Opposition view | Gary O'Neil on facing Ange and preparing for our 'fluid' set up

Gary O'Neil has been impressed with how quickly Ange Postecoglou and his coaching staff have implemented their style of football this season.

Eight wins and two draws in our first 10 games before our unbeaten start came to an end against Chelsea on Monday, Ange posted our best start to a Premier League season (26 points) and second-best start behind Bill Nicholson's double winners, who won their first 11 in 1960/61. He's also become the first manager to win the Premier League's Manager of the Month award in his first two months in the competition, and completed a hat-trick for October, announced on Friday.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, O'Neil said: "I find a lot of the Premier League managers interesting. He has a refreshing view on things, he brings a good energy, but the most important thing is that he’s been doing an incredible job.

"I’m a big fan of how Spurs have played this season and how big a change it is to what Spurs have looked like for the last few years style-wise. The way he’s been able to implement that and be successful so quickly is a real big achievement.

"They’ve got a few issues at the moment, but I see no reason why their performances can’t continue as he has been doing a really good job."

Asked how he thinks we might set up at Molineux - bearing in mind we're without Micky van de Ven, James Maddison, Richarlison (all injured), Destiny Udogie and Cuti Romero (both suspended) - four of whom started against Chelsea - O'Neil added: "I don’t think they’ll change, but it’s hard to know because we don’t know who will be missing and who won’t. They had a tough game on Monday night with suspensions and players going off with injuries, so we won’t be sure who’s available to them until the team sheet comes in.

"But, from everything I’ve seen, read and heard, Ange Postecoglou doesn’t change very often, so, especially with the form they’ve been in and even with how well they performed the other night with 10 and nine men, I would expect them to play as if they had every player available and play their own way.

"They’re very fluid within their structure, so they are a very difficult team to stop. They cause a lot of teams problems with the ball because of their movement and because of the quality of the players they have."
