Ange Postecoglou is 'sensitive' to critics in 'stubborn' refusal to adjust Tottenham tactics - Martin Keown

Published 27/03/2025 at 09:03 GMT

Pressure continues to mount on Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou as his side sit 14th in the Premier League table. A 2-0 defeat to Fulham saw Spurs record their 15th Premier League loss of the season before the international break, and TNT Sports pundit Martin Keown believes the Spurs boss has become "sensitive" to critics over his reluctance to adjust his tactics this season.

‘He’s become very sensitive’ – Keown questions Postecoglou’s refusal to adapt style

Video credit: TNT Sports

Martin Keown feels Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has become "sensitive" to criticism over his tactics, as his side remain on pace to record their lowest Premier League finish in over 20 years.

After a 3-1 win over AZ Alkmaar sent Spurs through to the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, Postecoglou's side suffered a chastening 2-0 loss to Fulham in the Premier League heading into the international break.

It marked their 15th loss in the league this season and having picked up just 34 points, Postecoglou has nine matches left to ensure his side do not make unwanted history with a record low total.

Speaking on TNT Sports' The Breakdown, former Arsenal defender Keown suggested Postecoglou is not receptive to "new information" regarding his tactics, and questioned the Spurs manager's response to being criticised over his approach.

"I think Postecoglou, he's become very sensitive to what we're saying," Keown said. "And it doesn't matter what we're saying, you need to find a way to win games.

"I feel sometimes that in the book of knowledge there has to be spare pages for new information. I'm watching him thinking, 'Where is the new information? Can you take that on board if you're working with him?'"

Spurs' lowest points tally in the Premier League era came in 1997/98 with 44, when they finished 13th in a season which saw Christian Gross succeed Gerry Francis as manager.

Should Spurs remain 14th, it would be the lowest Premier League finish since 2003/04. Since the top-flight's rebrand in 1992, the club also finished 14th in 1997/98 and 15th in 1993/94.

Postecoglou has been tasked with overcoming a sizeable list of injuries to key squad members this season.

Micky van de Ven has missed 30 games across all competitions for Spurs due to injury, while central defensive partner Cristian Romero has also missed much of the campaign. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, left-back Destiny Udogie and striker Dominic Solanke have also been among the long-term absentees.

However, Keown said that Postecoglou's high-octane playing style may have contributed to their injury woes.

"They play a high press game which is probably detrimental to injuries anyway," added Keown.

"And the two central defenders, they don't come up and stand sideways on ready to drop - they're square on and it's demanding. Van de Ven, the amount of times he's pulled a hamstring doing that.

"I was in an Arsenal team that was famous for offsides, but sometimes we were like, 'hold on a minute this isn't working, we're gonna drop 20 yards, we're gonna adjust.'

"But when a manager is just hard-fast, seems stubborn, doesn't want to adjust to any tactics... there's got to be more than that to management. I've not done it myself so it's bloody easy sitting here saying it.

"But we do question it because we can't believe that you don't adjust."

Modern managers 'clinging onto a style that is non-negotiable' - Ferdinand

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand said that Tottenham's injury crisis meant Postecoglou should have been more "adaptable" this campaign.

"You can't rip out the goalkeeper and two centre-halves and one of the best of left-backs from the season before, have a captain [Son Heung-min] that's in indifferent form, a striker you've invested massive money in whose injured, and go 'oh we're gonna be the same," Ferdinand said.

"You have to be adaptable. That's been the common word that has been used here that isn't being played out in the league this year."

Postecoglou is not the only manager wedded to a fixed style. Manchester United's Ruben Amorim also has a clear philosophy and has shown little inclination to deviate from it.

"I think the problem is that today's generation of managers are all clinging onto a style of football that is non-negotiable," added Ferdinand.

"Only the best teams can do that. Only Barcelona under Pep Guardiola, Man City in their pomp... even Sir Alex Ferguson was adaptable. When we played away from home in Europe, we would play 4-5-1 at times without the ball. In the Premier League against teams we should beat, it was 4-3-3, gung-ho.

"But nowadays, it's almost fashionable to say 'this is me, this is my style of football, and you are going to have to work with it no matter what'."

United sit one place above Spurs in the Premier League, with the two clubs on a collision course to meet in the UEFA Europa League final - a final shot at silverware that doubles up as a route into next season's Champions League.

