The north London derby could make or break the Australian's career
A win by the same score in the north London derby would not only appeal to ironic impulses among the Spurs diaspora, it would giveThere could be no better way for them to amplify their top-four credentials than with a victory over their haughty neighbours, one that on this occasion would propel them above, but won neither. In the peak flow of James Maddison-inspired creativity, Spurs gave full expression to Postecoglou’s attacking philosophy. Frustratingly the talking points were all negative.
To a degree, Postecoglou is still carrying the scars of that home defeat to City last season as the champions powered towards a fourth consecutive title. It was a contest that seemed to expose Postecoglou as a coach no nearer to repairing the “Spursy” fault lines that frame the club as one lacking substance when it matters.
Postecoglou took pride in his team’s performance but was unsettled by the atmosphere in the ground. He struggled to reconcile the view of fans advocating for a strategic defeat with a life’s work preparing teams to win, or at least to take it to the opposition unconditionally. In his second season he finds himself negotiating familiar Spurs territory, even if results do not reflect progress made.
