Tottenham Hotspur fans are guaranteed to be wanting it all from Ange Postecoglou by next season, according to Chris Sutton.

It has been a sensational start to life under the Australian in north London and Champions League football seems to be a real possibility this season.

However, the former Celtic striker seems to feel that fans may quickly begin to demand more from Postecoglou at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Sutton guarantees demands from Tottenham fans

There is very little to complain about in north London currently given the circumstances of Postecoglou still being in his first year of the job.

The 58-year-old landed from Sutton’s former club, Celtic, in the summer and he has had a lot to deal with in recent months.

A huge injury crisis over the winter was then paired with players leaving on international duty to various different tournaments.

Despite this, we find ourselves in fourth spot and just seven points off the top.

Yet, speaking on BBC’s Monday Night Club, Sutton has provided a guarantee involving the N17 faithful: “I think we are at a stage where fans want absolutely everything now. They want the lot,” he said.

“I guarantee you next season there will be Tottenham fans under Postecoglou who will say that they need to be a bit more pragmatic. Wait and see.”

More to come from Postecoglou

It would be incredibly harsh to provide any real criticism of Postecoglou from his early time at the club.

However, if there was something to point the finger at, then perhaps it is the lack of clean sheets we are currently keeping.

Following the game on the weekend, we are now 15 Premier League games deep with just one clean sheet to our names.

It has to be said that isn’t quite good enough, but there has to be some context to come with that statistic.

We did go a large period of the winter without Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero playing in the middle of the defence.

As a result, we often played with a backline made purely of full-backs, but there may also be some blame in the free-flowing football on display.

No doubt, if this is the sacrifice we have to make to play more exciting football then we’ll accept that.

However, maybe we will demand a little bit more from our defensive displays if it is something which potentially holds us back from the top four or even pushing for the title in the future.
