Postecoglou would be prudent to substitute Tottenham forward Timo Werner at halftime in the UEFA Europa League match against Rangers.
Postecoglou arrived at Ibrox on December 12 under intense pressure, with Daniel Levy expecting to make a decision on the Australian’s future in the coming days.
As a result, he would have been keen for his squad to get off to a fast start in Glasgow, which was possibly made less likely by a surprise team selection choice. However, in the first half hour, the hosts appeared to have the advantage.
Spurs struggled to create any danger in the final third, failing to challenge Jack Butland for the first 45 minutes, and Postecoglou would be wise to switch things up in the attacking areas before halftime.

Werner has again failed to make an impact for Tottenham.
According to Sofascore, the winger has completed only 68% of his passes, and both of his crosses into the box were imprecise. Furthermore, he has only taken one off-target shot, and none of his dribbling attempts have been effective.
He’s given up possession 16 times and has been equally awful defensively, losing all five ground duels and getting dribbled past once.
Therefore, if Postecoglou wants to get a result in Scotland and start turning things around at Tottenham, he might consider moving Son to the left in the second half and replacing Werner with Dominic Solanke.
