‘They are in danger…: Carragher shares ruthless discovery about Postecoglou’s Tottenham
Jamie Carragher believes that Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham could be at risk of being labeled as flat-track bullies.
Despite a slow start to the season, Tottenham have bounced back by securing victories in their last three matches.
A potential win against Manchester United at Old Trafford could further solidify their momentum, but their performance against top Premier League teams remains a concern.
Since Postecoglou took over, Spurs have embraced an attacking and attractive style of play. However, this approach has not consistently yielded the desired results against stronger opponents, particularly those from the upper half of the Premier League table. Carragher, in his latest column for The Telegraph, pointed out this weakness, highlighting Tottenham’s struggles against the top teams despite their promising form.
In the column, Carragher wrote, “Over Postecoglou’s 18 games against the clubs which finished in the top nine last season, Spurs have won four.
They are in danger of being seen as flat-track bullies. That must change.” This statistic reveals that Tottenham have struggled to secure victories in crucial matches against direct competitors.
While Tottenham managed to finish fifth in the previous season, and their playing style has earned praise, they continue to fall short in decisive matchups against top-tier rivals.
The four wins from 18 fixtures against teams that finished in the top nine last season indicate a clear need for improvement when it comes to performing in big games.
To compete with the elite teams in the Premier League, Tottenham must find a way to deliver results against their immediate rivals.
The upcoming match against Manchester United is not only a significant challenge but also an opportunity for Postecoglou’s side to prove that they can rise to the occasion in high-stakes situations.
A win at Old Trafford would send a strong message, dispelling the notion that Spurs can only dominate against weaker sides.
For Tottenham to be taken seriously as contenders, they must overcome this reputation of falling short in key matchups.
Postecoglou’s men have shown promise, but their ability to challenge the top teams will ultimately determine whether they can compete at the highest level.
Victory against United could be the statement win they need to shake off the “flat-track bully” label and establish themselves as serious competitors in the Premier League.
