Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham Hotspur manager, had his team win a thrilling 4-3 victory over Manchester United in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. The Spurs were leading 3-0 but nearly let United equalize through defensive errors, especially from goalkeeper Fraser Forster. Postecoglou defended his attacking tactics, invoking the famous line from the film Gladiator: "Are you not entertained?"
Critics, including pundits Jamie Carragher and Jamie Redknapp, have pointed to Tottenham's inability to change their game plan and in-game management as a reason for the team's lack of success. They say that sometimes more pragmatic tactics are required in certain situations.
But Postecoglou insists on playing an entertaining style of football, saying he doesn't grind out wins.
Going forward, Tottenham is scheduled to face Liverpool in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. Moreover, Postecoglou has given an encouraging update on defender Destiny Udogie, hoping he will return for the next Premier League match against Liverpool.
