With very little having changed since the gaffer’s last media appearance, Ange Postecoglou’s pre-match press conference ahead of our crucial game against Nottingham Forest this evening was a little shorter than usual. This is indicative of Tottenham’s tendency to wait and see with regard to injuries.
Angelos emphasised the importance of Spurs keeping an eye on the backline. Postecoglou informed the media that Tottenham was currently in a precarious situation and needed to sign another centre back. Romero’s absence was detrimental to us, and Micky Van de Ven’s ongoing injury is also a major drawback.
In an hour-long “ask me anything” style Q&A on The Athletic, David Ornstein discussed how the upcoming Asian Cup and AFCON competitions will increase the number of absences at Spurs.
Averse to giving names. The reputable reporter informed a curious party:
The centre back has top priority. and after that, an assailant maybe.
This implies that rather than being a random remark made by the Australian during a chat, Ange’s remarks may be a part of a larger project including coordinated thinking within the club.
Looking at another attacker, this would be really good news if Levy was to be serious about the case.
Even though Richarlison’s brace against a lacklustre Newcastle United team last season was fantastic, having another goal scorer would help Spurs get ready for the upcoming campaign, when ideally European football will once again be a priority.
