Tottenham manager is wondering why nobody else is standing up to increasing role of technology in game

In Ange Postecoglou’s words, uttered a few weeks back, he is not the messiah, just a “naughty little boy”. It was actually not his own work, rather a riff on the famous line from Monty Python’s Life of Brian but the point was well made.
