Ange Postecoglou knows who is really responsible as he slams Tottenham players

 

 


Despite the fact that they were the first Premier League team of the season to suffer a defeat at the hands of Ipswich Town, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur was exceedingly dissatisfied with his team’s first-half performance, which proved to be incredibly expensive.



Ange Postecoglou criticised Tottenham for being “passive” throughout the first half of the game, which he described as a “drowsy horror show” that left them with “no mountain to climb.”


At the halftime break, Spurs were down by a score of 2-0; nevertheless, in contrast to their two previous meetings at home against West Ham and Aston Villa, they were unable to overcome the gap. Big Ange did not pull any punches after Tottenham suffered a shocking loss to the promoted Tractor Boys, which resulted in the team falling to tenth position in the standings.



He stated, “We did not get off to a good start in the game at all.” Simply put, it was a passive activity. My impression was that we failed to get the speed or intensity right, and then we made things much more difficult for ourselves by setting an excessively high bar. We were in the ascendancy and had opportunities during the second half of the game; but, we did not make the most of those opportunities, and we should not have been in that situation.


It is my responsibility to ensure that we are consistent. In that regard, I am responsible. The lack of consistency that we are seeing this year is ultimately up to me and the way that I handle things. It is something that I need to work on improving and see if I can assist the players in that particular area.

Ipswich’s time-wasting and planned time-outs when Ipswich players went down hurt, allowing their teammates to take a rest, were a source of frustration for Spurs supporters, and Postecoglou is not a fan of the technique either.

“Listen, I believe that this is the direction that the Premier League is heading,” he hissed. At this point, it is rather strategic. You may practically glance at your clock at the twenty-minute mark, and you will notice that a player will go down. Following this, all of the players will walk over to the coach and receive instructions.

It’s weird because I’ve always admired the Premier League since it wasn’t like that when I was growing up. You used to be able to watch teams compete in Europe and feel annoyed by it, but now it’s been included into the game here as well.

We have no control over the situation. For our part, if we want to reduce the impact of such things because we don’t do them and we want the game to be played, then we shouldn’t give the other team the opportunity to do it.

Deputy Captain Heung-min After his team suffered a shocking loss, Son expressed his regret to the supporters of Tottenham by stating, “It’s really disheartening. It was a pretty careless goal that we conceded, and it shouldn’t have happened. The situation is more than disheartening.

“There are instances when you need to maintain your composure and come up with a better answer if someone else is in a better position. What we need to do is improve our performance in instances like that. “The pain is excruciating.”
