'Everyone Loves a Car Crash' – Postecoglou on Spurs' Injury Woes

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has admitted that his squad has had to work hard to cope with a lengthy injury list this season.

Ahead of their trip to Ipswich Town, Kevin Danso, Son Heung-min, and Rodrigo Bentancur remain doubtful, while Richarlison, Dominic Solanke, Radu Dragusin, and Micky van de Ven are all ruled out.

"Everyone likes an impeding car crash, I am sure we had a lot of people willing that scenario on. I know how hard these players have worked," he said.

"Our training was better and I was confident that we would put in a good shift. The focus is still on trying to win games. In the background we are doing it our own way. We are looking into ways we can do things better, but we're not going to be the only ones.

"There will be a few that come to my world in the next period and people will see it's not just a reflection of people involved, but the circumstances you have been dealt with.

"We have had a few players who have not got injured at all."

When questioned as to whether he thought the problems with injuries and poor form might soon ease, he was unwilling to give a definitive answer.

"Who knows? We feel, and I certainly feel there's a massive opportunity in the back half of the year," he said.

Ipswich goalkeeper Alex Palmer has heaped praise on 22-year-old forward Liam Delap, who netted his 10th goal of the season in their last match against Aston Villa.

"You look at him and he’s a monster. He’s a young lad that’s got the enthusiasm and energy and also the talent," said Palmer.

“So for us to have him and him be playing as well as he is at the moment, he’s going to have a big part to play the rest of the season.

“He’s a proper striker, and I think for us as well he’s an outlet. He’s a big physical boy. He’s not huge but he’s got that raw strength.

“Even build up, he helps us stick and set, so he’s not just a goal scorer. He’s an all-round striker.”
