When Tottenham at home were to salvage a fraction of the glory in the Premier League with a win over Nottingham Forest, the London club responded by serving Forest a 1-2 victory. Several players were rested after the Europa League win against Eintracht Frankfurt, but still. Asked if he will save the best players when Tottenham face Liverpool on Sunday, Postecoglou replied: “The big game is coming on Thursday”. If anyone knows how big the task will be to beat a supposed football mosquito from Norway, it is the Tottenham coach.

And the history with Glimt is something the Australian would rather repress. As Celtic coach, Ange Postecoglou suffered a bang against Bodø/Glimt in the Conference League three years ago, with a painful 1-5 defeat on aggregate against the yellow shirts.
The Tottenham coach also remembers well the statement of a cursing Jose Mourinho after being ridiculed with Roma at Aspmyra
“I remember they beat Roma at home, and Mourinho talked about how difficult it was to play there,” Postecoglou continues.
