Tottenham Hotspur supporters have a clear message for Ange Postecoglou following Dane Scarlett’s cameo against Ipswich Town.

The former Ipswich loanee came off the bench to record his first Premier League assist as he sꦚet up Dejan Kul🏅usevski’s goal against Kieran McKenna’s side.

Scarlett has become a surprise option for Ange Postecoglou after h♑aving had his loan spell at Oxford United cut short due to a lack of game time.

But now, the 20-year-old is quickly making a name fo🗹r himself in Lilywhꦑite having produced three goals and assists in three appearances under the Australian manager.

Tottenham fans want Ange Postecoglou to start Dane Scarlett over Mathys Tel

Tottenham Hotspur fans believe that Dane Scarlett is showing that he deserves to start over Mathys Tel after being impressed by his cameo at Portman๊ Road.

The Tottenham academy man🐟 came on with 16 minutes remaining and offered a strong outlet up top for Postecoglou꧂’s team.

Ku♏lusevski claimed Scarlett is Tཧottenham’s ‘most underrated player’ andꦯ the striker is starting to get the credit he deserves from the supporters.

Meanwhile,🌠 Tel looked somewhat off the pace against Ipswich – leaving Tottenham fans feeling a bit underwhelmed by their new addition’s start to life at the club.

After the game, Spurs fans took to X to share their thoughts on Scareltt’s impressive came🌊o against the Tractor Boys.

One fan said: “Dane Scarlett, 19 years old, holding off a big Ipswich lump to perform 🍒a wonderful flick on for Kulusevski! The Spurs academy man has been a positive influence each time he has appeared this season!”

“Don’t know if I look at that performance and look at the pe🐽rformance of Dane Scarlett and think ‘yeah, Tel deserves these minutes’,” added an♈other supporter.

There was yet more praise for Scarlett: “Job done, subs got us over the line. Dane Scarlett show꧟ing he has the strength Tel doesn’t quite have yet to flock on for Kulu’s classy goal.”

“That play from Scarlett for the flick on to Kulusevski, Tel cannot in a million years do that. Give Dane the start next time,” claimed another𓂃.

Why did Mathys Tel struggle as Tottenham beat Ipswich?

It was a tough ꦏafternoon in East Anglia fo🥃r Tel who attempted the fewest passes of any starter along with the second-fewest touches.

The striker also failed to register a single attempt at goal which just highlightℱs the teething problems the Frenchman is currently experiencing in the number nine role.

There is no doubt about Tel’s ability and the teenager will likely need time to grow into the physicality of English football. Spurs fans will💦 need to be patient.
