Tottenham fans call for Ange Postecoglou to make major selection decision and bench £22m attacker vs Aston Villa

Tottenham Hotspur fans have called for Ange Postecoglou to drop one of their key attackers against Aston Villa following his underwhelming display at Liverpool.

Tottenham crashed out of the Carabao Cup at the haꩵnds of Arne Slot’s team and failed to register aꦐ single attempt on target at Anfield.

Postecoglou’s squad has been seri🐠ously stretched by injuries a𝄹nd many matches meaning key players who have stayed fit look dead on their feet.

Spurs fans have now called for their manager to rotate ahead of the trip to Villa Park with some big changes being m💦ade to their attacking line.

Tottenham fans call for Heung-min Son to be dropped vs Aston Villa

Tottenham fans want Ange Postecoglou to drop Son Heung-min to the bench against Aston Villa with Mikey Moore taking his place on the left.

Postecoglou admitted Son needs a rest ahead of their defeat to Liverpoo🐲l and his performance on Merseyside proved that was the case.

The attacker looked well off the pace against the Reds managing just two attemp𝕴ts at goal and completing just tenꦺ passes in 90 minutes.

Ahead of the fourth round FA Cup tie, Tottenham fans took to X to s🌳hare their desire for the captain to be rest for the game at Villa Park.

“He needs to put Son on the bench next match against Aston Villa, we need playe💜rs on the pitch that at least try.

“Play Moore, Bergvall and Gray in his position now we have a full de♒fence, if not, finish the season and look for another coach who can work with the players,” claimed one fꦏan.

Another supporter said: “Aston Villa is an import🐽ant game. Can’t afford to go out against them. Ange ne✃eds to pick the lineup purely on form and who is playing with fight.

“Hopefully, a couple of players can be back for the game. Kulusevski ♉needs to be in midfield, and Son needs to be benched.”

There were yet more shouts for Son to be dropped: “I don’t want to see Son, Bentancur or Bissouma starting in t🌺his game! Trust the yout💃h!

“The youth players h✃ave shown more leadership than any of our senior players who are not injured ex🔯cept maybe Kulusevski.”

Finally, another fan said: “Son should be on the bench where 🦋he belongs, he plays the same game whenev💙er he’s not the central striker.”

How could Ange Postecoglou set up Tottenham vs Aston Villa?

Postecoglou has been impressed wi🍎tಌh Tel in training and the Frenchman is poised to make his fi♛rst start for the North London club.

Richarlison ☂suffered a calf injury against Liverpool meaning the Brazilian coul✃d face another extended period on the sidelines.

So, Postecoglou could line up against Villa with a f🔯ront three of Moore, Tel and Dejan Kulu𓆉sevski.
