At a time when everyone would just like to carry on with Tottenham playing some very impressive football and getting the points along the way, Tottenham fans will have to wait until Saturday, September 16 for the next fixture.
It will be the start of a crucial period for Tottenham with some big games on the agenda, including the first North London Derby of the season and also a home showdown against Liverpool. So what is Postecoglou’s best team for the game against the Blades straight after the international break? football.london takes a look below.
The Italian shot-stopper has made a huge impact at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following his move from Empoli. He is the club’s undisputed No.1.
Pedro Porro
Porro caught the eye for Tottenham at Burnley with two outstanding passes that resulted in Son Heung-min goals. He is the choice at right-back as things stand at present.
Cristian Romero
The vice-captaincy role appears to have helped the Argentine’s game. One of the first names on the teamsheet for Spurs.
Micky van de Ven
Van de Ven has taken to the Premier League with ease since his move from Wolfsburg. The Dutchman is building up a nice partnership with Cristian Romero.
Destiny Udogie
Udogie looks like he has been playing in the Premier League for years. Tottenham have a star on their hands.
Yves Bissouma
Now looking more like the player that wowed on a consistent basis at Brighton. An automatic choice in midfield for Postecoglou and Spurs.
Pape Matar Sarr
A huge hit in Postecoglou’s Tottenham team. Thriving under the new head coach and only going to get better.
James Maddison
Hard to believe that more clubs weren’t in for his services in the summer. Pivotal to Tottenham’s attacking play and has a huge role to play over the coming years.
Dejan Kulusevski
Son Heung-min
Why move him from the No.9 role after his hat-trick at Burnley? His treble was bad news for Richarlison.
Manor Solomon
Deserves another start after laying on two assists for Son at Turf Moor. Needs to keep making a big impact in the final third with Postecoglou having plenty of options.
