ANGE POSTECOGLOU has told Tottenham supporters that beating Manchester City at home tonight could be a huge moment in his side's development.
Many fans have mixed feelings about the prospect of getting a result against the champions, because doing so would leave bitter rivals Arsenal with the title in their hands going into the final day on Sunday.
The Spurs head coach has said he will "never understand" fans wanting their own side to lose, and believes taking the game to City and winning could prove a landmark result in the progress of his young team.
"If we go out there and try to be who we want to be, and that actually gets you a good performance and a result as well, that has to give you belief," Postecoglou told Standard Sport. "Because if we can do that against City when they're going for a title and at their best, if we can play our football and win, then you leave that as your measure.
"But not just win, because we could get a 1-0 and they could hit the crossbar 10 times and Vic [Guglielmo Vicario] could pull off 50 saves and we think it's some kind of achievement.