On a busy day of WSL action, West Ham United kicked things off with an impressive victory over London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, thanks to an own goal and a last-minute free-kick. Manchester City are set to host Chelsea in a top-of-the-table clash later on Sunday, before Leicester City face Brighton & Hove Albion and struggling Aston Villa meet third-placed Manchester United at Villa Park.

West Ham United beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at Victoria Road to climb above their London rivals and go eighth in the Women's Super League table.

An own goal from Josefine Rybrink and a late Viviane Asseyi free-kick proved the difference between the teams.

Both sides began with plenty of attacking intent, but it was the hosts who had the game's first meaningful effort. Riko Ueki did well to set up Katrina Gorry, whose shot was well blocked.

Spurs created the best chance of the early stages, though, when the ball fell to Ella Morris in the box. Her driven shot was straight at goalkeeper Kinga Szemik, who could only parry in the direction of Martha Thomas. But the out-of-form striker failed to connect properly, and West Ham escaped.

Tottenham were made to pay for that miss just a few minutes later. Verena Hanshaw drove into the box and drilled the ball across the face of goal, generating enough power to see the deflection off Rybrink deceive goalkeeper Lize Kop. It went down as an own goal for the unlucky Rybrink.

Spurs attempted to put some pressure on West Ham in response, but the final ball was lacking and the hosts dealt relatively comfortably with any crosses into the box.

While Tottenham huffed and puffed, the Hammers nearly made it 2-0 just after the half-hour mark when a scramble in the box fell to Shekiera Martinez, who could only turn and fire a shot wide from close range.

And an even better chance was squandered moments later as Oona Siren met a flicked-on corner and looked certain to score, only to guide her header straight at Kop from a few yards out.

Spurs searched for an equaliser before the break, with Drew Spence sending a shot wide before Eveliina Summanen struck the bar with a sumptuous free-kick.

The second half began with more Tottenham territory, but their struggles to break teams down and their vulnerability at the back appeared to be a continuing theme.

West Ham threatened from a corner again and Riko Ueki saw a header fly over the bar.

Tottenham were still a threat, though, and came close to a leveller when Morris surged down the right, cutting the ball back for Thomas, whose misfortune in front of goal continued with an effort that struck the post.

Soon after, Spence saw appeals for a penalty waved away after she went down in the box. And the frustration was growing for Spurs as the clock ticked down, particularly after Thomas had another half-chance, this time heading straight at Szemik.

As Spurs committed more players forward, they were picked off by West Ham, who sealed victory in the 90th minute through Asseyi, whose wide free-kick evaded everyone and found the bottom corner.

Two of the Gallagher Premiership's most successful clubs will go toe-to-toe this weekend as Saracens and Harlequins collide at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Both sides are still in the hunt for a spot in the top four after 11 matches, but some viewers may be wondering why this famous fixture is being contested at the home of Tottenham Hotspur. Here is the reason why.

We are into the second half of the Gallagher Premiership Rugby season, and there is still everything to play for ahead of one of the most highly-anticipated matches of the campaign.

Saracens and Harlequins are in the hunt for one of the coveted top four spots, and the two London clubs will collide at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, live on TNT Sports and discovery+ on Saturday.

Sarries are currently fifth in the table, just one point behind Leicester Tigers in fourth.

Premiership

Gallagher Prem winners? W6N champions? Lions to triumph? YOU DECIDE

Quins are in sixth after 11 matches, two points behind Mark McCall's side and three off a place in this season's Gallagher Premiership semi-final spots.

The match looks set to be a thrilling affair, but some fans may be wondering, why are these two iconic clubs going toe-to-toe at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend?

Why are Saracens playing Harlequins at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?

As a marquee fixture in the Gallagher Premiership, Saracens against Harlequins is one that attracts a crowd far surpassing the capacities of their home stadiums.

Indeed, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium can house over 62,000 fans - more than quadruple either The Stoop or StoneX Stadium.

The fixture has been known as 'The Showdown' since 2023, and had previously been held at iconic grounds like Wembley Stadium and London Stadium under the name 'Derby Day'.

After Sarries against Quins was dubbed The Showdown, the London derby started to be contested at the home of Tottenham Hotspur instead.

It was announced that the fixture would continue to be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium until at least 2028 last September.

The Showdown has taken place on the same weekend following the end of the Six Nations every year since its inception.

Who won previous editions of The Showdown?

Saracens beat Bears 27-23 in the first edition of The Showdown in 2022, before running out 36-24 winners against Quins the following year.

