Jamie O’Hara has despatched a reminder to Ange Postecoglou that he’s not at Celtic the place “the rest of the teams are dog” and his “gung-ho football” might trigger issues at Tottenham.
Postecoglou’s Spurs facet began the season in tremendous kind. After 10 video games, they have been high of the desk, enjoying free-flowing soccer and thriving after the departure of Harry Kane.
However, of their final two Premier League video games, they misplaced 4-1 to Chelsea, earlier than being shocked in a 2-1 loss to Wolves. As a outcome, they’ve slipped to 3rd, and can drop even additional if Liverpool win their subsequent sport.
Postecoglou has employed his personal type rapidly, which has largely been constructive, however in opposition to the Blues, it was suicidal, given he continued to play a excessive line with Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson operating in behind after two defenders had been despatched off.
Chelsea slaughtered them within the second half, and that three common defenders have been out of motion in opposition to Wolves didn’t assist issues – if the gamers who’ve gelled collectively for weeks have been all available, the outcome might have been a unique one.
Former Spurs man O’Hara has warned Postecoglou that whereas having his personal id is an efficient factor, there are extra groups that may damage his facet – evidenced by the Wolves loss – than there have been in Scotland, the place the Australian gained two league titles with Celtic largely enjoying in opposition to what he feels are poor groups.
“I am all for it. This is the way we are, this is what we are going to do, this is how we are going to play. I get that, but you are not playing in Scotland and you are Celtic and you are the best team, and the rest of the teams are dog,” O’Hara said on talkSPORT.
“You are enjoying in opposition to high sides. Wolves are a very good group at home, they have some gamers, a very good supervisor.
“If you just keep making stupid mistakes and you keep playing this gung-ho football, a point is not a bad result.”
Yet Tottenham didn’t take any factors away from that sport, and which may present Postecoglou that his group can’t all the time play precisely how he has normally instructed them to, particularly with essential gamers out of the facet.
