Ange Postecoglou Calls Out Spurs' Thin Squad: "We Need More Options"
It's no secret that Tottenham Hotspur's squad is lacking depth. And after a disappointing draw against Brentford, Ange Postecoglou isn't holding back his frustration. The new Spurs boss has made it clear that the team needs more firepower, urging the club to invest in reinforcements before the transfer window slams shut.
"We need more options," Postecoglou said in his post-match press conference. "It's a tough ask to expect the same players to perform at a high level week in, week out. We've got a lot of games coming up, and we need to be able to rotate and keep fresh."
Postecoglou's blunt assessment comes after a frustrating performance against Brentford, where Spurs failed to convert numerous chances and were ultimately held to a 2-2 draw. The lack of depth was evident, particularly in attack, as Tottenham struggled to break down a stubborn Brentford defense.
The Australian manager is implementing a new playing style, built on possession and attacking football. But he's finding it hard to get his ideas fully across with a squad that's seemingly short on quality and depth. While Postecoglou's philosophy is exciting, it requires players who can execute his vision at a high level.
"We're still building," Postecoglou added. "We're working hard to improve, but we need to add more players. It's not an excuse, but it's a reality."
With only a few weeks left in the transfer window, Postecoglou is hoping that the club can address the squad's lack of depth. Spurs fans will be hoping that the club listens to their manager and strengthens their squad before the deadline. Otherwise, it could be a long and frustrating season.
The key takeaway? Postecoglou is clear: Spurs need reinforcements, and they need them fast. With a grueling schedule ahead, the squad's lack of depth could be a real problem for the North London club.
