Tottenham Q&A: Should Postecoglou stick or twist with his team?

Ian asked: Do you think Ange should use the remaining league games to get a settled core of the team or rotate the players to look at all his options (if he feels he still be in the job next season)?

Nizaar answered: I saw Wayne Rooney and Troy Deeney criticised Ange Postecoglou on Match of the Day for rotating at Fulham. I was at that match and the performance was again poor. They both agreed a consistency of selection is necessary to build a bit of form.

However, I do feel he showed a good responsibility to the club in rotating to keep players fit rather than simply picking a team that would win on the day.

My belief is that it is not ideal to rotate seven players per match but there needs to be some competition and prospect for the fringe players now Spurs have everyone fit, and after signing three players in January without letting anyone go.

There are also players like Micky van de Ven who still need managing.

After the international break, those lacking match fitness after the winter injury crisis should be even more robust and able to handle two games per week.

There will also be fewer excuses available to Postecoglou when he has a stronger, fitter squad at his disposal.
