Tottenham seem to be rediscovering their long-lost form, with Ange Postecoglou’s side stepping up when it mattered most by knocking Manchester United out of the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Their next challenge is the toughest one yet — a semi-final clash against Liverpool. Under Arne Slot’s guidance, Liverpool have transformed into a treble-chasing force, making this encounter Spurs’ toughest test yet.
Facing Liverpool will be Ange Postecoglou’s most daunting challenge yet. The Reds have suffered just one defeat across all competitions and currently top both the Premier League and Champions League tables. However, Tottenham’s unpredictability could make them a genuine threat. Known for their ability to defy expectations, Spurs do have the potential to change Liverpool’s course.
Ange believes Tottenham can take one step at a time
Ange Postecoglou has reignited Tottenham’s form, especially after guiding them to a crucial win over Manchester United in the Carabao Cup quarter-final. The result was a turning point for Postecoglou, who had faced criticism for poor Premier League results despite bold claims of winning trophies in his second season. Speaking after the win, he emphasised the significance of reaching the semi-finals, highlighting the team’s progress and the importance of upcoming fixtures. With a newfound sense of belief, Postecoglou aims to maintain Tottenham’s momentum in their pursuit of silverware.
Tottenham’s biggest hurdle remains their inconsistency, a flaw that derails their potential to become title contenders. With a well-balanced squad capable of challenging for silverware, their inability to maintain form puts added pressure on the team to deliver trophies.
Speaking to Alasdair Gold via Football.London, Ange explained
“We’re in a semi-final of a cup competition, so I think that’s something to reflect this progress for us and we’ve got an opportunity now, home and away to get to a final and we’ve earned that opportunity. It’s one to look forward to, but we’ve got important games starting this week, starting Sunday, that we’ve still got to get through and the mentality the boys are showing at the moment, we’re going to tackle these games in the same way we’ve tackled the ones in recent times.”
