The horror Ange Postecoglou and Nottingham Forest stat that shows Tottenham got it right
Tottenham have a completely new look this year after Daniel Levy brought Thomas Frank to the club.
After delivering a Europa League trophy and Champions League football, Levy made the decision to sack Ange Postecoglou as Spurs head coach and replace him with Frank.
Since arriving, Frank has received plenty of praise as Tottenham’s head coach, with the club having only lost once in all competitions this season.
Despite Levy’s Tottenham departure, Frank is still doing the business. After one emerging stat, the bold move looks to have been the right one.
Ange Postecoglou’s Nottingham Forest have conceded more goals than any other Premier League team
Postecoglou replaced Nuno Espirito Santo at Nottingham Forest in September, but defensive woes that were clear at Tottenham have followed him to his new club.
The former Spurs man has failed to win any of his first six fixtures as Forest boss, losing four and drawing two.
As per Opta, Postecoglou’s Forest have conceded more goals than any other Premier League team (12) since his arrival.
Frank, on the other hand, has already guided his Spurs side to five clean sheets this season in all competitions.
Tottenham have been praised for their defensive solidarity under Frank, while also being capable of letting the goals fly in.
The stat has just further confirm that Tottenham are in a better place under Frank, as the numbers are starting to show through.

It’s been a fantastic start to the season, and although Spurs will be disappointed not to beat Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League on Tuesday, they will be happy with the start made this year.
