Ange Postecoglou expressed frustration over Tottenham’s lackluster performance in the loss to Arsenal, calling it unacceptable and disappointing.
London: Ange Postecoglou was really upset after Tottenham’s game against Arsenal. He called their performance “unacceptable” and hopes the players feel the same way.
In the north London derby, Arsenal came back to win 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium. This loss means Spurs have only one win in their last nine league matches.
Heung-min Son scored first for Spurs, but then an own goal from Dominic Solanke leveled things up. Just before halftime, Leandro Trossard scored a great goal, putting Arsenal ahead.
Postecoglou was particularly angry about how passive his team was, especially in the first half. He said they let Arsenal control the game, which just isn’t good enough.
He mentioned that they need to focus on what they can control and that the second goal they conceded showed how far off their game they were. He wants his team to be aggressive, like they were against Liverpool just a week ago.
He also expressed disappointment that the young players on the team, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, might not feel the sting of the loss. He wants everyone to feel the hurt of losing so many games this season.
With only five points from their last 27 available, Spurs are struggling. They have a tough match coming up against Everton, who have a new coach now. Postecoglou knows they need to turn things around quickly.
He said there’s no magic fix for their problems. They just need to work hard and prepare for the next game. The reality is, their league form has been poor, and that has to change.
