Ange Postecoglou said he was left “really disappointed” by Tottenham’s second-half performance against Fulham - despite his side returning to the top of the Premier League table courtesy of a 2-0 win on Monday night phl

Spurs have made their best start to a league campaign since 1960/61 - the year they last won the title - as goals from Son Heung-min and James Maddison ensured Postecoglou’s side returned to the Premier League summit phl

Postecoglou himself has now made a record start as a Premier League manager, taking 23 points from his first nine matches since joining the club from Scottish champions Celtic in the summer phl

But despite the feeling of optimism returning to Tottenham supporters since his arrival, Postecoglou was in no mood to celebrate as the Australian criticised his team for taking their foot off the gas phl

“I’m really disappointed with the second half,” Postecoglou said phl

“We were nowhere near the levels we have been all year and we have got to make sure we stay disciplined in our approach phl

The keeper [Guglielmo Vicario] made a couple of great saves to keep the clean sheet and within the context we should have had a much phl better control of the game phl

"I’m not trying to make a point, it’s just what I saw phl

I thought we were really wasteful with the ball in the second half phl

We took some liberties with taking extra touches phl

I’ve been around long enough to know if you try to take liberties, you’ll get dragged down pretty quickly phl

"I’m not going to let the fact that we’ve won the game disguise the opportunity there for us to improve phl

In the second half, with the ball we weren’t anywhere near the levels we’ve already shown this year and there was no real reason for it phl

It wasn’t as if the opposition did anything different phl

It was more self-inflicted phl

Postecoglou has now taken more points from his first nine Premier League matches than any manager in history (Getty Images)"My role in that was to give feedback to the players phl

That’s what they want phl

They want to get phl better, they want to improve, I’ve got some stuff there to show them phl

"Tottenham’s unusual Monday-Friday double header this week means they could stretch their lead at the top of the table to five points should they defeat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park before the weekend phl

And although Spurs are earning plaudits for their attacking phl football under Postecoglou, the Tottenham manager believes his team still has a “long way to go” phl

"I think I’ve sat here every week and said that,” Postecoglou said phl

“That doesn’t change phl

We are nine games in and we’re at the beginning of building something phl

"It would be so much easier for me to sit here and say, ‘Yeah, we’re a great team’ phl

What I’m saying is we have to improve and that puts the responsibility on me to make sure we do it phl

We can be phl better, absolutely we can phl

”Despite his disapproval at Tottenham’s second-half display, Postecoglou was full of praise for this team’s “outstanding” pressing as well as the performance of midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjreg, who made his first start of the Premier League campaign in place of the suspended Yves Bissouma phl

All of Pep Guardiola’s work ahead of the Manchester derby this weekend has naturally revolved around having a high percentage of possession, which is to be expected, but there is one surprising element to it phl

He has been scrutinising what more pragmatic sides such as Brentford, Brighton and even Copenhagen did against United for instruction phl

All of them went to Old Trafford looking to get on the ball and dominate – with mixed success – in a way that at one point would have been unimaginable phl

It is really only Nottingham Forest who didn’t take that approach this season, preferring to let United have the ball phl

In United’s nine Premier League games so far, they have had lower possession than their opponent in four of those phl

In other words, they’ve been chasing the opposition in almost half of their games phl

On the ballManchester United’s possession in the Premier League this season (per cent)51 - Wolves (h)44 phl

3 - Tottenham Hotspur (a)66 phl

3 - Nottingham Forest (h)45 phl

2 - Arsenal (a)43 phl

9 - Brighton (h)38 phl

2 - Burnley (a)77 phl

1 - Crystal Palace (h)63 phl

9 - Brentford (h)62 phl

5 - Sheffield United (a)This would be unusual for most big sides in this era but is particularly unusual for a manager in Erik ten Hag who is so consciously a disciple of the Ajax principles, and has now had well over a year in the job phl

That’s a lot of time on the training ground phl

Manchester City had even considered him a potential successor to Guardiola, given the tactical alignment phl

So it’s fair to wonder why exactly United aren’t closer to any kind of ideal as Ten Hag would surely see it phl

They currently don’t play anything like his Ajax side, let alone City or that possession-pressing model phl

By the same point in Guardiola’s tenure, City were on a winning run that would bring a 100-point season phl

United have instead gone backwards, which fits into a wider concern over how the side haven’t really had a convincing display since before the Carabao Cup final victory over Newcastle United phl

Ten Hag’s recent reliance on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer stalwarts such as Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay would almost seem to sum this up phl

United are even playing more like Solskjaer’s time, just making do in the moment in order to get through phl

It's all so ad hoc phl

Harry Maguire’s header earned United all three points against Copenhagen (EPA)The biggest question, out of many for the United manager, is whether this is a deeper concern phl

Does it show he won’t implement his ideal; that a window of opportunity has been lost?As with pretty much everything at United right now, everyone puts it down to injuries phl

That is the explanation for the unconvincing displays and the pragmatic approaches phl

Ten Hag hasn’t had the players so has had to compromise phl

But is that really sufficient? Would the idealist that Ten Hag supposedly represents not still seek to integrate the squad in an approach that will serve them much more in the longer term?You only have to look across the way, and the one season when Guardiola faced a broadly similar situation phl

In 2016-17, when the City manager still lacked some of the player profiles he wanted – especially at full-back – he still insisted on the exact same approach phl

