Postecoglou has faced constant speculation over his position during a difficult winter period where a threadbare squad has struggled, but feels this rare clear midweek has offered them a reset opportunity, especially before their Europa League campaign resumes in the last-16 stage on March 6.
Ange Postecoglou will not let Tottenham’s Premier League campaign peter out despite the Europa League being the club’s last realistic opportunity to salvage an injury-ravaged season.
“You can’t ignore what’s happened and we’re still carrying remnants of that, the disappointment of the league season, the disappointment of going out in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup, the disappointment of Sunday,” Postecoglou said.
Spurs experienced 72 hours of cup disappointment last week with their Carabao Cup participation ended in the semi-final stage by Liverpool before a 2-1 loss at Aston Villa consigned them to an FA Cup fourth-round exit.
Tottenham were without 11 players for the Villa loss, but Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, James Maddison, Wilson Odobert and Brennan Johnson could return for Sunday’s visit of Manchester United.
