In just 1 week, Tottenham was eliminated from the FA Cup and League Cup. Currently, they have two goals: the Europa League and the Premier League relegation. League Cup and FA Cup is a more possible target but Spurs are not currently strong enough to do that. Looking at the Europa League, winning the European 2nd arena championship is also very far away.
"I don't know how to explain the current situation. I and the players always have the best efforts in the harshest circumstances.
In the next 2 and a half months, I will have to ask the players aged 17, 18 and the veterans to play continuously, on average 2 matches/week. I will try my best in this period but if I look at the current situation, someone says everything is fine, I really have nothing to discuss anymore " - Ange Postecoglou shared.
Tottenham only won the last 2/12 matches in the Premier League. Currently, the North London team is ranked 14th on the rankings with 27 points after 24 matches. They are only 10 points higher than the downstream group. If the poor form like this continues, the Spurs may be even more dangerous.
Before Liverpool in League Cup, the minimum victory in the semi -final first leg at home was too fragile capital for Tottenham. Finally, in the second leg at Anfield, the "rooster" was completely crushed with a 0-4 losing score. Coming to the match against Aston Villa in the fourth round of the FA Cup, Tottenham played from the beginning to the end. The 1-2 failure score does not reflect all the dangers they face from the first minute until the referee blows the whistle.
"Our players are too tired, try asking them to be able to press as desired? If the whole team has played on Thursday night (before Liverpool), I can not help Fighting on Sunday like this (with Aston Villa).
The team had a good chance to score against Aston Villa but the strength of the players was limited. Unless they are superheroes, play explosive on the fifth night and also achieve the same intensity on Sunday. That never happened.
Liverpool and other teams can rotate the squad to play. I also wish I got it to refresh the team every week. The players played but did not guarantee the expertise as expected. Not that they did not try, simply they couldn't.
With this squad, if there are more participation of a few more pillars, it will be an excellent version, I dare to fish about this. If looking at the negative situation is taking place and evaluating the players is not objective. I just want to say that " - Ange Postecoglou shared.
In fact, Postecoglou argued very objectively when looking at the list of players who could play Spurs. They had to play football without a goalkeeper, left -back, center -back, assistant midfielder and striker in the past few months. The big burden is pressing a number of young players like Archie Gray (18 years old), Lucas Bergvall (19), Mikey Moore (17) and currently rookie Mathys Tel (19). They are as potential as when under pressure, this is starting to create negative effects.
Looking at the way Archie Gray and Kevin Danso defended against Aston Villa, as long as the pillars have not returned, Tottenham only knows the hope of every battle to not fall freely in the Premier League anymore. When there is enough personnel in the defense, Tottenham is not bored with any attack and vice versa. Now, they are pitiful in them.
Another problem in addition to injury and physical fitness for postecoglou is mental down. Djed Spence tore the tape, threw it to the ground and went straight to the tunnel with Yves Bissouma when the match against Aston Villa closed. The remaining players, whether experienced like Pedro Porro or Rodrigo Bentancur often floating and lost his temper on the field.
Until the situation started negative and almost no longer seen light, in the coming weeks fans can hear more, witness more shocks from Tottenham. To get rid of the empty and relegation prospect, Postecoglou needs to be shocked all in the next 2 weeks. It was the time when Spurs only played 2 matches and had many days off to stabilize the situation.
