The Daniel Levy statement that doesn't add up when it comes to Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou

Tottenham Hotspur's inconsistency this season has been on full display in the past 10 days or so, culminating in Sunday's home defeat to promoted Ipswich Town.

Spurs were flying after beating Manchester City in the Carabao Cup and then Aston Villa in the Premier League, making it nine wins in 11 matches, only to then lose at Galatasaray in the Europa League and hand Ipswich their first Premier League victory in 22 years at the weekend, to pass up the chance of moving into third in the table.

"That's down to me. That's my responsibility. The inconsistency we're having this year, ultimately it comes down to me and my approach and something I need to try and fix and see if I can help the players in that area," said Ange Postecoglou after the game.

"We didn't start the game well at all. It was all sort of passive, without the ball, with the ball. I felt we didn't get the tempo right or intensity right and then we gave ourselves a mountain to climb. Second half we were in the ascendancy and had opportunities obviously but we didn't do enough with them."

In the latest episode of Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham, our Spurs correspondent Alasdair Gold and head of football.london Lee Wilmot discussed the dismal display and what comes next at the north London club.

Alasdair went back to chairman Daniel Levy's assertion last season, just a month into Postecoglou's reign, that "we've got our Tottenham back". Other than being extremely premature, our Spurs reporter said it was also worth asking 'what Tottenham is there to get back?', for very few Spurs fans have witnessed a successful version of the club in their lifetime.

The north London outfit's last league win came in 1961, when they did the double. That's 63 years ago. Ever since then the club have won the occasional trophy, be FA Cup, League Cup or UEFA Cup, so exactly what Tottenham are the fans getting back? Alasdair argued that in fact Postecoglou should be allowed to build something new to replace the decades of mediocrity that has come since.
