Ange Postecoglou, in the opinion of the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie O’Hara, ought to give some promising young players a chance instead of calling up Eric Dier, Ben Davies, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
You see O’Hara’s point now.
Why would Eric Dier, Ben Davies, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg be considered adequate now if they weren’t previously? Due to the absences of Christian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and James Maddison at Wolves, Ange Postecoglou had to substitute him back into his starting lineup. All three of them contributed to Wolves’ 2-1 victory in stoppage time, chasing shadows as Pablo Sarabia scored the equaliser and set up Mario Lemina’s winner.
Speaking to talkSPORT on November 13, at 11 a.m., O’Hara feels that Postecoglou would have been better served by looking forward rather than dwelling on Spurs’ lacklustre history.
Spurs fans still require a clear out.
“I think Ben Davies is cute. He’s a decent boy. He is able to work. The Eric Dier However, O’Hara contends that the fans are ready to move past that generation of athletes. “These players you’re trying to cut have to play again when we pick up injuries.
The manager needs to take a position. “If I lose a couple of players, I need to try something more new,” should be Postecoglou’s words. A couple of boys from the under-23s (try out). The same outcome is obtained if you return to Dier and Davies. I would rather lose to Wolves with a U23 player and say, ‘He’s only halfway decent,'” (Eusebioglou)
Significant exits are on the horizon.
Playing devil’s advocate, we would contend that it is a recipe for disaster to start a few unproven young players in the starting lineup, especially away at Molineux and in place of some of Spurs’ best players.
Despite this, neither Dier nor Hojbjerg in particular demonstrated much in a rare start to indicate that they can be crucial to Postecoglou’s reconstruction, with Romero and Maddison’s drop-off being particularly noticeable.
