I feel sorry for Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham need to be careful. They've had Jose Mourinho, they've had Antonio Conte, they've had Nuno Espirito Santo - those managers that the crowd have gone mad at. 'We want the Tottenham way'.

They've brought Ange Postecoglou in. We've seen what he did last season when he had a fit team and he got them flying and then they drifted away.

But he entertains, he wants to play on the front foot and he can do that when he's got his centre-half Micky van de Ven playing because he's the main man.

But stick with Ange. If he goes now, they're going to go with someone who's got to come up and shut shop up, play 10 at the back, play counter-attacking football - the fans will go mad again.

Give him a chance. Give him next year as well and I'm not saying that because I'm Arsenal and want them to lose every week.

Tottenham are a good team to watch when they've got their players fit but Van de Ven has to play.

They need midfield players. They've got no midfield players. They've got Rodrigo Bentancur but the others haven't been good enough. They don't dominate football matches in the midfield. Whoever comes in doesn't dominate.

They have a half-decent goalie in Guglielmo Vicario. They've got two good centre-halves, or one very good and the other one - Cristian Romero - better when he's playing with Van de Ven.

They've got a good centre-forward in Richarlison who's just starting to play now. Dejan Kulusevski would get in virtually every team in the Premier League but they need that spine.

The goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky's come in, and they needed a goalie, but that goalie isn't going to play when Vicario's fit.

This is the problem with Tottenham. It's alright going, 'oh, we'll go out and buy him, buy him, buy him', but none of them will play when all the others are fit.

Tottenham haven't got the money to give £70,000-a-week for people sitting on the bench.

I'd be patient.

Who knows, they're still in all the cups. They've probably got more chance of winning the Europa League because they haven't got Liverpool in the Europa League.

They're still in all the competitions. I would sit tight.

Where would the fans rather be: sixth in the league and out of every cup? Or 15th in the league but still in every cup?

The only problem is when those Daniel Levy [Tottenham chairman] banners start coming out, there's only one thing that's going to happen and that's, 'I'm going to take the pressure off me - off you go, manager'.