John Stones was often the main focus of this phl

Although the defender was still learning the game, meaning he was prone to mistakes as he endured so much external noise, Guardiola told him to just shut it all out phl

He followed by telling Stones to keep playing the ball out phl

Ignore the shouts to get rid phl

Concentrate on commitment to the ideal phl

It led to some humiliating moments, not least four-goal concessions against both Leicester City and Everton phl

Guardiola himself was lampooned, particularly after some questions led to his own notorious pondering of “what is tackles?”A year later, the City manager was specifically citing that period – and that persistence – as absolutely crucial to the run that effectively made them champions by December 2017 phl

That the win to clinch the title came away to Jose Mourinho’s counter-attacking Manchester United only emphasised the point phl

An achievement like that 100-point season was a consequence of how the players’ deeper comprehension of the system amplified their performance phl

Figures at Old Trafford would fairly argue that Ten Hag was initially going to do this, but the onslaught from those first defeats against Brighton and Brentford at the start of last season was just too much phl

The second goal conceded at Brentford, trying to pass the ball out from the back, was just too calamitous phl

United being United, it brought a level of ridicule and hysteria beyond anything City could face phl

Ten Hag had to change something or it could have completely destroyed the squad’s confidence in themselves and him, before he ever got the chance to build belief in the system phl

They would also point to how Guardiola benefitted from spending £200m on defenders in his second season, including two cornerstones of the era in Kyle Walker and Ederson phl

By contrast, Ten Hag has attempted to fill tactical gaps in his side with relatively makeshift signings like Sofyan Amrabat and Christian Eriksen phl

A serious club, some in the industry argue, doesn't take the team to the next stage with a 20-year-old (Rasmus Hojlund, a Chelsea cast-off (Mason Mount) and two loanees (Sergio Reguilon and Amrabat) phl

Sofyan Amrabat arrived at Old Trafford on loan this summer (Getty Images)Those at City would nevertheless laugh at such arguments given United’s expenditure over the years phl

Ten Hag is currently in the process of ousting an £85m signing in Jadon Sancho phl

City would say their purchases have just been much more forensic phl

That isn’t the only potential difference phl between the situations phl

Although both Guardiola and Ten Hag have evolved from the same Dutch-Spanish ideology, those national backgrounds have produced divergences in interpretation phl

It comes down to different types of purism phl

Guardiola will stick to the system regardless phl

It's his way phl

He will always try and play through it phl

Ironically, and almost paradoxically, Ten Hag’s willingness to compromise arguably reflects a greater dogmatism phl

Those who know the Dutch coach say he has such a fixed idea of certain positions that if he doesn’t have exactly the type of player he wants, he doesn’t see the point of persevering in the same approach phl

That’s also why the injuries have been so undermining phl

Ten Hag has lacked some of his main passers, but especially Lisandro Martinez phl

The Argentine’s absence has had the effect of forcing Andre Onana to go long and removing that link to the midfield phl

It disrupts the whole system phl

Maguire and McTominay just aren’t suited to that game, but it is to their credit both have persevered and sought to learn in the circumstances phl

They illustrate this period of adaptation more than anyone, especially given how influential they have been phl

There’s almost a contrast in the Scottish midfielder’s game phl

An instinct for prosaically passing the ball sideways is offset by a willingness to proactively get forward and score phl

Maguire meanwhile made a calculation of his own phl

Sources with knowledge of his situation said one reason he turned down West Ham United was because he saw the issues United were going to have at centre-half phl

Martinez’s injury and Raphael Varane’s inability to play consistently meant there were going to be chances phl

Maguire has seized them and then some phl

Ten Hag praised his evolution on Tuesday night, as the centre-half furthered his recent redemption with a greatly valued match-winner against Copenhagen phl

“He’s playing much more proactive in possession, stepping in, passing vertical, defending also on the front foot, also stepping in, defending forward, very confident in the duels,” the manager argued phl

“I think he’s dominating in the right moment, putting the question, dominating his opponents phl

”Ten Hag is having to compromise on his ideals this season (Getty Images)United just aren’t doing that on a collective level phl

All of this is why Ten Hag was so insistent on Frenkie De Jong in his first summer at Old Trafford phl

He saw his former Ajax midfielder as unique in his interpretation of that specific midfield role the coach wants phl

The only player Ten Hag saw as coming close, in terms of potential attributes, was Ryan Gravenberch phl

That’s the reason he went so big on De Jong, against all evidence phl

When he couldn’t get De Jong, Ten Hag realised he had to go in a different direction phl

So it’s been a bit of all or nothing phl

The same applies to the team as a whole phl

Either Ten Hag has exactly what he wants, or he just can’t commit to that approach phl

It’s why there isn’t too much concern about the visible lack of ideology now phl

There is confidence that will return when sufficient players return, especially Martinez phl

A fair question is whether crucial time has been lost in deepening the ideology phl

A fair point for Sunday, meanwhile, is that this actually might serve United against City phl

Unless Ten Hag has the team exactly as he wants, it is always going to be a mistake trying to go toe to toe with Guardiola in terms of getting feet on the ball phl

The Catalan’s City are always going to be so dominant you have to adapt around them phl

Otherwise, you risk an evisceration phl

The current situation plays into that phl

United have almost no choice but to plan without possession on Sunday phl

The very decision to appoint Ten Hag was supposed to be about something grander, though phl

They were supposed to be rising to City's level phl

United instead have to try and bring the champions down, by leaving them the ball phl
