There was a lot of hostility surrounding Tottenham Hotspur not so long ago.
Even if Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte were proven winners, their inability to win a title and their departure from Spurs with everything on fire marked the painful conclusion of Mauricio Pochettino’s final months in charge.
But since Ange Postecoglou joined the squad a year ago, the enthusiasm among the supporters has grown and the clouds have parted. That has changed as a result of Postecoglou’s management of the media, his all-action style of play, and some players’ performances.
Under Postecoglou, Dejan Kulusevski’s play has been inconsistent despite his eight goals and three assists in the Premier League the previous season.
Kulusevski started like a house on fire when he first joined the team in 2022, first on loan, before securing a £26 million move (London Evening Standard). However, since then, he has had ups and downs. Darren Bent expressed his appreciation for the player to talkSPORT, but he believes that Tottenham supporters “don’t like him” as a result.
As Kulusevski fights with Brennan Johnson for a starting position, presenter Andy Goldstein expressed agreement with the former striker.
While Bent admits he has to “step it up” this season to be ready for the upcoming Premier League season, some think Johnson will never be a “top player” at Tottenham.
Tottenham Hotspur supporters “do not like” Dejan Kulusevski.
It’s Bent: “Kulusevski is nice.” “I like him, but they (Tottenham supporters) don’t.”

“So do I,” Goldstein said. Many people—including him—don’t. His left peg is cut in a way that I find appealing. However, having choices would be good because Richarlison and Brennan Johnson are both available for play. Bent went on, “I think Brennan Johnson needs to step it up in his second season.”
Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke connect.
Dominic Solanke has signed a contract with Tottenham, and Kulusevski should be quite excited to work with him.
Solanke praised Son Heung-min and James Maddison as soon as they signed with the London club, but he should not ignore the Swedish player on the right. Given that Kulusevski crosses the ball more frequently than Son and delivers it more skillfully than Johnson, this odd combination may be effective.
With the start of the new season this coming weekend, Postecoglou has hinted that Kulusevski might hold a different role at Tottenham.
