Michail Antonio is convinced that Ange Postecoglou is building something special at Tottenham Hotspur and that the Lilywhites’ form will turn when they have their key players back.
Spurs fell to their third successive home defeat against West Ham on Thursday and looking back at those three matches, it is almost impossible to fathom how the Lilywhites ended up on the losing side in all three, having had periods of complete domination in all of those games.
It was a familiar story once again on Thursday night as the home side came firing out of the blocks and took the game to the Hammers, but were unable to make the scoreline reflect their superiority, heading into half-time with just a 1-0 lead.
A lucky bounce for Jarred Bowen and a lapse in concentration at the back by Destiny Udogie is all it took in the second period for the away side to turn the result around and emerge with a smash-and-grab win.
Antonio thinks Spurs could do something special
David Moyes was extremely complimentary of Tottenham following the full-time whistle, insisting that they are as good a side as any they have faced this season (Sky Sports).
Antonio, who missed the game due to an injury, also spoke highly of Ange Postecoglou’s men, backing them to be a force once a few more players return from injury.
The 33-year-old said on the Footballer’s Football Podcast about Spurs: “If they can keep doing what they are doing and picking up points until they get their good players back, they are definitely in with a chance of doing something special this year.
“The way the manager has been managing them and the way they started their season before the injuries happen, you can’t not think they will be in and around it.”
Spurs Web Opinion
While results like the ones against Villa and West Ham are extremely frustrating, there are still plenty of positives to take from these performances.
The reality is that we would have ended up with a 1-0 win on Thursday if not for a couple of extremely lucky bounces for West Ham in the second half.
There is no doubt that we should have been more decisive in the final third but we played with more control than we have for most of the season, hardly giving any chances away throughout the 90 minutes.
