Coach Ange Postecoglou admitted that he was "very heartbroken" by Tottenham's declining form. However, the Australian strategist still feels that the "Roosters" can revive in the Premier League this season.
Spurs could end a difficult December well if they beat Wolves. The first-half goals of Rodrigo Bentancur and Brennan Johnson helped Tottenham take the lead after Hwang Hee-chan opened the scoring for Wolves.
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min also missed a penalty in the 43rd minute, but at that time Spurs still had the advantage. However, Jorgen Strand Larsen scored the decisive goal with only 3 minutes left in the match, causing Tottenham to lose the unfortunate victory.
The "Roosters" will start the new year 2025 in the bottom half of the rankings with only 1 win in the last 7 matches in the Premier League. In addition, they have received bad news as Destiny Udogie is the latest player to join the long injury list.
"I felt heartbroken because I was the one who took the responsibility. When I see the players trying like this, I feel even more heartbroken. I want them to receive rewards for their efforts. That made me extremely heartbroken. That is my responsibility for the current position of the team" - Postecoglou said after the draw against Wolves.
The draw against Wolves means Spurs have failed to win in their last five home games. They have dropped to 11th place in the Premier League table with only 24 points after 19 matches. However, Postecoglou has not given up hope as key players return from injury.
"At some point, we will have a healthy squad and be able to compete at a high level. We have shown that we can beat anyone.
There is always a chance to move forward. It depends on supporting the players both physically and mentally," the Australian added.
Tottenham are sixth and just three points behind Chelsea after a 4-0 win over Manchester City on November 23. However, they are now closer to the relegation zone than the top four teams.
According to British media, Tottenham's board will give Postecoglou a final chance to keep his seat by winning the Carabao Cup. The Londoners have now reached the semi-finals of this tournament but their opponent will be Liverpool.
