Ange Postecoglou forced to adjust his squad against Sheffield United amidst players international game performance
Based on a few individual performances for their respective nations, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou could need to reevaluate his playing roster starting this weekend. With three victories and a draw from their first four league games, Spurs have performed admirably in the first month of the new season.
The aggressive drive displayed by Postecoglou’s team has been even more stunning, a long cry from what Tottenham looked like under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, respectively. The loss of Harry Kane on the eve of the new campaign sparked concerns about Spurs’ ability to score goals.
However, they’ve scored 11 goals in their first four games, including five in the excellent victory against Burnley before the break. Richarlison was benched in that game as Son Heung-min scored three goals.
In the middle of the field, Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr provided support for James Maddison, who added a goal to maintain his impressive start to life in north London. By making changes, Postecoglou has cemented his authority on the Tottenham team and made it obvious what his philosophy is.
And this weekend, with Brennan Johnson, a recent addition, eligible to make his debut, he will need to make a choice. The 22-year-old made an impression while representing Wales at the international level by helping them defeat Latvia 2-0 in a Euro 2024 qualifying match.
Ben Davies, who captained Wales in their 0-0 draw with South Korea, would have also likely entered Postecoglou’s mind. Manor Solomon will be counting on his efforts for Israel after they defeated Belarus and Romania by a combined four-point margin.
