Sean Dyche has given his verdict on Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou ahead of the clash this weekend.
Everton will be back in Premier League action this weekend a week after beating Burnley 2-0, taking on Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs side on Saturday evening.
Ahead of the game – Sean Dyche has been full of praise for his opponent this weekend.
Dyche even suggested the pair could ‘crack open a cold one’ after the game and expressed his eagerness to spend 10 minutes with the Aussie.
So what all has Dyche said about Ange – let’s find out.
Sean Dyche offers verdict on Ange Postecoglou
Sean Dyche was speaking in his press conference ahead of Saturday’s game where he said the following when asked his opinion on Postecoglou.
“I don’t know the manager but I like what I’ve heard and the way he speaks very honestly about it, I don’t think – it doesn’t seem to me everyone’s talking about the way he plays he doesn’t seem to be talking about it much and he recently said he wants to win.
“So I think he’s a straightforward guy and he’s delivering good performances – or he and his team are delivering good performances, they’ve certainly made it clear they’re a good outfit that’s without a doubt.”
“He seems to just be getting on with trying to win games – I don’t know him to be honest, If I get 10 minutes with him that’d be great cause he’s someone I don’t know.
“He seems like he’s quite honest, he’s quite believing in the way he wants to go about it but I think all managers are. He said recently about playing well when they aren’t winning then had they’d had a tough spell, then he said it’s about winning, he doesn’t want to be known for how he plays he wants to be known for winning and I think I am refreshed by that actually that’s for sure. And that seems like my type of guy. But I dunno – maybe we’ll crack a cold one open.”
Dyche ‘refreshed’ by Postecoglou
From the sounds of things – a bromance could be blossoming between Dyche and Postecoglou. But when that whistle goes it’ll all be forgotten as Dyche aims to show Spurs why he’s been praised so much.
Four league wins on the bounce is a run Everton won’t want to end just yet so Dyche will be pulling out all the stops to secure three points.
Spurs themselves will offer quite the challenge after bouncing back into form with two wins in a row including a 4-1 thrashing of Newcastle.
But afterwards – we are sure these two will be able to sit down and have a conversation, Dyche certainly wants to anyway.
