Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou has fans hopeful after debut season but relationship shows signs of strain

For a brief while, Ange Postecoglou’s first season at Tottenham seemed amazing, as the team was

leading the table and winning after 11 games.

On the eve of their first match, they managed to level up to a respectable fifth-place finish, which

was more than many had anticipated when Harry Kane left for Bayern Munich.

Fans were disappointed by the team’s rough second half of the season and their early eliminations

from both domestic cups, but there were plenty of encouraging signs to indicate the Australian is working on an intriguing project.

Analysis of their 2023/2024 season

Spurs star of the show

Micky van der Ven. Everyone praises the flying Dutchman for his incredible performance in his Premier League debut. His quickness, strength, and skill with the ball make him a perfect fit for Postecoglou’s approach.

Spurs Biggest let down

Yves Bissouma. The Malian had a fantastic start to the season, appearing to be the Spurs team’s answer to Declan Rice, but his play suffered due to a number of (sometimes self-inflicted) setbacks, such as three bans and the Africa Cup of Nations.

Spurs Most improved player

Pedro Porro. Although there were severe questions last season about Porro’s ability to play in a back four, under Postecoglou, he has perhaps been the Spurs’ most reliable player.

Spurs Game to remember

After stealing two points from their rivals in a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Emirates, Spurs officially denied Arsenal the title. Twice, Postecoglou’s team overcame deficits to imply that they might be ready to compete with the best teams earlier than anticipated.

Worst Game

Ironically, it was incredibly memorable, yet Spurs’ season was completely wrecked by their 4-1 home loss to Chelsea in November. Postecoglou’s squad lacked depth as seen by the long-term injuries sustained by Van de Ven and James Maddison, as well as the dismissals of Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie.

What Fans are Saying

Overall upbeat, however it’s difficult to ignore the possibility that the bizarre Manchester City match has damaged the fans’ bond with Postecoglou.
