“I was going to say. He has this determination about him. He has this crazy energy, and it’s this energy that he transmits to the team. He has crazy energy. This coach is something crazy. He reminds a little of Graham [Potter]. He has this crazy energy, it’s incredible,” he told .

Manager’s appointment a game-changer for midfielder and Tottenham fans

Those who watched Postecoglou’s Celtic side knew that there was the potential for him to do well at Tottenham. They have endured some disappointing years. But they are a club with a lot of potential.

But few could have imagined that Postecoglou would start so well. He has taken absolutely no time at all to capture the imagination of supporters. They play some of the most exciting football in the Premier League. And clearly, it is leading to some success.

Many seemingly still need convincing that Spurs are really going to be in the title picture this season. It is not yet clear whether they have the squad depth to compete over the entirety of the campaign.

But there is absolutely no question that they have made rapid progress under Postecoglou. And Tottenham fans now have a team which they can identify with and actually really like.

Yves Bissouma is one of those who is absolutely central to this new Tottenham team.
