Gabriel Agbonlahor has now pointed out two Tottenham Hotspur players he believes Ange Postecoglou needs to drop to the bench.

Postecoglou and his side were well beaten at Fulham on Saturday, a result that has left a very sour taste heading into the international break.

Spurs now have to wait until they host Luton Town on March 30th in order to rectify that display, and perhaps the international break will prove to be a well-needed reset.

Of course, Tottenham were flying after their seismic win away at Aston Villa the week before, but it is amazing just damaging one bad result can then feel.

Postecoglou won’t panic by any means, he always seemed certain that there was a long way to go regardless of what was being achieved.

All that being said, Gabriel Agbonlahor has now been pointing out some changes he feels Postecoglou needs to make at Tottenham moving forwards.

Speaking on talkSPORT his morning, the pundit was still confident Spurs would make the top five this season but claimed they needed to buy a striker this summer.

Whilst discussing Tottenham’s need for a striker, the pundit also claimed that both Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner shouldn’t be starting in the Premier League.

He explained: “Spurs will make top five this season, could be in the Champions League and then in the summer they need to get some better players in. 

“They need a top number nine, Son on the left, Kulusevski on the right. Werner and Johnson coming off the bench. They shouldn’t be starting games for Spurs in the Premier League, for me.”

Of course, right now Son Heung-min is playing centrally in the absence of Richarlison, who was back on the bench at Fulham.

But with the Brazilian fully fit after the international break perhaps Agbonlahor will get his wish, with Postecoglou playing Richarlison as his number nine with the other Tottenham pair mentioned either side.

Although all considered, Agbonlahor’s words do feel harsh, particularly on Johnson’s end.

There will always be doubts about Werner in the Premier League, he’s got a long history of not taking his chances.

However, Johnson still looks a really promising asset, a player Micah Richards feels is ready to make a difference in games.

And if we spoke about Postecoglou’s unwillingness to flinch earlier on, he definitely won’t be about to drop Johnson down in his estimations.
