Ange Postecoglou admits Tottenham hung in there against Coventry but backs eight changes

Tom Barclay analyses Tottenham’s last-gasp 2-1 win over Coventry in the Carabao Cup, thanks to late goals from Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson.
The performance, Postecoglou’s decision to make eight changes, the goal scorers and Postecoglou’s post-match comments - including regarding fans booing the Lucas Bergvall substitution- are all discussed.

Thanks for a balanced perspective on a very unbalanced performance

Thanks very much!

Yep we still got gaps in squad quality, however, we have played well in other games TY and not got results. This game we got the result. So let’s just back the Ange and players to kick on. In respect of DJed can the EL (prior commencement) squad be changed due to injury of Odebert and/or Werner?
Otherwise thanks Tom love your reviews.

That is a good question and one I’ll try to find out. And many thanks Steven

bro are you a tv presenter? that was a very good post match analysis

The players look devoid of confidence, ideas and that they have lost belief in the manager. That performance was a disgrace, slow, lacking creativity and we stole a win.
Ange is snappy with the press and looks like he doesn't want to be there
We have seen this so many times before with Manager's under Enic, the beginning of the end

Tom are you a spurs fan? If Ange were to get the axe who would be your choice to replace him? Cheers.

Nope, just write about them every week. I think talk of post Postecoglou feels quite premature at the moment, he’s going through a rough time which he needs to get through, but don’t think it’s appropriate to talk about any particular successor yet
