Ange Postecoglou names two ‘very, very good’ Tottenham players who really impressed him vs Coventry
Given Ange Postecoglou’s comments about winning a trophy during his second season, it was immensely important that Tottenham Hotspur remained in the EFL Cup.
Coventry City transpired to be tricky opposition for Tottenham, and it felt as if Postecoglou’s side may suffer another blow once they w🎉ent behind in the second half.
But Spurs’ quality eventually told, and ♑the likes of Dejan Kulusevski made a significant con𒐪tribution from the bench, a player who hasn’t dropped his own standards this season.
That being said, Tottenham did ring the changes to their starting eleven for the game, handing starts to the likes of Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Wilson Odobert.
And althoꦫug♎h the latter suffered an unfortunate injury, both Gray and Bergvall thrived.
Ange Postecoglou praises Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall after Coventry comeback
Speaking after the comeback win via Spurs’ X account, Postecoglou took a moment to pr🔯aise both Gray and Bergvall – two players who evidently have a very high ceiling.
18-year-old Gray played 90 m🍌inutes at right-back, whereas Berꦜgvall was eventually replaced by James Maddison just before Coventry’s goal in the second half.

Praising the duo, Postecoglou 🐬said that both will play a ‘big part’ this season, a difficult night that will serve them well.
He s⛎a✅id: “They were both very, very good.They are going to play a big part in our season.
“This is their first start and I thought both handled it really well considering it’s not an easy place to come in a cup tie and they will be bett♐er for it.
“That was the idea for ♉it, we know with the programme tonight we are going to need a lot of💙 these boys to play a fair bit of football.”
James Maddison needs a big performance vs Brentford
Oไf course, regardless of winning against Coventry, it’s still clear that there’s room for improvement at Tottenham.
And when Brentford visit N17 on Saturday it certainly feels as if James Maddison needs ♏a big performance.
Paul Merson criticised Maddison after his North London derby showinᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚg – and the England midfielder’s gam🐼e has suddenly become very passive.
Spurs are missing a bit of cutting edge ri༒ght now, something Mꦆaddison would usually provide.
However, the 27-year-old often finds himself very deep in midfield when Tottenham are using a single-pivot, limiting how much influence♐🅘 he can have in attacking areas.
