The player appears to have “numbered” days.
The Daily Mail’s Sami Mokbel revealed a “frosty” encounter between Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and a Spurs player.
Ange gets his third league defeat in a row.
Ange Postecoglou just received his third Premier League Manager of the Month award in a straight, but his team has already lost three league games in a row.
Spurs’ team has been reduced to skeletons following their 4-1 defeat to Chelsea at the start of November, with as many as ten players currently unavailable to participate.
Tottenham fell 2-1 to Aston Villa despite a solid overall performance in which they created numerous chances and might have easily won the game. They now face league champions Manchester City on their worst run of form since the Antonio Conte era.
“I said during the week that I wasn’t happy with the way we played at Wolves, so that’s a different performance,” Postecoglou said of Tottenham‘s 2-1 loss to Villa.
“Again, it’s not a game where we couldn’t have won, but it wasn’t something that made me happy in terms of the progress we need to make.” Today is unique. I believe that if we play that game again today and continue to play in that fashion when everyone returns, we will be a really excellent football team, as we have already demonstrated.
“We just have to make sure the players stay focused on what’s important right now, and you need to win football games to stay in the mix to be in a strong position at the end of the year, but right now we’re still building a side.” What’s more important is that the path forward must be guided by the end goal, and today was all about attempting to play the football we want to play. If we fell short, we fell short, but I don’t believe we did today. I assumed it was just a matter of fine margins for us and not receiving the rewards.”
There were clearly things to take away from the wonderfully exciting 90 minutes in north London, and Spurs would’ve had something to show for their efforts on any other day.
During the game, Postecoglou went with Emerson Royal and Ben Davies at centre back, demonstrating his faith in Eric Dier.
Dier’s “frosty” confrontation with Levy
Dier, whose contract expires at the conclusion of the season, is a strong candidate to depart Tottenham in 2024. The 29-year-old might depart as early as January. According to recent reports, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are interested in signing Dier in a “shock” mid-season move.
Now, Mail columnist Mokbel believes Dier will depart Spurs shortly since his days at N17 are “numbered.” More intriguingly, the reporter claims that chairman Levy and the player were involved in some “frosty” behind-the-scenes discussions early this year.
The former Sporting Lisbon great has been an excellent servant for the club, but his future is uncertain.
