Tottenham, riding high after their hard-fought and well-deserved victory over Liverpool that gives them a one-goal advantage heading into the second leg, are now gearing up to face Tamworth in the FA Cup third round. With the team poised for what looks to be a straightforward outing, several young players are expected to get opportunities. Postecoglou has already confirmed that one of them will certainly feature in the match.
Tottenham face a new challenge as they head to Kettlebrook to take on a team currently sitting 16th in the National League. Ange Postecoglou has dealt with numerous injury setbacks this season, limiting his ability to rotate key players due to a lack of alternatives. As a result, Tottenham are expected to strengthen their squad during the ongoing transfer window. However, for now, they will rely on their hungry young talents, eager to seize their opportunities.
Big Ange confirms the youngster to get minutes
Mikey Moore, a standout graduate of the Tottenham academy, is one of the club’s brightest rising stars. At just 17, he made history as Spurs’ youngest-ever Premier League player when he debuted against Manchester City last year. Fans have quickly fallen for his unorthodox style and undeniable flair, with James Maddison even drawing comparisons to Neymar. Although the gifted young player was recently sidelined for a few weeks due to an injury, Moore is now fully recovered and prepared to be selected once more.
Ahead of the clash with Tamworth, Ange Postecoglou, speaking in the pre-game presser, confirmed that Mikey Moore would feature in the game. While initially downplaying the idea of using the match solely to give opportunities to young players, the Spurs boss emphasised the importance of fielding a team capable of securing victory. He stated that Moore’s return is a positive development and acknowledged the importance of giving the youngster some game time over the weekend while prioritising progression to the next round.
Moore headed for some minutes, as confirmed by the Manager
“No, it gives me an opportunity to pick a team who I think will win a game of football for us. The ones who will play will be the ones who will do that.
“It’s good getting Mikey back and I think it is important we will give him some game time on the weekend but aside from that it will be a time who most importantly we think can get us through to the next round.”
