Postecoglou fumed that Werner’s performance at Ibrox was “not acceptable” as he replaced him at half-time with Dejan Kulusevski, whose goal 15 minutes from time salvaged a point for out-of-form Spurs, who have now won just one of their last eight matches across all competitions.

There is no doubt that the conversation around Spurs is currently negative but the season can be salvaged. Even despite criticism of the performance at Ibrox, qualification for the knockout stage of the Europa League still looks likely.
