Challenges for Tottenham and Postecoglou
Tottenham Hotspur with Ange Postecoglou as manager had a real tough time. They couldn’t keep the ball much and struggled to make any good chances against Villa who were really well organized. They only got one shot on target which shows how much trouble they had trying to score, and it shows Postecoglou still has work to do to get his attacking style working properly.
