Poyet sees Tottenham’s wild inconsistency under Ange and says things have not changed since he played for them

ANGE POSTECOGLOU may be experiencing a wildly inconsistent season - but for Gus Poyet, things at Spurs are the same as they ever were. Tottenham started off last week beating Southampton 5-0 and Manchester United 4-3 in the Carabao Cup - but then were trounced 6-3 at home to Liverpool on Sunday.

It means supporters never know what to expect from Postecoglou's side. But Poyet sees no difference to how things were when he was playing for the club 20 years ago. And the Uruguayan does not believe that will change until the club fundamentally switches at its core.

“We were there, we were able to beat the best team and then have the worst results. I remember being 3-0 up against Manchester United at home and we lost 5-3. “How can you be so good in the first half and so bad in the second half?. “This year against Brighton was the same. Two-nil up at half-time and then they lost 3-2.
“Things, they don’t change, until there is something from inside, and I mean right from the core, that change. “In Spurs, that core didn’t change over the years. It’s more or less the same.”. Some supporters believe that change would involve chairman Daniel Levy and owners ENIC departing the club.
There was a protest ahead of the Liverpool game, and some balloons were released in the 24th minute to signify 24 years of ENIC ownership. But Poyet did not single out Levy or the way the club is run as the core switch that is needed - more a mentality shift akin to opponents Liverpool where everything is calmer.
