Ange Postecoglou says in the aftermath of Harry Kane leaving Tottenham Hotspur he had to be like a duck — “looking really graceful above the water and if there’s any panicking happening, make sure it’s under the water where nobody can see, particularly the players.” Kane, Spurs’ record goalscorer, was sold to Bayern Munich the day before Postecoglou’s first Premier League game in August, and his departure threatened to derail the club’s season before it had even begun. Eight months on, Tottenham still have Champions League qualification in their own hands — just —...

The two north London derbies this season offer a neat encapsulation of the two halves of James Maddison’s first year at Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur duo Timo Werner and Ben Davies are expected to miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season through injuries. Both players sustained muscular injuries during Sunday’s Premier League defeat at home to Arsenal and are now likely to sit out the rest of the campaign. Werner, 28, suffered a hamstring injury and was replaced by Brennan Johnson in the 31st minute while 31-year-old defender Davies was substituted off with a calf injury in the 87th minute. “Timo is out for the season with a hamstring injury,” Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou said on Wednesday. “Ben...

Ange Postecoglou insists he does not believe Tottenham Hotspur struggle to defend set-piece deliveries. Spurs conceded two goals from corners in their 3-2 defeat against Arsenal on Sunday — and only four teams have let in more from set-pieces than their 14 in the Premier League this season. In the immediate aftermath of the north London derby, Postecoglou said that “If I thought fixing defensive set pieces was the answer to us bridging the gap then I’d put all of my time and effort into that.” The Spurs boss doubled down on his position on Wednesday. “I think I’ve answered...

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has praised Timo Werner’s impact since he arrived on loan in January, but says a decision on the forward’s future will be made following the end of the season. Spurs have an option to make the loan move permanent for around £15million ($18.7m) but Postecoglou would not be drawn on whether he expects to have Werner for the next campaign. Asked when Spurs would decide whether to take up the option to buy Werner, Postecoglou said: “Post-season. And the only reason for that is that it’s not about the here and now, it’s about the...

Chelsea beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 on Thursday night to climb up to eighth and hurt Spurs' chances of the top four

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou says he has to “take responsibility” for his side’s 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Thursday night. Defeat at Stamford Bridge was Tottenham’s third straight defeat and leaves their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League hanging in the balance. “We didn’t play anywhere near the sort of football and didn’t have the mindset that I expect us to have,” said Postecoglou. “That’s on me and I’ve got to take responsibility for that ultimately as I’m the one who is putting...
