Tottenham are making ready for an essential journey to Liverpool this weekend, however how optimistic are the followers about Ange Postecoglou’s reign thus far?
The Reds’ season has gone up in smoke, with their Premier League title problem dying a demise, however a powerful finish to the marketing campaign remains to be wanted.
On Sunday, Jurgen Klopp‘s aspect host Spurs at Anfield, with the north Londoners badly in want of factors if they’re to displace Aston Villa from the highest 4.
With the sport not too distant, we spoke to Spurs fan Sam Hawkey (@samhawkey) to get the lowdown on life below Postecoglou, Liverpool’s poor type and rather more.
How optimistic has this season been? A step ahead or backwards?
I believe ahead. It’s enjoyable to observe Tottenham once more.
Now we have an identification, thrilling gamers and an attacking type of soccer.
Dropping Harry Kane and getting relative unknown Ange Postecoglou in had me fearing the worst, however there may be heaps to construct on.
How completely satisfied are you with Ange Postecoglou general?
General I’m fairly completely satisfied. I believe the query remains to be whether or not Postecoglou is tactically astute sufficient.
I like the brand new manner we play when it’s in full flight, however how does it adapt to totally different conditions?
Newcastle away confirmed us all what occurs if you stubbornly don’t change to what’s in entrance of you.
Who’ve been Tottenham’s finest and worst gamers this season?
There have been a number of good performers with no standout, in my view.
James Maddison pre-injury was one other stage, Guglielmo Vicario has carried out effectively and Micky van de Ven has additionally been spectacular.
Within the first half of the season, Yves Bissouma was glorious, too.
Numerous accidents have gotten in the way in which of making the momentum we noticed early within the season, so there hasn’t been a star performer.
Who would you prefer to win the title now? Silly query?
Anybody however Arsenal, clearly.
I need them to lose it greater than I need Spurs to get prime 4, if I’m sincere!
I do wish to see Klopp do it as an ideal send-off. I’ve cherished having him within the Premier League, however a Liverpool win is fairly unlikely now.
The parade with simply the League Cup may not be look!
What do you suppose has gone mistaken for Liverpool? Did the Klopp announcement assist?
I hate this concept that one thing has gone mistaken.
I’ve seen a younger, new group enjoying effectively, getting proper to the enterprise finish of most competitions and looking out thrilling.
Let’s not neglect Liverpool are doing this with far much less cash than the opposite massive golf equipment – that’s why all this “is Klopp a premier league legend?” questioning is complete nonsense.
I don’t suppose the announcement mattered, it simply made them need it a bit extra, which isn’t any unhealthy factor.
When you may solely have one Liverpool participant at Spurs, who would it not be?
Virgil van Dijk.
Think about him subsequent to the tempo of Micky!
As for Sunday, the place will the important thing battles happen?
Who’s extra on it out of Alexis Mac Allister and Maddison might be pivotal.
When these guys are correctly on the highest of the sport, their groups have a tendency to come back alive. It ought to be one.
Lastly, what’s your prediction?
Liverpool 2-2 Spurs.
