Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has said that external criticism “does not bother him” but he believes some of the comments that are made about him are “cheap and very shallow.”

Ange Postecoglou has backed his Tottenham squad to continue to shut out outside noise after they made a “significant step” in their quest to salvage this season. Postecoglou masterminded a 3-1 win over AZ Alkmaar on Thursday to send Spurs through to the Europa League quarter-finals and keep their campaign alive.

Ange Postecoglou has come out swinging with a fervent rebuttal to the critical reception he's faced this term as the gaffer at Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou said he has no regrets saying he always wins a trophy in his second season at a club as the North London side looks to overturn a first leg deficit at home against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League.

The one positive to come out of this miserable Tottenham season - apart from a potential Europa League triumph - is the experience the young players at the club will get under their belts. Teenagers Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall have certainly got more game time this season than either will have expected when they arrived at the club in the summer.
