Former Liverpool star Jermaine Pennant claims he's not buying Postecoglou's steadfast belief in himself
Unbowed Ange Postecoglou 's booming Tottenham prediction has been used against him by a withering pundit citing a league which hasn't existed in 11 years.
Former Liverpool star Jermaine Pennant claims he's not buying Postecoglou's steadfast belief that trophies are coming Tottenham's way for the first time in 16 years in the wake of a chastening experience on the south coast. The former Celtic boss was fuming after Spurs' capitulation against Brighton before the international break. The Aussie was left ashen-faced as his players went from scintillating to shameful en route to a shock 3-2 defeat.
And Pennant – known for his strong opinions – reckons Postecoglou's CV is the cause for concern when factoring in his big opinions. Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: "Every second season he's won something, so he can say that. But he's got to understand that he's now in the Premier League. It's not the SPL. It's not the Aussie A-League. It's the Premier League. To win something here, you've got to be a good manager and have a good team.
The Scottish Premiership hasn't been called the 'SPL' for 13 seasons, and while many reckon that switch-up was an own goal to our brand, it is an out of date term which undersells the work Postecoglou achieved during his two trophy-laden years in Glasgow.
Meanwhile, former Spurs star Aaron Lennon would love Postecoglou to rock Spurs' world with silverware, however, he is unsure if it will come to pass. He said: "I'm not so sure. Don't me wrong, I love Ange and I love the way they play. But I also think there's times in games that there's too many forward players on the pitch. You've got your full backs bombing on also, and I think you just get left exposed.
