Ange ahead of Ipswich

Ange Postecoglou Tottenham v Ipswich pre-match press conference 8.11.24.mp4

00:00 - Intro.

00:08 - Coffee?: I’m on my third.

00:17 - Turnaround: Last night, the brief I got everyone came through unscathed. Romero is a chance for the weekend. Moore and Werner aren’t right for the weekend.

01:00 - Richarlison: Very disappointed, he worked awfully hard on rehab and fitness. Ultimately we just have to keep getting him back in there.

02:02 - Careful look at table?: Still a hell of a long way to go. We just need to keep progressing. Our football has been consistent.

03:00 - Lloris book, clubs mentality: I haven’t read what Hugo said, you have to put context on these things. It could have been a very successful period in the club. It’s easy to focus on the negative. There was a lot right.

04:15 - Van de Ven: After the break, when after we’ll dictate his progress.

04:46 - Son: For Sonny, he had the injury, brought him back and he had a relapse. We don’t want I put people in that cycle. We can’t more injuries in that position.

06:00 - Ipswich: Every weekend has its potential to hurt you if you’re not at your best. They got close last week. McKenna has done an unbelievable job. Credit to him, we’re expecting a tough one.

07:03 - Open Premier League: apart from Liverpool no one’s hit real consistency. It feels more open.

08:23 - Number 9s back?: I know we love a trend but there’s a lewandowski, Kane. They’ve always been around. We’re happy with Solanke, he’s become a leader on the field.

10:06 - Convincing players of ambitions: That’s a daily progress. How do you know where that’s going to take you. That ambition to improve everyday diminishes.

11:45 - Kulusevski in the middle: With Decky, the way we play wingers doesn’t suit his personality. I could see he wanted to give more.

13:07 - I looked at his background. It’s not that he can’t play there, he got put there because he was effective.

13:45 - What does he need to add?: Constant improvement on everything. He’s got lofty ambitions as a player.
