Postecoglou filled with optimism as Spurs thump Everton

Ange Postecoglou believes Spurs have banished any traces of self-doubt with their dominant 4-0 home Premier League victory over Everton – and he believes there is more to come from his exciting side.

Tottenham were held to a 1-1 draw by Leicester in their season-opener on Monday, much to the frustration of Postecoglou and his players, but they were creative and clinical as they eased past Everton on Saturday.

“I always have hope and I am optimistic at heart. You need to be in our game, there is plenty that can bring you down,” Postecoglou told reporters.

“The performance at Leicester was really good but when you don’t get the result there is always a bit of doubt there.

“We played well last match and dominated the game. Today was a bit different; the lads had a strong mindset and we got a really good goal early on and didn’t let off after that.

“The performance was good. It’s really encouraging for us. There is more. We want to keep performing.”

Yves Bissouma netted his first Tottenham goal to open the scoring against Everton after he had been suspended by the club for the trip to Leicester having been caught on video inhaling nitrous oxide.

“It is a good start,” Postecoglou said of the midfielder. “He has still got work to do. I’m not doubting his footballing quality. We want to make him the best version of himself. That starts off the field as much as on it.”

With under a week remaining in the transfer window before it closes on Friday, Postecoglou suggested there may still be players arriving and leaving the club.

Tottenham have already spent a club record Stg 65 million ($A126 million) to sign striker Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth in this window.

“I think we have spent wisely,” Postecoglou said. “The players we have brought in are going to be fantastic for this club. We will see. There are still a couple of players we will look to move on. We’ll stay alert.”
