“Unseen”: Alasdair Gold shares what’s “taking place” at Tottenham right now
Reliable Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Alasdair Gold has lifted the lid on something “largely unseen” and exciting going on at Spurs right now, concerning their set-up.
What’s the latest Spurs news?
Ange Postecoglou, the new manager, moved from SPFL powerhouse Celtic to north London over the summer, and he has so far disproved his detractors.
Following Antonio Conte’s unfortunate final season in command of Tottenham, Postecoglou is demonstrating a thrilling, engaging new kind of football.
The Lilywhites have brilliantly equaled last season’s Triple-Champions Man City in Premier League scoring with 11 goals in their first four games.
Spurs have won three games in that period, going undefeated. After drawing 2-2 with Brentford on the opening day, they went on to defeat Man United and Bournemouth by scores of 2-0 each.
Their thunderous 5-2 triumph over Burnley at Turf Moor was their most spectacular win thus far under Postecoglou. In fact, right before the international break in Lancashire, Son Heung-min’s hat-trick, James Maddison’s exquisite curling effort, and a screamer from Cristian Romero sealed a statement three points.
Postecoglou gave a detailed explanation of why he won’t be giving up his thrilling style of play any time soon in an interview with Sky last month, stressing the necessity to amuse the crowd.
Postecoglou remarked, “That’s the beauty of our game.
“The beauty of football is that there are so many different ways to win, so many different ways to set up your team, so many different methods to deal with the opposition.
We can both succeed in this game even though I’m definitely at one extreme and others are at the other.
There is a relationship between that style of play and entertainers, especially with a football club like this one that has continually sought that out in its teams.
