What's stopping Tottenham from being great?

Welcome to The Athletic FC's YouTube channel, where best-in-class journalism meets video.

Tottenham were systematically dissected by Eddie Howe's Newcastle at St. James' Park in a 4-0 defeat. Will Ange Postecoglou deviate from his idealistic approach or will he have to introduce pragmatism to react to the realities of playing in the Premier League?

Joe Devine, JJ Bull and Jon Mackenzie are joined by Alex Barker to review Ange's first season at Tottenham and to figure out how far Spurs can go under the Australian manager's guidance.

This is The Athletic's Week in Football.
