Ange Postecoglou explains tactical tweak
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has explained a key tactical change he made in the win over Luton Town. The manager decided to bring Dejan Kulusevski off at half-time in favour of Brennan Johnson, who contributed to both Spurs goals in the second half.
Explaining that decision, Postecoglou told the press, via Football London: “We felt that in the first half Deki [Kulusevski] was probably coming inside a little bit too much and we felt that Timo [Werner] was certainly getting some opportunities down the left-hand side and if we got Brennan [Johnson] on the right-hand side that he could equally be a threat. I thought both wingers in the second half were outstanding.”

Brennan Johnson season target
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has set a target for Brennan Johnson to follow for the rest of the season. The winger has impressed in his debut season, following his £47.5million transfer from Nottingham Forest last summer, scoring four times and assisting seven in the Premier League this season.
After Johnson’s goal contributions against Luton, Postecoglou said: “I thought Brennan was excellent today. We felt at half-time bring him one with him and Timo really wide we could stretch him. I thought both wingers were outstanding in the second half.
“It was great for Brennan. He’s made quite a few impacts now off the bench. The challenge for him is to maintain that consistency. We know what a good player he can be and try to make an impact whenever he plays.”
