Jamie Carragher admitted he was shocked by Ange Postecoglou’s success when leading Tottenham Hotspur.
Carragher spoke on “An Echo of Glory” and mentioned how quickly Ange has adapted to his team.
This expert also believes that there is real reason to be optimistic about the future under the head coach.
Carragher said:
“It’s the complete opposite of Tottenham.
“I can’t believe how well Tottenham are playing because it’s a change in football terms.
“And yes, I know he has brought players in but there are still a lot of players there who are used to a certain style of football under Conte and previous coaches.
“So to come in and do what he has done – not just results but performances.
“But you think it can only get better when he brings more players in and the players working with him every day.”
Carragher also went on to talk about how Postecoglou is making the most of a short period in which Tottenham are out of Europe.
And it’s hard to argue against any of the Liverpool man’s comments.
Carragher thinks Postecoglou is doing remarkably well at Tottenham
Of course, Carragher’s old side will be the next big test for Spurs.
And if anything, Jurgen Klopp’s side will be an even better barometer of where this Postecoglou side currently stands.
The North London derby was full of emotion, errors and passion, but Liverpool will be a different challenge.
Spurs do have a whole week to prepare his side given they were defeated by Fulham in the previous round of the EFL cup.
And Tottenham’s Postecoglou will no doubt have a keen eye on Carragher’s old side as they host Leicester City tonight.
Spurs have made a great start under their new manager, but it’s only that thus far.
Fans will be excited and optimistic, but wary that there is a long road to ahead.
