Ange Postecoglou has admitted that Tottenham’s attack is not natural at the moment, nor is it to the standard he wants to achieve.
Tottenham have been a fluid and entertaining unit ever since Postecoglou first arrived in the dugout in the season-opening 2-2 draw with Brentford.
The Lilywhites have scored a total of 20 goals this season in the league while conceding just eight, and the likes of Heung-min Son and James Maddison have been on fire in front of goal.

Spurs attack should get better and better under Ange
However, it appears that Postecoglou still wants to make a lot of improvements in the attacking third, revealing that the main growth of his Spurs team will come in that part of the pitch.
Although Tottenham have come on leaps and bounds from the defensive football of the Mourinho and Conte eras, Postecoglou still needs time to teach his current crop how to adapt to his way of play.
When asked what the main area of improvement will be, he said (Charlie Eccleshare): “Main growth will still come in the attacking third. A lot of our moves are not natural or how we want them to be.”
Interesting bit from Postecoglou when asked what the main area of improvement is for this team: "Main growth will still come in the attacking third. A lot of our moves are not natural or how we want them to be."

Spurs Web Opinion:
If this is just the starting point of Tottenham’s attacking capabilities then I am terrified to think about where the team will be 12 months from now!
