“That’s RIDICULOUS, Why would Ange say something like that before the clash with Man City?”- Simon Jordan was left shocked by Ange Postecoglou’s comments ahead of Tottenham’s match against Manchester City.
Tottenham Hotspur: Simon Jordan Stunned by Ange Postecoglou’s Comments Ahead of Manchester City Clash
Tottenham Hotspur will return to action on Wednesday night for a Carabao Cup match against Manchester City in north London. This game comes as a much-needed break from the Premier League, following another defeat against Crystal Palace over the weekend.
However, Spurs face additional challenges, with Wilson Odobert sidelined due to injury and Heung-min Son also absent. As the Premier League title slips further out of reach, cup competitions have become crucial for Tottenham this season, particularly given their long-standing trophy drought. The Carabao Cup presents a significant opportunity for them to secure silverware.
Pep Guardiola has indicated that he will field a weakened Manchester City team for the match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Postecoglou’s Comments Spark Outrage from Simon Jordan
Ahead of the match, Postecoglou defended his commitment to the League Cup, responding to suggestions that he doesn’t take it as seriously as other competitions. However, TalkSPORT’s Simon Jordan challenged this, recalling Tottenham’s elimination by Fulham in last season’s cup.
“When he talks about not making enough effort and dislikes being questioned, what is he referring to?” Jordan asked. “You fielded a weakened side against Fulham last year and lost. You left Son, Madison, and Kulusevski on the bench and played a second-string team for your own reasons. That’s not about effort; it’s about how you approached that specific game.”
Adding to the irony, Postecoglou is expected to start Timo Werner on Wednesday despite his poor performance this season.
Tottenham’s Predicted XI vs. Manchester City
Despite Mikey Moore impressing Glenn Hoddle in the Europa League last week, he is likely to be dropped from the starting lineup. Spurs rotated their squad in their last cup match against Coventry City, giving opportunities to players like Radu Dragusin.
Archie Gray may attract loan interest in January due to limited playing time, but he did play the full 90 minutes in the previous round. Postecoglou must consider the challenge posed by the reigning Premier League champions in a competition that Spurs fans are eager to win.
Predicted Spurs XI vs. Man City: Vicario; Gray, Dragusin, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Sarr, Kulusevski; Johnson, Richarlison, Werner.
