Tim Sherwood names one Tottenham player who has been transformed under Ange Postecoglou

Tim Sherwood has commended the performance of full-back Pedro Porro, who has had a strong start to the season.

Porro has been a regular starter in every Premier League game under Ange Postecoglou since missing the opening-day draw at Brentford. The 24-year-old completed a £40 million permanent move to Spurs over the summer after initially joining on loan in January.

It's worth noting that Porro faced criticism during the early stages of his Spurs career as he struggled to adapt to English football's demands. In fact, Sherwood had criticized Porro on his debut during a 4-1 defeat at Leicester City in February, describing him as being 'all over the place' on Sky Sports.

However, the former Spurs boss appears to have changed his opinion on Porro and now sees him excelling under Postecoglou's guidance. During a discussion on Sky Sports about Tottenham's title prospects following their impressive start to the season, Sherwood singled out Porro for praise, marking a shift in his earlier assessment of the defender.

“Dare I say it? Pedro Porro has done well," he said, via TBR Football. 

“Do you know why I wasn’t his number one fan? Because he was playing in a position as a right-back and staying there and just being asked to defend."

Sherwood added: “It’s not what he’s good at. He’s good at going on the offensive, he gets forward, he gets there at the right time. He’s aggressive and he wins the ball back.”
