Leon Osman says Ange Postecoglou did something he’s not seen before after Tottenham loss to Crystal Palace

Tottenham loss to Crystal Palace on Sunday, and, once again, questions are being asked of Ange Postecoglou.

Postecoglou has been questioned throughout this season, and the Australian is once again under the spotlight after this defeat.

Spurs sit in mid-table in the Premier League after nine games, and it’s at this time of the season that big decisions are made on managers.

Ange Postecoglou was not happy

Osman shared what he noticed about Postecoglou in his interviews.

The pundit says that the Tottenham manager as more frosty than he has ever been.

“You show character in those moments, and I’ve never seen him as frosty as that in interviews. You can be outplayed at times, the opposition can show more quality, but they better not outwork us or show more bottle, and that seems like where he’s very disappointed with his team,” Osman said.

What Sam Allardyce has said about Postecoglou’s personality

Osman says that Postecoglou was frosty after this loss to Palace, and, interestingly, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard this.

Indeed, Sam Allardyce has also commented on how grumpy Postecoglou can be.

“I wish he would cheer up by the way. When he comes on for the media. He puts his head down and he hardly looks. I wish he would show a bit more of his personality because he does have a personality with his players,” Allardyce said.

Postecoglou is someone who does have plenty of personality. The Tottenham manager showed his lighter side in pre-season, but after a defeat against a team like Crystal Palace, it’s easy to understand why he wouldn’t be too happy.

Postecoglou’s mood certainly isn’t going to improve until Tottenham start to move up the Premier League table.

Tottenham need to step things up in the coming weeks, because their start to the season has been underwhelming to say the least.
