Ange Postecoglou won't change Tottenham's attacking approach

Ange Postecoglou won't change Tottenham's attacking approach

Ange Postecoglou won't compromise on entertainment as Tottenham boss.

Spurs were held to a 2-2 draw by Roma in the Europa League on Thursday (28.11.24) but the coach will not be sacrificing flair in order to get better results and help the team progress to the knockout stages.

Asked if he will be changing his high-risk style, Postecoglou said: "No.

"Why can’t it just be entertaining? Isn’t it why we all come? Would you really prefer us to sketch out a couple of 0-0 draws and a 1-0 win and we get through? I don’t know.

"I would much rather we’re exciting to watch and maybe it is edge-of-the-seat-stuff and sometimes we don’t get the reward, like we could have tonight, but no, if you want those kind of games, there are plenty in world football you can watch every weekend.

"I’d like to think when you tune into us you’ll be entertained.

"There’s three games to go and we’re in a pretty decent position. You try to win every game you can and see where that takes you.

"I think it’ll probably be clearer after the next round but it’s all pretty tight from what I understand. That’s what you expect."

Spurs were pegged back after the Italian side scored a late equaliser and Postecgolou was annoyed that his team didn't finish the game off when they were in the ascendancy.

The Australian coach said: "Yeah, we should have killed it off a lot earlier.

"At 2-1 you’re always keeping the opposition in the game and they’re throwing men forward, so disappointing we weren’t able to see the game out. Ultimately we’re still in a decent position."
