Brennan Johnson has shared what annoys Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur.

Speaking to Spurs Play, the Tottenham winger admitted the Aussie loses his cool when his side plays without belief.

Ange Postecoglou has received plenty of plaudits for the way he’s transformed this current Spurs side in such a short space of time.

The former Celtic boss hasn’t been immune to criticism though, with many questioning his approach against Manchester City on Sunday. But it’s undeniable that Spurs have been one of the most entertaining sides to watch in the Premier League this season. 

It’s some turnaround when you look back at the dull football offered up under his predecessors. And Brennan Johnson has admitted that what gets Postecoglou ‘most annoyed’ is when Spurs play without conviction or belief.

Johnson shares what really annoys Postecoglou at Tottenham

”That’s what gets him most annoyed to be honest,” Johnson said. “When we don’t believe in ourselves and we don’t play the football we can play.

“We came out in the second half and Man City are an unbelievable team, they are unbelievable at pressing but we got them running more, because in the first half they were comfortable and we were playing on our own time.

“But once we got them running more and pressing and we were getting through and creating chances, it’s what we do in training.

“There’s no point in coming away from it, because whatever we come away from it doing is something we don’t practice so we are not going to be as good at.”

Postecoglou has been unwavering in his approach to delivering his brand of football to Spurs so far.

Indeed, many thought he may switch his style slightly at the Etihad as he faced a full-strength City side with a Spurs squad decimated by injuries.

Yet, after a lacklustre first-half display on Sunday, Dejan Kulusevski revealed that Postecoglou was furious with his players. He urged them to play with more belief and take the game to City.

It certainly paid off as Spurs netted twice in the second half to pick up a well-deserved point.

While Tottenham continue to feel the absences of James Maddison and Micky van de Ven, Postecoglou has shown he will stick by his methods, regardless of the situation or opposition.

One thing is for sure, Spurs fans are in for an enjoyable rest of the campaign and will be hoping to see their side get back to winning ways against West Ham tonight.