It was a far more one-sided affair last term, as Sarries stormed to a 52-7 triumph over their London rivals in front of 61,214 fans.

When is The Showdown?

The Showdown will kick off at 15:05 GMT on Saturday, March 22.

The match will be shown live on TNT Sports and discovery+, with coverage set to get underway at 14:30.

WSL round-up: Fran Kirby strike gives Brighton & Hove Albion win at Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace defeat Aston Villa

Updated 16/03/2025 at 18:18 GMT

England international Fran Kirby struck late in the first half to give Brighton & Hove Albion three points on Sunday afternoon, with the win lifting them into fifth place. Earlier in the day, relegation contenders Crystal Palace and Aston Villa played in London, as Palace gave themselves hope of staying up in the WSL with a victory against the Midlanders.

Brighton & Hove Albion ended a seven-match streak without a WSL win at Tottenham on Sunday afternoon, and Crystal Palace beat Aston Villa.

The away side grabbed all three points when Fran Kirby scored just before the end of the first half, steering her effort low into the corner, and they may consider themselves unfortunate not to have scored more.

Marisa Olislagers went close earlier in the first half when Spurs keeper Lize Kop prevented her from scoring straight from a corner, and Kop again had to beat away another effort from Olislagers.

Olislagers was at the heart of the breakthrough when her shot struck Ella Morris. The ball was picked up by Rachel McLauchlan, who teed up Kirby to strike from close range.

Tottenham were without Bethany England, their top scorer this season, and they were unable to put much pressure on the visitors.

The win takes Brighton to fifth place, a point ahead of Liverpool. Tottenham sit seventh, eight points clear of Palace.

The bottom-of-the-table clash between Villa and Palace saw the Londoners emerge victorious.

Palace went ahead on 33 minutes through Aniek Nouwen when the defender, making her debut on loan from Chelsea, met a flick-on from Allyson Swaby to head past goalkeeper Sabrina D’Angelo.

Palace’s lead doubled through Ashleigh Weerden eight minutes into the second half, when the winger shot from the edge of the penalty area.

Villa continued to push and hit the woodwork through Jordan Nobbs, on as a substitute, who also went close with a later free-kick, and the pressure eventually told when defender Lucy Parker grabbed a late goal.

The home side then re-established their two-goal advantage five minutes into stoppage time after an error from D’Angelo, with the goalkeeper losing possession out of her area to Katie Stengel.

The win for the bottom-placed side, just Palace's second of the season, moved them one point behind Villa as the relegation battle intensified.

Tottenham suffered their 15th Premier League defeat of the season when they lost 2-0 to Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon. Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou accepted that his side had lost too many games so far this season, but also suggested his club were unfairly treated in comparison to others, when discussing Lucas Bergvall's penalty appeal.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou admitted that his side’s performances this season were "unacceptable" after a 2-0 defeat to Fulham on Sunday.

Spurs lost to two second-half goals in a display that saw the away side’s fans express their dissatisfaction with the team.

Mathys Tel, who joined on loan from Bayern Munich in the winter transfer window, had a heated exchange as he discussed the defeat with fans in the crowd after the match.

Postecoglou has had to negotiate a severe injury crisis throughout much of the season, but frustration has grown from some fans with the Australian’s approach to the match, as he again stuck to his attacking instincts despite playing teenage midfielders in central defence at times.

Speaking in a press conference on Sunday afternoon, Postecoglou said that he understood the supporters’ disappointment.

He said: "I get their disappointment. It's unacceptable to see 15 league defeats. It's nowhere near good enough, nowhere near the level we need to be, and I understand the supporters' frustrations with that.

"Today wasn't so much about performance, it was just another day when we let a game get away from us that we shouldn't have. We weren't played off the park and I felt that up until the point they scored, we were the team that was getting on top.

"We had a couple of good chances to go 1-0 up and that would have put the pressure on them, but it's happened too many times this year.

"We've given the opposition a lift into the game by conceding soft goals."

Another source of upset for Postecoglou was the failure of referee Andrew Madley to award a foul against Calvin Bassey, when he caught Lucas Bergvall in the Fulham penalty with the score at 1-0.

Postecoglou suggested that Tottenham do not get decisions as favourably as other clubs.

He added: "I'll leave that to the officials, but I will say that we don't carry on like a lot of other clubs and I think that hurts us for sure.

"I don't think there's ever any noise around us and decisions. We get one slightly in our favour and there's national headlines for a week. Things go against us and there's not even a sentence on it."
