Tottenham defender Davies: Postecoglou won't always play high line

Tottenham defender Ben Davies says manager Ange Postecoglou won't try his 'high line' again.

Postecoglou, with Spurs down to nine men, surprised with his tactics for their home defeat to Chelsea.

"That's not what we were trying to achieve," said defender Davies.

"But when you've got nine men you'll try anything and, for a period of time, that was working. You just try to find a way to win. You've always got a chance the higher up you are."

He also said: "When you're doing well the first sign of any sort of wobble will get people excited.

"They want to see how you react. There's still a load of games left and it's up to us to put it right.

"We're confident we can do that. If we focus on the next game we'll hopefully be there or thereabouts."
