Ange Postecoglou has thrown his support behind Son Heung-min, who’s had a tough season by his usual standards, with just seven goals and six assists in 23 games. By comparison, Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has 21 goals and 17 assists in 27 matches. But Postecoglou insists the context matters.
Spurs are struggling with injuries, suspensions, and a lack of fluency in their play. “Even Mo wouldn’t hit his usual numbers in our current setup,” Postecoglou said. “If Sonny were at Liverpool, his goal return would look a lot better too.”

Tottenham’s issues go beyond Son. With key players like Richarlison, Cristian Romero, and Destiny Udogie sidelined, the squad has been stretched thin. Spurs have only won three of their last 14 matches, including a brutal 6-3 loss to Liverpool in December.
Postecoglou acknowledges the need for reinforcements, especially in the attacking half, with the January transfer window now open. He hinted at possible signings and hopes Richarlison’s return next week will bring a boost.
Despite the challenges, Postecoglou remains focused on the upcoming Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool. “The results are on me,” he said. “But what I see every day is a group giving everything, and that keeps me motivated.”
For Spurs fans, it’s clear the road ahead won’t be easy, but Postecoglou’s belief in his players and the January window could offer some hope for a turnaround.
