Postecoglou: Tottenham Needs More Depth, Bro
Alright, let's be real here. Ange Postecoglou's got the Tottenham Hotspur squad playing some seriously exciting football. The energy, the attacking style, it's all there. But, let's not get ahead of ourselves. The reality is, this squad needs more depth if they wanna really compete on multiple fronts this season.
Don't get me wrong, the lads have looked fantastic so far. We're talking about an exciting, fast-paced style of play that's got the fans buzzing. But with the Champions League and a packed Premier League schedule on the horizon, we need more bodies. And by bodies, I mean quality players that can step in and keep the momentum going when key guys are injured or need a rest.
Let's break this down a bit. You see, Ange's high-intensity approach demands a lot from the players. It's all about pressing, running, and attacking with purpose. That's awesome, but it also takes a toll. Imagine playing a full-on game on a Wednesday night in the Champions League, then having to do it all again in the Premier League on Saturday. It's gonna be tough for the same guys to keep that pace up all season.
The good news is, Spurs have made some decent signings already. The arrival of Maddison and the continued development of young players like Skipp and Sarr are promising signs. But we need more. We need players who can fill in at various positions, players who can bring that same intensity off the bench and keep the pressure on the opposition.
One area that's really clear is defense. We saw that the backline struggled a bit against Barcelona in their pre-season friendly. Sure, it was just a friendly, but it highlighted a need for depth. The loss of Lenglet and the fact that we're relying on Davies to fill in at centre-back isn't ideal, especially with Dier's injury history.
It's time to get real, folks. Tottenham are pushing for a top four spot and a good run in the Champions League. That means having the strength and depth to handle the pressure and the competition. It's a long season, and every player is gonna be needed. Ange needs to make sure he's got the tools to keep this exciting, attacking style rolling all season long.
