Andros Townsend: Tottenham Is ‘On The Right Track’ With Postecoglou

Andros Townsend, a former winger for Tottenham, expressed his conviction that his previous club ought to retain manager Ange Postecoglou, stating his belief that the team “are not far off” their desired position. During an appearance on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club, Townsend commented: He stated, “Everyone knows Ange’s philosophy. When Pep loses a match or when Klopp lost a match, nobody was saying ‘why don’t you change?’ Why don’t you play five at the back? Why don’t you play ugly? “He was brought in to bring that attacking football back to Tottenham, what they were renowned for 15/20 years ago and they’ve lost their way a bit.” Townsend continued, “I don’t think they’re far off – you don’t watch that game on Sunday and think ‘Chelsea outclassed us, they were miles better than us.’ “For the first 15 minutes Spurs were electric. Chelsea couldn’t play out, Tottenham scored two early goals, and then they’ve allowed them in the game. They got one or two injuries, and it just didn’t go their way.” He concluded by asserting, “I honestly believe they’re on the right track. They should stick with Ange and see where he can take them this season.” Chris Sutton, a former Premier League striker, echoed Townsend’s sentiments, remarking: “He’s been in the job 18 months – I think there needs to be a bit of patience.” Sutton added, “He won’t change – that’s what people need to get their head round.”
