Ange Postecoglou thinks Tottenham’s ‘exciting player’ who he’s played just eight times can help them ‘finish the season strong’
Ange Postecglou was really impressed by the performance of one of his returning players against Manchester City despite the defeat.
Tottenham Hotspur suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Manchester City as Erling Haaland’s first-half goal proved to be the match’s decisive momen💟t.
The defeat ends Spurs’ run of three games on the bounce 🎃and sees them drop into 13th place with Crystal Palace jumping above them.
But regardless of the result, Postecoglou noticed some positive signs with one of those be🥃ing the display of one of his returning attacking players.
Ange Postecoglou really excited about Wilson Odobert’s impact
Ange Postecoglou is really excited about the impact Wilson Odobert could have on the remainder ⛄of the season following his first start sin🤡ce September.
Odobe✱rt returned from a hamstring injury against Manchester Uniteꦰd as he came off the bench to produce a pr🔥omising cameo.
The Spurജs boss thought the ꦜ19-year-old was “great” against the champions and could be an “exciting player” for the team.
Speaking about Odobert’s first start since September, Postecoglou told the media: “Yeah, I thought he was great! It was important th🐎at he, Destiny and Brennan got some minutes tonight, again it’s one thing to get guys back from injury but we need to get them up to speed as quickly as we can.
“You can s💖ee Wilson hasn’t played for a while but you can also see the quality he has I thoug🐽ht he really grew into the game second half.
“I thought he was a big catalystও in the second half, he was running at the opposition – he’s an exciting player and if I can manage him through this period and get him to a decent level of fitness, I’m sure he’ll help us finish the season strong.”
Wilson Odobert’s promising performance against Manchester City
Postecoglou was right, Odobert🙈 was always trying to run at City’s defence on Wednesday evening as he competed two out of his four attempted dribbles.
Not m🧔any of Spurs’ wide men have shown a willingness to do so this season so the Frenchman also adds something a bit different to Postecoglou’s team.
