At this moment, when they are wrecked by self-doubt and stink of the foul funk of failure, the footballing fates have handed Spurs the precious gift of encouraging fixtures. Sure, they played the first of those, against an Everton team that had scored one goal in their previous six league games, on Sunday and managed to make their opponents look like the 1970 Brazil side, concede three and lose, but they have a chance to make up for it (kind of) tonight, and another against Leicester this weekend. Their season can still come good (or, at least, better).
Hoffenheim, 15th in the Bundesliga, three points above 16th-placed Heidenheim and the threat of a relegation play-off, have lost six and won just one of their last 10 games in all competitions, that solitary victory coming against 17th-placed Holstein Kiel on Saturday. “I play football because I want to win, and when you don’t win for so long, it really gets you down,” said the defender Kevin Akpoguma. “In the changing room after the game, you could feel that a weight had been lifted. After a win, everything is just nicer. A win always energises you, that’s been noticeable in the past few days too. But we can’t ease off now, we need to keep it up. It’s important that we all develop a hunger for it, so that we have this feeling much more often.”

Of their own last 10 games Spurs have won three and lost a mere five. On form, this is no contest. And yet. One problem is that Spurs have only 13 first-team players to choose from, with Pape Sarr added to the injury list after the Everton game. This makes Ange Postecoglou’s job easier, because the team more or less picks itself, and also harder, because it is more likely to be rubbish and there is less he can do about it if it is.
“The reality is we don’t have a lot of choice,” the Australian growled. “We’ve no other options, that’s the basic premise of it. We’ve probably got 13 first-team players who’ve travelled. We don’t have many options, apart from throwing untried youngsters in there but I don’t want to do that to them. You really need a strong squad of players and keep them healthy to cope with playing in Europe if you do well in the cup competitions like we have, because it’s not manageable when you’ve got three games a week for the length of time we have.”
So here we are. Two desperate teams. One game. Tottenham, in ninth place and outside the automatic progress spots only on goal difference, will move into the top eight if they win and get to feel decent for a bit. Hoffenheim, in 27th, surely need to win at least one and lose neither of their last two Europa League fixtures if they are to have any hope even of a playoff place. It is, in its slightly miserable way, a massive, potentially season-shaping game. Welcome!

