fans send crucial messages to postecoglou to drop timo werner after what he did vs Manchester united
Tottenham Hotspur take a trip to East Sussex later today to take on the impressive Brighton & Hove Albion in an important Premier League game. Ange Postecoglou’s team have been making the right noises in recent weeks.
After the first few games where the Aussie-Greek tactician was coming under pressure for the results not going their way, Postecoglou has turned the situation around and Tottenham look like a well-drilled unit at the moment.
Following up on their impressive 3-0 win over Manchester United last weekend, Postecoglou will want to set his team up in the strongest possible way for a tough away trip at the Amex. Captain Son Heung-min is still a doubt to feature in the game.
Drop Timo Werner fans already made their feelings clear.
Destiny Udogie, on the other hand, should be ready to play the game against the Seagulls but Postecoglou could choose to thread on the side of caution and leave him on the bench to bring him on later in the game.
Between the posts, it is almost certain that Guglielmo Vicario will retain his position. The Italian shot-stopper has excelled at saving and distribution but will want to keep working on claiming crosses, which continues to be his Achilles heel.
The backline is set to consist of Pedro Porro from the right, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven in central defence. It is on the left side of defence that Postecoglou has question marks. Djed Spence is the most likely candidate if Udogie is not fit to start.
Rodrigo Bentancur is set to start as the #6 with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski as dynamic eights alongside him. The two #8s have played a big part in turning the situation around for Ange Postecoglou.
Brennan Johnson is set to continue from the right, as he looks to continue his goalscoring form. Dominic Solanke is set to lead the line as the #9. From the left, £200k per week Timo Werner who flopped against Manchester United could get another chance.
Postecoglou can also bring on the likes of Archie Gray, Mikey Moore and Yves Bissouma from the bench to add energy. Tottenham will be expected to get past Brighton and let’s wait and see how the Lilywhites turn out

Ange Postecoglou will know that his Tottenham Hotspur side must defeat Brighton & Hove Albion on the south coast for a chance to enter the October international break in the Premier League’s top four.
It’s not going to be easy given other results would need to go their way, while the Seagulls have started well under new boss Fabian Hürzeler, who earned the division’s Manager of the Month award for August, albeit having failed to win in any of his past four games, drawing three.
Spurs skipper Son Heung-min is still sidelined having missed his side’s past two matches with a hamstring injury, while Destiny Udogie is a fitness doubt at left-back.
After defeating Ferencváros in the Europa League on Thursday evening, Postecoglou is expected to ring the changes, with as many as seven anticipated.
