Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is happy to be leading the Premier League table.
However, the Australian says there’ll be no dwelling on it with a derby against Fulham next up on Monday night.
He said, “It’s the same as any international break. The first days you welcome it, then the next few days you seek something new.
“It doesn’t change the way I’m thinking. It pains to say we’re very much still in the beginning. My thought is continual development. Everything is in the early stages. Whatever start we have had doesn’t change that it’s the early stages. If you get side-tracked and move away from the plans, you’re going to stumble.
“My thinking is how we present ourselves and how we perform. I think there’s, at the moment, a curiosity around us and around me. There’s nothing beyond that to show you what trajectory we’re on.”
Postecoglou has won the first two Manager of the Month awards and added: “Wherever we are is where we are. We have had a real encouraging start to the season. The Premier League Manager of the Month Award is a larger group of people creating an environment for the players to perform.
“We’ve had a level of performance in every game. We’ve had some eventful games but again that’s given us a strong foundation in terms of resilience and character.”