Europa League clash: Hoffenheim vs Tottenham Hotspur live stream.
Ange Postecoglou has backed his young players to show the leadership required to get Tottenham through their current “tough spot” in the Premier League.
Spurs have won just once in their past six league matches and are currently 14th. Postecoglou continues to insist the club’s injury crisis is unlike any he has experienced in his career before, with Ben Davies the only member of Spurs’ sick list likely to be available for selection against Everton on Sunday. But the Australian believes his team will be stronger if they can find a way through their current adversity.
“The younger players have done brilliantly in coping with what’s been thrown at them,” Postecoglou said. “Archie [Gray], Lucas [Bergvall], Djed [Spence] … Dom [Solanke] has done an unbelievable job. These guys have embraced the challenge of us being in a tough spot, they’ve not shied away.
“They are all new in terms of the team, that’s important because at some point when we get significant returns [in players], that could lead to a stronger time. I’ve always said leadership can come in different forms, and maybe the young ones can lead us through; there’s no reason they can’t. That’s the message I’ve been giving back to them: whatever it takes and whoever stands up in these moments, don’t wait for somebody else. If you feel like it’s going to be you, then you take that moment.”
Postecoglu’s remarks hardly reflect well on Spurs’ older players, though the manager insisted it was more a case of his squad being short on experience altogether. “We don’t have a lot in that bracket to be fair,” Postecoglou said.
He went to say that he was not explicitly looking to add experience in this transfer window. “What we need right now is some reinforcements in terms of able bodies who can help us get through this period. That’s much more important than anything else right now. Every game we’ve got close to double-digit absences.”
Spurs face an Everton side at Goodison Park seven points and two places below them, and back under the control of David Moyes. Postecoglou extolled the virtues of his counterpart, another manager who has been criticised for not adjusting his approach to the game. He was also pleased that, at 61, the Scot has replaced him as the Premier League’s oldest manager.
“I’m delighted to see him back because it means I’m not the oldest in the Premier League anymore. If we can get Roy [Hodgson] off a beach somewhere I will be even happier,” said Postecoglu. “He is still at the top of his game and is a fantastic manager. I think longevity is a measure of your capabilities particularly when you think of how long he has managed in the Premier League itself and he has made an impact at the clubs he has been at.
“There is not one person, one manager who won’t go through tough times, who won’t lose his job at some point. That happens to everyone. You’ve got to have something to cling on to. What do you believe in? If you don’t [have anything] and if you’re just changing all the time because of pressures then eventually what happens is you disappear.”
Ange Postecoglou, the current manager of Celtic FC, has expressed his belief in Tottenham Hotspur’s young stars to lead the club through a ‘tough spot’. Postecoglou, who previously managed the Australian national team and Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan, has been impressed by the talent and potential of Spurs’ young players.
Speaking to the media, Postecoglou said, “Tottenham have some very talented young players who have shown they can compete at the highest level. It’s always tough when a team goes through a difficult period, but I believe that these young stars have the ability and mentality to lead the club through this tough spot.”
Tottenham Hotspur have endured a challenging season so far, with inconsistent performances and results in the Premier League. However, Postecoglou’s vote of confidence in the club’s young talents will surely boost the morale of the players and fans alike.
With the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, and Japhet Tanganga leading the way, Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to turn their season around and climb up the league table. And with Ange Postecoglou’s support, the young stars at Spurs will have the belief and motivation to do just that.
In the buildup to the north London derby the former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson repeated a line that almost every pundit/journalist/fan has used this season: “With Spurs, you don’t know what you’re going go get.” The trouble is it feels increasingly – especially in the league – that you know exactly what you’re going to get.
Wednesday night appeared entirely predictable. Watching two great young prospects, Djed Spence and Archie Gray, play the ball to each other, slowly but surely progressing it backwards towards their own corner flag before giving away possession/a throw/a corner with almost no other options, seemed like a very limited and dispiriting choose your own adventure.
On the rare occasion Spurs had the ball in Arsenal’s half, at no point did the players look like breaking through the back line. Knocking the ball from one side to the other, ignoring the opportunity to sling it into the box so Pedro Porro could overhit an impossible pass inside the full-back, giving Gabriel Magalhães another opportunity to show just how good he is at shepherding a ball out of play.
As with all football matches, it is worth pointing out the existence of the opposition. Arsenal may not be thrilling going forward but defensively they were absolutely brilliant. Even in the exact moment of conceding a goal they didn’t really look in any danger.
Spurs, since beating Manchester City 4-0 at the Etihad at the end of November, are 18th in the form table. They have five points from a possible 27. They are level on points with Crystal Palace and below West Ham. Since Ange Postecoglou’s impossibly good start last season (26 points from the first 10 games), his league win percentage is 39%.
So is there any kind of compelling case for keeping him? None of us is objective. Since moving to Australia I have been brainwashed by the football community. Perhaps because there are no Australian superstars in the men’s game, Ange carries the hopes of a wildly passionate set of fans who are almost universally desperate for him to succeed.
A lot of Premier League fans and pundits are quick to dismiss his achievements elsewhere. The A-League, the J-League, Scotland. If anything, the Scottish Premiership is a bit of an outlier compared to his previous successes. The Sydney Morning Herald sports reporter Vince Rugari wrote Angeball: The definitive biography of Ange Postecoglou. “Celtic is the only time he’s clearly had the best/richest team in the league,” he says. “In every job he’s had he’s faced exactly the same questions/criticisms as he is now: he must adapt, it won’t work at this level, he’s naive, been found out, no plan B. Every time he’s proved that sort of narrative totally wrong.

“If you’re faced with the question: ‘Do we trust this guy to turn it around?’ It really depends for me how highly you rate his credentials from earlier in his career. If you think Asia is a joke and that it’s easy to win the Asian Cup or whatever, and can’t recognise how difficult it is to navigate a salary cap and build a team that plays possession football with limited Aussie players … then yeah you probably think, bin this guy. But if you are the opposite, then betting against Ange is a bit like thinking that maybe this time Wile E. Coyote is gonna get that bloody Road Runner.”
Injuries also matter. They are not interesting to talk about – any conversation about them ends with: “Everyone has them, you just have to find a way.” But they can define seasons. If important players are injured in positions where you have limited cover you will get fewer points. To be without your first-choice goalkeeper and centre-backs (and now left-back) for such an extended period means Spurs should be a few points lower than expected.
It also adds to the exhaustion of the 14 or so who are playing every few days. There is an interesting question about how much Ange’s style contributes to injuries. Historically there doesn’t seem to be a consistent pattern of it happening under him, although perhaps the physicality and relentlessness of the Premier League pushes Angeball hamstrings past their elastic limit.
Limited cover, especially at the back, seems an important point here. Where should blame be apportioned for going into a season with only three centre-backs and a second keeper with such a wildly different skill set to your No 1?
This is where Daniel Levy comes in. The Football Weekly podcast regular, and Spurs season-ticket holder, Mark Langdon from the Racing Post articulated it well on a recent episode. “Inside the stadium not many people have been calling for Ange to go. I think the issues lie way above Postecoglou. Daniel Levy has been in charge for a quarter of a century.
“There’s a direct link between wage bill expenditure and success in football and Tottenham have tried to do it on the cheap. According to Deloitte’s last figures, for the 2022-23 season, Spurs have got the lowest wages to revenue ratio in the Premier League. That in itself shows a lack of ambition. They wanted [Leandro] Trossard, they wanted [Pedro] Neto, they wanted Luis Díaz. They got [Arnaut]Danjuma, [Manor] Solomon and Timo Werner. There are lots of things at the club that people are unhappy with and Ange is a long way down that list even though things are not going well on the pitch.”

