Ange Postecoglou labels Chelsea star as difficult man for Tottenham in 4-1 defeat to Chelsea
Postecoglou will be without four of his finest players for Saturday’s trip to Wolves after losing Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie to red cards, as well as James Maddison and Micky Van de Ven to injuries.
However, Mauricio Pochettino, the former Spurs manager, could take pride in the inspiring perseverance of the remaining players, even though Cole Palmer’s penalty and two late goals from Jackson allowed him to steal all the points.
Pochettino’s final game here was a 1-1 tie against Sheffield United, which took place four years before he was fired. Tottenham supporters basically disregarded his much-discussed homecoming.
Chelsea captain Recce James has been designated by Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou as the team’s danger man against rival Tottenham in London.
However, Gary Neville, who was commentating on the game for Sky Sports, called Reece James’ high elbow right before the end of the first forty-five minutes “absolute madness.” James may have also been sent off.
