Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou remains confident in Fraser Forster's abilities despite the goalkeeper making two costly errors during their 4-3 win against Manchester United.
Ange Postecoglou said he will not stop asking Fraser Forster to play out from the back despite the stand-in goalkeeper's two howlers in Tottenham 's 4-3 win over Manchester United . Forster's errors, both with the ball at his feet, threatened to throw away all of Tottenham 's good work to give themselves a three-goal buffer in the Carabao Cup quarter-final, before Heung-Min Son's late fourth saw them over the line to set up a semi-final clash with Liverpool.
Both mistakes were booed from the home stands with Spurs fans fearing yet another collapse this season, having already thrown away two-goal advantages against Brighton and Chelsea, and giving up leads in each of their last three home games. Forster has previously shown himself to be far less comfortable playing out from the back than Spurs' regular No 1 Guglielmo Vicario, but Postecoglou has steadfastly asked him to continue in his unflinching style. When asked for his thoughts as he watched Forster's seven-minute nightmare unfold, Postecoglou said: 'It's fair to say in 26 years, there's been a few of those . 'But I've always thought the pros well outweigh the cons. Those moments are rare, but when they happen they stand out. Today, there was two, and the first one affected Fraser for that next period. 'He's disappointed, but he was outstanding for us. He didn't have a lot to do before then, and in the first half I thought he found some great solutions with his feet, but obviously the first probably affected his confidence. He lost a bit of belief and then the second one compounds it. 'He's a big boy, he's another one who's stood up for us. I can't speak highly enough of this group of player
