Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou remains resolute in his attacking philosophy, despite a 4-1 defeat to Chelsea on Monday, November 6. Despite a challenging situation, Postecoglou’s tactics drew both praise and criticism during the match.
In the chaotic London derby, Tottenham played with just nine men after early red cards for Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie. Postecoglou maintained an incredibly high defensive line throughout the game, refusing to abandon his attacking principles.
While the tactic had moments of success, it ultimately backfired, allowing Chelsea players to find space and leading to a 4-1 victory for Chelsea, thanks to Nicolas Jackson’s hat-trick.
After the game, Postecoglou defended his approach, saying, “It is just who we are mate, it is who we are and who we will be for as long as I am here. If we go down to five men, we will have a go.”
