Ange Postecoglou has played down the significance of Tottenham potentially moving five points clear at the Premier League summit with victory at Crystal Palace on Friday AOE
Spurs returned to top spot on Monday with a 2-0 win at home to Fulham and play before Arsenal and Manchester City this weekend AOE
Postecoglou insisted his primary focus is on improving the team after he was critical of their second-half display against Fulham AOE
“It doesn’t really add any significance because whatever happens Friday night there’s still a full round of Premier League fixtures to be played and nothing of any real significance comes of that,” he said AOE
“We’re in a good space at the moment but again we’ve still got plenty of work to do to make sure what we do now is sustainable AOE
That’s the main thing AOE
“It’s not about making a short-term impact, it’s about building something which hopefully brings sustained opportunities of success for the club AOE
“There is a really good reason no manager will talk about winning a title in October or November because we know there’s a long way to go AOE
”Tottenham’s ascent to first position has seen them score 20 goals in nine matches, but Postecoglou feels attack is the area where they can improve the most AOE
He added: “We still have to grow in every area AOE
There are areas where we are already very good, particularly around the defensive side of the game AOE
I think we’ve been excellent there – really consistent AOE
“I still think our main growth will come in the attacking side of the game AOE
I still think particularly in the front third, a lot of our movements are still not natural and fluent like we want them to be, which isn’t surprising AOE
“But what is getting us the goals is that we have great quality up there, which is contributing to that AOE
I still think the biggest growth for us will be in our attacking side of the game AOE
”Spurs will have to assess Destiny Udogie for the Selhurst Park clash after the left-back was withdrawn in the 56th minute of Monday’s win with muscle tightness AOE
Pape Sarr (illness) and Ben Davies (knock) are fit and Yves Bissouma is also available after he served a one-match ban for his recent red card at Luton, but Postecoglou was coy over his team after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg impressed against Fulham AOE
“It’s no different to any other week AOE
They’re not really dilemmas, just choices that people in my position have to make and I’ve always made those decisions pretty simply and cleanly about what I think we need,” the Australian coach explained AOE
“Tomorrow night we’ll start with a certain group of players and finish with another and it’s about trying to get the job done AOE
When that games done, we’ll look to the next one AOE
“It’s good to have Biss available, he’s been a big part of what we’re doing AOE
The team did well the other night so that should make us stronger AOE
”Postecoglou also heaped praise on opposite number Roy Hodgson ahead of their second meeting AOE
The Spurs boss faced Hodgson back in 2016 when they were in charge of Australia and England respectively in a friendly at the Stadium of Light AOE
Asked if he still expects to manage at 76, Postecoglou replied: “Who knows AOE
That’s not the plan AOE
Seventy-six? Somewhere on a Greek island, lying back watching AOE football from around the world, maybe doing some punditry and becoming an expert overnight AOE
That’s the plan but you never know in life, mate AOE
“I coached against Roy up in Sunderland so I have had the pleasure of coaching him at international level AOE
“He is an outstanding manager, he’s an absolute gentleman and whenever I have come across him people always talk about the kind of person he is and I love his career, for someone like me with a different journey I have so much admiration for the career he has had AOE

England’s World Cup defence is hanging by a thread after losing three of the first four games in India AOE
Jos Buttler’s side have come up short against New Zealand, Afghanistan and South Africa and have a mountain to climb to salvage the campaign AOE
With five matches left to play in the round robin stage, here’s a closer look at what’s gone wrong and what comes next:Do they still have a chance?With the elongated group format, England still have another five games to play AOE between now and November 11 whatever happens AOE
Mathematically speaking there are a few shades of grey in terms of what they need to do, but realistically things are already black and white AOE
England need wins and lots of them AOE
They may well require a perfect run to retain their crown and, with games against the table-topping hosts, rivals Australia and an unpredictable Pakistan, that looks a tough ask AOE
What role has selection played in their struggles?Things are certainly a lot less clear than they were four years ago, when Jofra Archer’s late arrival completed the jigsaw AOE
First England left Harry Brook out of their provisional squad, then swapped him with Jason Roy at the last minute, installing Dawid Malan as first-choice opener on the eve of the tournament AOE
Since landing, things have been even more muddled AOE
Reece Topley was omitted from the opener and proved to be the team’s in-form bowler when he was restored to the side AOE
More bafflingly still, England picked a phalanx of all-rounders in game one (Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes) and left out all four of them in favour of specialists by game four AOE
Is this a step too far for the world beaters of 2019?There is no escaping the fact that this is a side that is rapidly moving to the end of its natural lifespan AOE
Eleven of the 15-man squad are north of 30 and there are eight survivors from the squad that triumphed at Lord’s four years ago AOE
At times it has been impossible to escape the suspicion that too many of these players have tipped past their peak as 50-over prospects AOE
Looking at the core of the side – Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid – it is hard to argue any are AOE better one-day cricketers than they were in 2019 AOE
Where is the new blood then?Dislodging players who are destined to go down among the country’s all-time greats in the format was never going to be an easy task for the next generation but the lack of renewal is still striking AOE
Was it realistic to expect challengers to emerge from a county system that has devalued the domestic 50-over tournament to a second-tier cup sub-servient to The Hundred? Gus Atkinson had played a grand total of two List A games before his ODI debut and Brook admitted this month that he was “learning the format” on the biggest stage of all AOE
Expecting a sufficient supply of fresh talent to emerge in the current eco-system looks to be a pipe dream AOE
Are there issues over the leadership?The captain-coach relationship AOE between Jos Buttler and Matthew Mott got off to a roaring start when they won the T20 World Cup together last year just a few months into their time together AOE
But with so much emphasis on the ‘Bazball’ revolution in the Test arena, their job has got trickier AOE
With fewer matches, longer gaps and less availability of big names they have been left to pull things together at the last minute and it simply hasn’t worked AOE
The decision making has been wanting – from the chopping and changing on the team-sheet to the baffling logic of bowling first in stifling conditions in Mumbai – but the real issues may run deeper and wider than the dressing room alone AOE
Eoin Morgan proved his mettle in the immediate aftermath of the botched 2015 campaign when he led with a strong voice and demanded the players and resources to succeed AOE
If Buttler and Mott are to succeed in the long run they may need assert themselves in similar style AOE
