Postecoglou Pins Hopes on Europa League as Spurs Seek to Salvage Season

Posted : 30 April 2025

Ange Postecoglou still has a chance to uphold his record of winning a trophy in his second season, but he faces the challenge of revitalizing a struggling Tottenham squad ahead of a critical Europa League semifinal.

 

Spurs were dealt their 19th league defeat of a bleak Premier League campaign in a 5-1 loss to Liverpool at Anfield, a result that left them languishing in 16th place.

 

 With their league form in disarray and no threat of relegation, Tottenham's hopes now rest solely on European success as they prepare to host Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt in Thursday’s first leg.

 

The possibility of silverware is Tottenham’s remaining consolation, with a win over Bodo/Glimt setting up a final against either Manchester United or Athletic Bilbao. Postecoglou has prioritized this European campaign, resting key players in the league and now preparing to field a stronger side for the semifinal.

 

 Despite a season plagued by injuries, he is close to having a full squad at his disposal. Captain Son Heung-min remains a doubt due to a lingering foot injury, but reinforcements like Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, and Micky van de Ven are expected to return to strengthen the defence.

 

Tottenham's long wait for a major trophy adds to the pressure, with the club having not lifted European silverware in over four decades and not winning any competition since 2008.

 

 Postecoglou, frustrated by external criticism, acknowledged that even winning the Europa League may not be enough to change prevailing narratives around his tenure.

 

Still, he remains defiant, pointing to the early promise shown in his first few months, when Tottenham briefly soared under his high-tempo "Ange Ball" philosophy before the campaign spiraled downward.

 

As the season nears its close, Postecoglou has made it clear that his focus is fully on the Europa League, which he sees as a defining moment for both himself and the club. Despite Tottenham's domestic collapse, he believes the players will rise to the occasion with the lure of a European final in sight.

 

With the tie still open and Bodo/Glimt missing key players due to suspension and injuries, the opportunity remains for Spurs to rescue their season and end their trophy drought.
