For Tottenham’s Premier League home match against Chelsea on Monday, Ange Postecoglou might decide to make a significant alteration to a crucial part of the Tottenham team.
Ange Postecoglou and his Tottenham team will have to wait for their next match after playing two Premier League games in the span of five days the previous week. Spurs have plenty of time to prepare for Chelsea’s visit next Monday, as they won’t be participating in the midweek action because of their Carabao Cup departure at the end of August.
The match will not only mark Mauricio Pochettino’s first visit to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since his firing as head coach four years ago, but it will also provide the Lilywhites with a chance to stay atop the Premier League standings. Their most recent match saw them triumph after a hard-fought 2-1 victory away at Crystal Palace. Summer signing Brennan Johnson made an immediate impression from the bench and was crucial to the team’s success at Selhurst Park.
After taking Richarlison’s place in the 66th minute, Son Heung-min’s straightforward finish two minutes later allowed him to double the lead. First, Johnson headed Pape Matar Sarr’s long pass into James Maddison’s path. The England international then gave the ball back to Johnson, who squared to Son to score.
The winger’s involvement was clearly acknowledged by the Tottenham captain, who was seen pointing at him as soon as the player scored, before the two locked arms and rushed towards the celebrating away end. Due to the hamstring injury he suffered on his full debut at Arsenal, fans in south London haven’t seen much of the Wales international, but in a brilliant 26-minute cameo, the former Nottingham Forest player showed what he can bring to Postecoglou’s squad.
Following the match, Postecoglou praised Johnson and the other replacements for their contributions coming off the bench in the victory at Selhurst Park in an interview with SportSynergy.
Yes, Brennan was excellent. He’s obviously had a few hiccups, so we haven’t really seen him in any continuous game or practice time, but over the past two weeks, he has put in a lot of effort in his training,” he said.

“I assumed that every substitute that entered… Pierre, in my opinion, helped us take control of the midfield, and I thought Emerson played a fantastic left-back position. The people coming on and helping us see out games is exactly the kind of thing that is helping us right now.”
Johnson’s next goal will be to push his way into Postecoglou’s thoughts on his starting lineup for the Chelsea game, especially after he had such a significant role in the victory over the Eagles. After giving the Australian some food for thought during his playing time in the victory over Palace, he stands to gain from a solid training week if Richarlison or Dejan Kulusevski don’t make the squad to play the Blues.
Thanks to Postecoglou’s football philosophy, Tottenham has truly made people take notice this season, but there is still a lot more to come from them. Despite scoring 22 goals in ten league games, they haven’t yet found their groove in the last third of the pitch. The head coach said in his press conference prior to the Crystal Palace match that the “biggest growth” for them will come in the offensive department.
“It all. When asked what Tottenham still needed to work on, he responded, “We still have to grow in every area.” There are already certain domains in which we excel, especially in the field of defense. We’ve done a great job there, in my opinionâquite consistently.
“I said that’s what won us the game on Monday night after the game. should put in a lot of effort, push the opposition, maintain discipline, and be steadfast in your commitment to making mistakes in the opposition. For me, that’s been incredibly wonderful and satisfying.

“I continue to believe that our offensive department will see the most improvement. It’s hardly surprising, in my opinion, that many of our movementsâespecially in the front thirdâremain far from being as fluid and natural as we would like. However, the fact that we have excellent quality up there is what is helping us achieve our goals. However, I continue to believe that our offensive aspect of the game will see the most improvement.”
