Ange Postecoglou is \u2018bringing the excitement back to Tottenham<\/strong><\/p>\nTottenham Hotspur are top of the Premier League after nine matches following their best start to a season since winning the double back in 1960-61 \u2013 and under a manager Spurs supporters have fallen in love with.<\/p>\n
Ange Postecoglou\u2019s reign as Tottenham boss, after arriving from Celtic in the summer, could not have started better, and his style of bold, attacking football was epitomised by Monday\u2019s high-intensity 2-0 win against Fulham.<\/p>\n
Goals from Son Heung-min and James Maddison ensured they remained one of only two unbeaten sides in the league and, now two points clear at the summit, they are even being mentioned as being title contenders.<\/p>\n
Maddison, described by ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher as \u201cthe Premier League\u2019s most influential player\u201d, told BBC Sport: \u201cWe want the fans to dream, but we will stay focused day by day.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fans can get carried away, we want that. It is what it is about for them, but it is about us not doing that. If you think of long-term goals you can get carried away.\u201d<\/p>\n
Postecoglou, 58, left Celtic for Spurs after winning successive Scottish Premiership titles in his two seasons in charge of the Glasgow club.<\/p>\n
He became Spurs\u2019 fourth permanent manager since Mauricio Pochettino led them to the Champions League final in 2018-19, following forgettable eras under Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte brought just one top-four finish.<\/p>\n
As well as mixed results, there was plenty of discontent around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium about the defensive football played under Spurs\u2019 previous managers \u2013 something Australian Postecoglou has immediately addressed.<\/p>\n
Carragher said on Sky Sports: \u201cMost Spurs fans are not getting too carried away about winning the title. They will be delighted with making the Champions League next season.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey started well last season under Antonio Conte but there wasn\u2019t the same excitement. Fans look forward to watching the team play again. It has been a grind for a long time for Spurs and now the style of play brings some excitement back.<\/p>\n
\u201cTottenham play really brave football. Fans are loving watching their team again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Few in north London will be getting too carried away with dreams of a first top-flight title since 1961, especially with the likes of champions Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool all within three points.<\/p>\n
The manager himself is one of those, after insisting his team still had a long way to go.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI think I\u2019ve sat here every week and said that we have a long way to go. That doesn\u2019t change. We are nine games in and we\u2019re at the beginning of building something.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be so much easier for me to sit here and say \u2018yeah, we\u2019re a great team\u2019. What I\u2019m saying is we have to improve and that puts the responsibility on me to make sure we do it. We can be better, absolutely we can.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was really disappointed with the second half, with the ball we were nowhere near the levels we have been all year. It\u2019s probably the worst 45 minutes we have had with the ball all year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tottenham\u2019s seventh league win of the season never looked in doubt on Monday as Postecoglou set a record of 23 points earned from his first nine Premier League fixtures in charge, surpassing Mike Walker and Guus Hiddink.<\/p>\n