So if football leagues are the same (a big if), history suggests that Ange, with a fit squad and a bit more investment, can overachieve with Spurs. Perhaps for a number of reasons the Premier League is where this approach falls down. Postecoglou is coming up against the best managers and players he’s ever faced.
I would stick with him – for this season, and next. If nothing else to just see it play out. At their best under Ange they are a brilliant and thrilling football team. I am more interested to see if he can get them doing that consistently than to see another manager come in and start again.
Worst-case scenario Spurs are average at best for another couple of years. Their fans should be well adjusted to cope with that – nothing in the past two and a half decades suggests someone else would do better. Just imagine if it did work, with those talented teenagers at the heart of it. If all things were fair and equal, then this crisis will only make the story better in the end.
In Ange we trust? Why Spurs should risk potential failure and back Postecoglou | Tottenham Hotspur
As Tottenham Hotspur continue their search for a new manager following the departure of Jose Mourinho, one name that has been floated around as a potential candidate is Ange Postecoglou. The Australian currently manages Japanese club Yokohama F. Marinos and has a wealth of experience in the game, having previously managed the Australia national team and various clubs in Australia and Greece.
While Postecoglou may not have the same high-profile name as some of the other managers linked with the Spurs job, he brings a unique set of skills and qualities that could benefit the North London club. His attacking style of play, emphasis on youth development, and man-management skills have earned him plaudits from those who have worked with him.
However, there are concerns about whether Postecoglou would be able to handle the pressure and expectations that come with managing a club like Tottenham. His lack of experience in European football and managing at the highest level could be seen as a risk by the Spurs hierarchy.
But sometimes, taking a risk can lead to great rewards. Postecoglou’s track record of success with limited resources and his ability to get the best out of his players make him an intriguing option for Tottenham. With a squad full of talented players who have underperformed in recent seasons, perhaps Postecoglou’s fresh approach and tactical acumen could be the catalyst for a turnaround at the club.
In the end, it comes down to whether Tottenham are willing to take a chance on someone like Postecoglou. While there may be potential for failure, there is also the possibility of success and long-term stability under his leadership. Trusting in Ange could be the bold move that Spurs need to get back to challenging for major honours.

It would be just like Tottenham Hotspur to take on a side languishing near the bottom of the table coming off two wins thanks to a “new manager bounce”.
That’s the situation this weekend against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Just outside the relegation zone, Wolves fired manager Gary O’Neil and immediately won their next two fixtures against Leicester City and Manchester United.
Dr. Tottenham will see you now.
The situation has become even more desperate for a wounded and wearied Spurs side, with Ben Davies’ layoff now expected to extend into the new year, and with Radu Dragusin picking up a knock in the loss to Nottingham Forest. Whatever the situation with the squad, Ange Postecoglou will need to find a solution and fast. Perhaps this is the match he does that; maybe he can embrace his inner MacGyver and fashion a center back out of paper clips and duct tape?
COYS!

