Ange Postecoglou’s Tactical Puzzles at Tottenham: Bissouma’s Position and Unacceptable Defeats

Ange Postecoglou's tenure at Tottenham Hotspur has been under scrutiny following a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Fulham, marking their 15th loss in the Premier League this season. The Australian manager's tactical decisions, particularly the deployment of Yves Bissouma, have come into question. Bissouma, a £20 million signing, has been played out of position, a fact that was glaringly evident during the match against Fulham. Critics argue that Bissouma's natural role as a defensive midfielder has been compromised, leading to a lack of balance in the team.

The defeat has left Tottenham fans frustrated, with Postecoglou himself calling the team's record 'unacceptable'. The loss not only highlights ongoing tactical issues but also raises concerns about the future of key players like Bissouma. Reports suggest that the midfielder faces an uncertain future at the club, with speculation about potential transfers looming. As Tottenham looks to regroup and address these challenges, the spotlight remains firmly on Postecoglou to rectify his strategies and harness the full potential of his squad.
