. Can we cope with a few key injuries!! If we had Chelsea’s current injuries we will finish mid table. Simple. If Daniel Levy gives Ange a quality deep squad with 17/18 players where performances won’t drop in quality, top 4 easy. If he doesn’t and we have a bit of bad luck, top 8. COYS
Next season we will be there, hopefully through winning the europa league
I strongly believe Spurs will be the surprise package of the Premier League this season.
Ange isn’t in this to come 4th.
I enjoy the neutral view and thoughts
I think spurs will do well under him. not top 4, but a good season, with an attractive style of play. i think villa could be a dark horse, this season
Invincible season incoming
Great video Dan. Can confirm we're winning it all
It wasnt just mourinho and conte. Dont forget nuno
Football generates subplots upon subplots... Spurs WILL make CL under Ange... When they do, they'll face Celtic. What an occasion that will be! Hopefully Glasgow's green and white come out on top, but until then I (and many other/ most Celtic fans) be cheering on Spurs and Ange when tuning into the EPL.
I'm an old man now but Spurs have been my team since I was a kid and I think the most frustrating team I could have picked to follow , brilliant one week then rubbish the week after. Any thoughts on the new season gives me doubts about improvement if as I read they are considering Lukaku , the guy is a donkey and useless in the premier league as proven at Chelsea and Man. U.. Best prospect they could look at no matter the cost is young Ferguson at Brighton , this kid is gonna be another Shearer. Lukaku is a waste of space and I cringe at the thought.
It is not hard to look like your a good manager when you manage either Celtic or Rangers up in Scotland, Steven Gerrard looked good when he was Rangers manager and even Brendan Rodgers looked good when he managed Celtic. and look how they both embarrassed themselves when they become a manager in the premier league I really hope Postecoglou does well as Tottenham's manager but I will not raving about him until he proves he is a quality manager.
The ignorance is unbelievable. Steven Gerrard won 1 singular trophy at Rangers over the course of 3.5 years during the Covid season where Celtic completely collapsed and literally handed them the title. Ange came into Celtic in crisis, won 5/6 trophies available and played the best football that’s been seen in Scotland since the early 2000s. And your point about Rodgers is ridiculous too given he won 2 trophies and and finished 5th twice with Leicester until his final season where the club had financial issues.
Conte did look down on Spurs. 100%.
Don’t sleep on the aussies!!!
Top 5 good chance
We might get the champions league but our owners will never invest to win it, all they care about is pocketing the money for being in it.
This is what I mean!!!! This fanbase are so quick to say things win another couple games probably think we'll win the league 😅 get real!!! 6th place at best
A team doesn't become world beaters over night lol
League beaters overnight, world beaters another day or two ,let's get on the train with the other crazy romantics and ride it all the way COYS 14:24
