Troy Deeney aims dig at Ange Postecoglou amid Thomas Frank’s early Tottenham success

Wait 5 sec.

Troy Deeney has drawn a bold comparison between Ange Postecoglou and new Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, with the former Watford striker full of praise for the Dane’s impressive start.Thomas Frank’s start to life in the Premier League has been nothing short of perfect, with the Danish coach securing two wins from his opening two league matches this season.It has been a complete performance from Frank’s side so far, as they have not only attacked with real purpose but have also been solid at the back, keeping two clean sheets along the way.Tottenham, who managed a 17th-place finish in the Premier League last season under Ange Postecoglou, now look like an entirely different side under Frank, and it has not taken long for Troy Deeney to draw comparisons between the two managers.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramTroy Deeney compares Tottenham bosses Ange Postecoglou and Thomas FrankWriting in his BBC Sport column in his team of the week, Troy Deeney selected Thomas Frank as his manager of the week after the Dane masterminded an impressive 2-0 victory against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.In his column, Deeney pointed to Frank’s tactical flexibility, noting that he has already shown an ability to adapt Spurs to different situations in the early stages of his reign.He then suggested that while Postecoglou had often complained about the limitations of his squad, Frank has quickly managed to turn the same group into a competitive and resilient side.“In his first three games in charge, he has showed tactical awareness and tweaked things. He has made a team Ange Postecoglou was complaining about – they were injured, they cannot do this, they cannot do that – into a really solid outfit. “Spurs have played three different formations in the PSG match and their two games in the Premier League, and know what they are doing. They are adaptable against different teams. Keith Andrews is my close second with his first win for Brentford,” Deeney wrote in his BBC Sport column.Spurs progress under Frank despite limited backingTottenham fans will no doubt be delighted with the progress of Thomas Frank, who has delivered results despite being handed very little support in the transfer market during the summer.The Danish manager has only been backed with a few permanent additions in the transfer market thus far, with Mohammed Kudus arriving from West Ham United, while Joao Palhinha has joined on loan from Fulham to bolster the midfield. Meanwhile, Young Kota Takai signed from the Japan League, is yet to feature this campaign. Spurs are still reported to be chasing further signings before the window shuts, with a creative midfielder, a winger and a defender on their list, although no breakthrough has yet been made.READ MORE: Tottenham star gets deserved recall to his national team after brilliant three weeksThe post Troy Deeney aims dig at Ange Postecoglou amid Thomas Frank’s early Tottenham success appeared first on Spurs Web.
