How Manchester City beat Tottenham 2-0 to retake first place in Premier League

Postecoglou has made some very interesting, if slightly cryptic, comments in his post-game press conference. One would be wise to assume that he is referring to the attitude around the club over the last couple of days.

“The last 48 hours have revealed to me that the foundations are fairly fragile,” said the Tottenham manager. “The last 48 hours have revealed a lot to me and that’s alright. It just means I’ve got to go back to the drawing board with some things.”

He was then pressed on whether he had noticed these things internally or externally.

“Outside, inside, everywhere,” Postecoglou responded. “It’s been an interesting exercise. It’s just my observations. You can make your own fairly accurate assessment of what’s happened.

“I understand, I’ve probably misread the situation as to what I think is important in the endeavour to become a winning team but that’s okay. That’s why I’m here.”
