Speaking to Sky Sports, following Spurs' 4-3 victory over Manchester United, Postecoglou highlighted his selection woes. "We’ve got so many absences at the moment, centre halves, kids on the bench" says the Spurs boss. "If we get through the period we’re going to get enormous growth out of it.

"I really liked how we played tonight, obviously those moments tainted it a bit and that has happened this season before and it doesn't help our consistency, but the mentality of the boys... I love it.

"I love football land love watching teams that go out there to entertain. Obviously we want to be successful and we won’t be if we make things difficult like we did tonight."

Postecoglou added: "We’re not going out there to try and grind out 1-0 victories, we’re trying to keep folks entertained. I can’t see how that’s a bad thing.

"It’s part of football, mistakes will happen. From the context of how we play as a team, there’s nothing we need to change. It doesn’t get me any credit in the bank as an astute tactician, but so be it."

When asked if he wanted his players to cut out mistakes, the Spurs boss responded: "Of course, but you're asking for perfection in human beings and that doesn’t exist, sometimes they stuff up just like I do and you do."
