EXCLUSIVE Jermaine Jenas backs Ange Postecoglou's high-pressing football at Tottenham and says he has shown 'courage' despite calls for cautious approach... as he insists the Australian WILL end club's trophy drought

Former Tottenham star Jermaine Jenas has backed Ange Postecoglou's relentless high-pressing football despite calls for him to take a more cautious approach - insisting: 'No one tells Pep Guardiola to dial it back.'

Spurs have won admirers for their heavy-metal football and attractive style of play under the Australian this season following a superb start that saw them win eight of their first ten matches- before a run of three consecutive losses saw his brand of football come under fire.

Postecoglou came under heavy scrutiny in particular after Spurs collapsed to a 4-1 defeat against Chelsea last month - having decided to persist with a high line despite going down to nine men.
