Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou admits the players are still learning his system ahead of the Joan Gamper Trophy against Barcelona.

Spurs meet Barca later tonight.

Postecoglou said: “I think we've made progress, for sure. Look, we had a game cancelled (against Leicester City in Bangkok) and with Roma pulling out (of a friendly in Singapore) we didn't have the same opposition, so, we feel as a coaching group, we're maybe a little short of match conditioning.

"I'm really happy with the way the players have embraced what we're doing. Everything is new for them - new staff, new way of training, all these kinds of things, the beauty for me is that I haven't felt any resistance along the way about what we're trying to do and as long as that's there, whatever our starting point is next week, we know we'll keep getting better as the year goes on."

The Australian also said: “When you see the intent of the boys... it's not just about having one attack, it's about having waves of attacks. It's when you have the opposition on the back foot that you don't take a moment to slows things down, and there were a couple of moments in the first half we did that really well. You could see how aggressive our back four were, and there will be times when we're caught on the counter, but, again, as long as we're willing to run back..."
