5 games to assess Postecoglou

Spurs' Premier League Results Do Not Matter

Inconsistency comes about through poor mentality.

Unless you are in the midst of the injury crisis we were in and with players playing with 40% energy levels, then it is down to mentality.

Nothing else.

It isn't down to tactics...

It isn't down to a manager telling a team to go out and play badly.

That comes from the players...

They are the ones to blame for inconsistency.

It is in their head.

It is their thoughts...

Their attitude...

Their desire.

If that isn't there...

Then you get performances when they want to give them.

Our players are focused on the UEFA Europa League.

The Premier League is not important.

Finishing as high as we can...

Absolute nonsense.

They are simply PR (Public Relations) words to tell fans.

The reality is different.

What is the difference between finishing 8th or 13th in the Premier League?

No fan could give a monkey's.

The ONLY thing that matters is winning the UEFA Europa League...

And thereby securing UEFA Champions League football.

There are only 5 games that matter.

The quarter-finals...

The semi-finals...

And the final.

That's it.

They are the only games you can now assess Tottenham on.

You can assess whether he manager has them playing the system well.

You can assess whether it works.

You can assess the manager.

Those are the games the players are trying their utmost in.

Those are the games they are motivated for.

That will show the level of performance they can produce.

That will show the level of performance they will produce next season.
