Tottenham supporters were high after their ticket to the Europa League semi-finals was secured, but were back to Premier League mud with a 1-2 loss to Forest. In a week, this team will stop the yellow horde of Bodø/Glimt players and supporters. When we hear Spurs manager Postecoglou talk about the Glimt game, we understand that this is a club that cannot afford to lose. In other words, a perfect starting point for Kjetil Knutsen and the Glimt gang.
Against Nottingham Forest, the Spurs manager spared tired legs after Thursday’s quarter-final win against Eintracht Frankfurt, the result was rest for key players, but at the same time a fifth defeat in the last seven league games. This weekend awaits Liverpool, a game that is always one of the big ones of the season. Spurs fans know from Postecoglou’s statements that this Premier League game is all but served with three points for Liverpool. The London club has something more important ahead of them.

When asked if it was difficult not to drive “confidence to the bottom”, while Tottenham prevent injuries to the players, Postecoglou was crystal clear that it was now all about two games.
“Yes, it’s a small balancing act. We have to be smart. We have to be ready on Thursday next week, it’s the big game for us,” says the Tottenham manager about the Bodø/Glimt match.
The big game. Against Bodø/Glimt. We love it!
