Premier League-winner predicts Spurs may surprise people with how high they finish this season
Willaim Gallas is the latest pundit to count himself a member of the Ange Postecoglou fan club, with the former Tottenham centre-back blown away by the way the Australian has transformed the North London club.
There was plenty of doom and gloom surrounding Hotspur Way at the end of last season after the Antonio Conte experiment blew up in Daniel Levy’s face spectacularly.
There was massive discontent among large swaths of the fan base after the Lilywhites stumbled to an eighth-place finish last campaign and it is fair to say that many were sceptical about Postecoglou’s appointment, given his lack of experience at the top level.
To make matters worse, Tottenham had also lost their best player of the modern era in Harry Kane, which made the 58-year-old’s job even harder.
Gallas thinks Tottenham may surprise people this season
However, fast-forward six months and the mood at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is as upbeat as it was at the peak of the Mauricio Pocehttino era, with Spurs fans loving the football that the side is producing regularly.
Some supporters are perhaps even dreaming of an unlikely title run late in the season, and Gallas certainly believes that his former side can surprise a few people this season when they have their key stars back fit.
The Frenchman told Gambling Zone: “What Postecoglou has done at Tottenham has been unbelievable. Spurs play nice football and they press very well with a high defensive line. The players understand each other very well. When they play together they are so good.
“Against United, United were lucky. Tottenham didn’t have their best starting XI like Heung-min Son. Tottenham if they play with their best XI, they can do a lot of damage. They’ve dropped points because they’ve had their best players injured or suspended. Tottenham could be one of the teams that can surprise people in terms of their league position.”

Postecoglou has not only completely shown up all the excuses that Mourinho and Conte made at Spurs but he also made huge swaths of the Spurs fan base, who were defending those managers despite the horrid football they were producing, eat their words.
