Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou addressed recent criticism of his tactical approach, stating he is not angry but growing weary of repetitive questions from the media. Following a staggering 6-3 defeat to Liverpool, Postecoglou emphasized that such losses weigh heavily on him as the team’s leader.
Postecoglou, whose team currently sits 11th in the Premier League, acknowledged the significance of the loss, particularly since it marked only the second time Spurs have conceded six goals at home in the league’s history. “I take full responsibility for the defeat because I understand the impact it has on everyone associated with the club,” he stated.
“I wasn’t angry; it’s a natural reaction after a heavy defeat,” Postecoglou continued, highlighting the need for resilience in the face of adversity. He expressed his frustration with the persistent questioning aimed at provoking a reaction, especially after losses.
The Spurs manager noted that despite the heavy criticism, his side boasts the highest goal tally in the Premier League. However, the team faces challenges as inconsistency has hindered their performance, contributing to their current league position.
Postecoglou stated, “I can’t criticize this group of players. They are giving their utmost effort under challenging circumstances, and it would be unfair to do so.” He remains optimistic about the team’s ability to grow through this challenging phase.
With January’s transfer window approaching, Postecoglou confirmed Tottenham’s plans to strengthen their squad, acknowledging that injuries and suspensions have taken their toll on the team’s performance. “We need to reinforce a couple of areas to regain our competitive edge,” he said, indicating a proactive approach to the club’s challenges.
