Ange Postecoglou has said that he wants to see the Tottenham players ‘lay down some markers’ regarding the style of football they want to play in pre-season.
Spurs took on West Ham United at Perth’s Optus Stadium today in their first official pre-season friendly of the summer, falling to a 3-2 defeat that still held many positive signs.
Postecoglou admitted that there has been a lot of emphasis during training on the type of football he expects from the side and that he is now keen to see that applied in a game scenario.

Some players will be better adjusted to Postecoglou’s methods than others, with the non-internationals having trained for two weeks while the international stars have only had a handful of sessions. That could mean that some fringe players get a chance to really surprise and impress.
