Tottenham saw their streak of five consecutive victories come to an abrupt end after their defeat at Brighton (3-2) this Sunday in the Premier League. With now a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats, the team led by Ange Postecoglou occupies a modest 9th place in the standings.
During the 3rd and 4th days of the championship, Spurs lost at Saint James’ Park against Newcastle (2-1) and at home against Arsenal (0-1). A disappointing start to the year for the Australian technician’s second season at the head of the London team. At a press conference, Postecoglou, visibly annoyed, did not mince his words. He felt the result reflected the performance of his players on the field.
“This is the first time since I’ve been here that…”
“No matter where it comes from, it’s unacceptable. It’s the first time since I’ve been here that we’ve lost a game like this. If you don’t compete and let the opponent dominate you in this way, you won’t achieve anything good,” declared the 59-year-old coach.
And to continue: “We weren’t competitive, we lacked intensity, we didn’t do what we needed to do. And we paid the price. We didn’t deserve to get anything out of this match, if we had we would have been falsely rewarded. »
