Solanke is growing in stature at Spurs, and after a disrupted start, he’s hitting his stride, having scored his first goal for the club in a recent victory. Postecoglou has noted that his performance is improving, especially under difficult circumstances, which highlights his ability to hold up play and contribute significantly to the team’s efforts.
Postecoglou mentioned, "He didn’t do pre-season with us and then he has one game and then he’s out for two weeks, while the other guys were building up their match fitness." This statement reflects the challenges Solanke faced initially, impacting his fitness and adaptation to the team's style of play.
Despite wanting to manage his game time more carefully, Postecoglou said Solanke ended up playing longer due to the match situation. He emphasized that even when down to 10 men, Solanke's willingness to contribute met the team's needs.
The happiness in Postecoglou's voice when he remarked, "It was great for him to get another goal," showcases his confidence in Solanke's progress. This highlights how important it is for players to find momentum in their performance.
