Gary Neville spotted what Ange Postecoglou was doing after Tottenham Hotspur’s shock 3-2 defeat away at Brighton.
Postecoglou’s side looked superb in the first-half as goals from James Maddison and Brennan Johnson saw them two goals to the good at the break. However, the second 45 minutes followed a different script as they managed to throw away their lead to slip to a 3-2 loss.
Tottenham looked rattled after Yankuba Minteh pounced on a mistake from Destiny Udogie and just 18 minutes later, the visitors found themselves behind.
The defeat means Spurs have now made their worst start to a Premier League season in 16 years and after the game, Postecoglou looked deflated by the result.
What Gary Neville spotted Ange Postecoglou doing after Tottenham defeat
Speaking about the pain of being a manager going into the international break off the back of a defeat, The Overlap discussed Postecoglou’s reaction to his team’s defeat to Brighton.
The 59-year-old was spotted standing in the centre circle looking dumbfounded at how his team had managed to throw away a two-goal lead.
Neville felt sorry for the Australian manager whilst Roy Keane claims that he will be heading to break questioning many things about himself and his team.
Neville said on The Overlap: “Did you see Ange on Sunday after the game when he was stood in the middle of the pitch just staring into space? It was excruciating. But the way in which he was just stood there just staring, it was almost as if time stood still.
Roy Keane responded by saying: “That’s a sore one. Then you take that into the international break, then you start questioning everything you’re doing, the training, the player you have, the characters you have.
“Even if they’d have drawn the game you take something away for that break and keep that momentum going.”
What Spurs changes can Postecoglou make vs West Ham?
Tottenham are likely to have Heung-min Son back fit after the international break to take the place of Timo Werner. The South Korean has missed the last four matches with a hamstring injury.
Udogie’s performance against Brighton was very poor and he could be swapped out for Djed Spence, however, Postecoglou is set to stick with the Italian for now.
Tottenham’s predicted line-up vs West Ham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Maddison, Kulusevski; Johnson, Son, Solanke.