Christmas has passed, and Tottenham Hotspur finds itself in the bottom half of the Premier League table. While three matches in the next 10 days present an opportunity for quick movement — especially with just six points separating fifth and 13th — it feels like Spurs’ chances to salvage this domestic campaign are reaching the danger zone. Boxing Day’s visit to a top-four Nottingham Forest side is just one match in isolation, but given the current state of affairs, every single fixture feels massive.
Forest has enjoyed a remarkable start to the season, though analytics and betting markets are slow to believe. Spurs are still given comparable odds to secure a top-four finish, despite the current eight-point gap. These projections may be valid once key absentees are back to full health, but for now these sides look nothing alike. A win on Thursday could fuel optimism for a resurgence, but a loss would validate Tottenham’s place in the table.
Nottingham Forest (4th, 31pts) vs. Tottenham Hotspur (t-11th, 23pts)
Date: Thursday, December 26 Time: 10:00 am ET, 3:00 pm UK Location: The City Ground, Nottingham TV: Peacock (US), Amazon Prime Video (UK)
How does a team ranked 13th in goals scored sit in fourth place? The answer lies in Forest’s stingy defense, which has conceded just 19 goals in 17 matches. Despite a nearly even goal difference, Forest has mastered the art of efficient scoring — winners of four of its last five, three came by a single goal. It has been quite the season for Nuno Espirito Santo after just barely escaping relegation following his appointment last winter.
Tottenham played a pivotal role in that managerial shake-up, defeating Steve Cooper’s side 2-0 at the City Ground, a result that ultimately led to Nuno’s appointment. Spurs completed the league double with a 3-1 victory at the new Lane, thanks to goals from Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro. Since Forest’s promotion in 2022/23, Spurs have taken all 12 points, though Forest did manage a win in the League Cup that season.
All or Nothing
While Forest has thrived on narrow victories, Tottenham has been the opposite: the last five league wins have all been by at least three goals. Spurs’ attack has been inconsistent this season, but they have scored 16 goals in their past five matches across all competitions. Unfortunately, defensive frailties have been equally prominent, making Tottenham one of the league’s most high-event teams. This clash of styles — Forest’s defensive discipline against Spurs’ attacking firepower — sets the stage for an interesting affair.
Despite Forest’s defensive solidity, Tottenham’s red-hot attack gives it reasons for optimism. Newcastle, Arsenal, and City each put three past Forest in (somewhat) recent victories, exposing its potential vulnerabilities. Ange Postecoglou’s side has shown its attacking prowess lately, as the key injuries at the club are more detrimental to the defense. If Spurs are to leave the City Ground with three points, they will need to rely on their attackers to compensate for a shaky back line yet again.
The strongest wills
Postecoglou remains steadfast in his philosophy and approach. Critics frustrated with his commitment to an attacking style that leaves the defense exposed will not find solace anytime soon. However, a loss to the league’s best team does not really teach us anything new. Even a more conservative style would not suddenly make this group of defenders world-class, and any such shift would inevitably come at the expense of the team’s attacking prowess.
I agree with Postecoglou’s belief that the only viable path is to press forward, regardless of who is available. While this may lead to continued frustrations, it is essential to view this as a long-term project rather than a quick fix. Watching teams like Forest climb the table on the back of strong defending can be disheartening, but that is not the direction this club has chosen. A win Thursday would go a long way to justify this path that has been established.

As Nottingham Forest prepares to take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, the stage is set for an exciting showdown between two talented teams. Both sides have had their ups and downs this season, but one thing is clear – patience will be key in this match.
Nottingham Forest, currently sitting mid-table in the Premier League, have shown glimpses of their potential throughout the season. With a solid defense and a dynamic attacking lineup, they have the ability to compete with the top teams in the league. However, consistency has been an issue for Forest, and they will need to remain patient and focused in order to secure a positive result against Tottenham.
On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur have had a challenging season so far, with a string of disappointing results and injuries plaguing the team. However, under the guidance of new manager Antonio Conte, Spurs have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks. With key players returning to fitness and a renewed sense of confidence, Tottenham will be looking to build on their recent success and continue their climb up the Premier League table.
In this matchup, the gift of patience will be crucial for both teams. Nottingham Forest will need to stay disciplined in defense and capitalize on their opportunities in attack, while Tottenham will need to trust in their game plan and not get frustrated if things don’t go their way early on.
As the two teams prepare to face off, fans can expect an intense and competitive match. Both sides have the talent and determination to come out on top, but it will ultimately come down to which team can show the most patience and composure on the day.
So, as Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur prepare to do battle, remember the gift of patience – it may just be the key to success in this Premier League showdown.

Everton boss Sean Dyche, speaking to Amazon Prime: “I was worried about coming here today because it will change, at some point they will hurt someone, but I felt we handled it well – the underlying feeling that they will pull a result out of the bag at some point.
“Great energy from the players. We saved the penalty and Jordan [Pickford] and the analysis team deserve credit.
“Jordan made a lot of good decisions today.
“There’s no easy run in the Premier League and you have to be committed to the cause for all of them [upcoming games].
“I am pleased overall with the performance and getting a point.”
On transfer window: “We still have a PSR, no PSR problem but we still have the rules and regulations. It has been a tough process since I’ve been at the club, selling more than I buy. It has been a touch challenge.”
This is a block of HTML code that represents a news article or interview with Everton boss Sean Dyche after a match against Manchester City. In the interview, Dyche expresses his satisfaction with the team’s performance and the fact that they managed to secure a point in the game.

However, he praises his team for handling the pressure well and putting in a great effort on the field. He specifically highlights the performance of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and the analysis team for their contributions to the match.
The Everton boss also touches on the challenges of the transfer window, mentioning the financial constraints and regulations that the club has to navigate. He acknowledges the difficulties of selling more players than buying and describes it as a tough challenge for the club.
