The first songs “We wish the billing” were heard long before the implosion that condemned Spurs on their latest defeat. The fans home came into their dissatisfaction in the first half. What happened later just increased the strength.
It was intruding Ange Postecoglou, of course, which then had to face cameras. It's a lot of head coach. But he is not the main goal for IRE home house supporters. Chairman Daniel Levy Man is a man in the fire.
Levy, of course, turned the club during his seat, introducing their magnificent new stadium and overhaul infrastructure. On the field, however, supporters feel to see the same old problems. There remains a culture of inconsistency.
Inability is not new, but recent events brought it into a sharp focus. Spurs are on the move of one victory from the 12 Games of the Premier League. They lost 13 of 23 this season total. Only Leicester, wolves and Southampton often tasted defeat more often. These sides are in the fight to fall out. Spurs, 15., maybe they could be now.
They are with injuries, and James Maddison is the latest player will be placed, joining the list of non-philoses that stretches in double figures. And yet, almost four weeks in the January Transfer window, their only older signature is 21-year-old Naton Antonin Kinsky.
“Players need help,” Postecoglou said at his press conference. He added that the club “works” hard “to” alleviate the problems, “but became famous. The fans certainly feel that way. It was so clear from the mood within the country.
Levy can, of course, point to heavy investment in the previous Transfer Windows. But even without injuries, the detachment remains unequilated. Archie Gray and Lucas Bergwall showed a huge promise, but along with the Wilson approval, they were signed in summer with the future in mind.
Today's problems, such as a great lack of defense depth, are not resolved and do not pay a difficult price because the injuries continue to accommodate. The postecoglouina side now received at least two goals in five flat premier games.
Postecoglou was not free of guilt, of course. His list of injuries is mostly down to bad luck but his stunning devotion to play his The way is a contribution factor. Even as the lack of absence has risen, he continued to send his side to play in Breaking Speed.
Their intensity can be seen in the premier data monitoring data, which, in front of the spurs, is shown by the tip of the Spurs among premier league clubs for both sprints and covered distance. The physical requirements of the postecoglous approach take the toll on the players.
It's a vicious circle. Without the options for rotation, postecoglou asks more and more than those who still stand. He led him for his decision to take off Richarlison in the second half, but he insisted that the attacker “felt his groin” and “he should have settled down at half.” Pape Sarr, he added, he shouldn't play at all, but he had to do the lack of Maddison.
It is hope that the form of the Spurs will be picked up because the list of injuries begins cleaning. But he asked at his press conference if he expects to be still in force when that happens, the postecoglou was realistic. “Who knows?” He said. “Chunk Fair will say no.”
And in addition, injuries do not explain the current problems completely.
Spurs cannot be carried without four members of their first choice, but have lost games even with Cristian Romero, Micky Van De Ven, Destiny Udogie and Guglielmo vicario earlier this season, with Arsenal and Brighton among the sides to win them.
They are still capable of spectacular results. Even these season, they put four goals next to Manchester City and Aston Villas. They also beat Liverpool and Manchester United. But defensive openness visible in the spells against Leicester was the topic of the postecoglou's term.
Again, then he talked to the efforts of his players, insisting to stay behind him. “The players are dedicated to what we do,” he said. “When you are a football club manager, you can feel vulnerable and isolated, I don't feel it.”
But his claim to be able to achieve “something special” in the remaining months of the season that feels imaginative in extreme considering context. Spurs are a long way from where they want to be – and they were too long. Postecoglou is not the only feeling of heat.
Who's guilty? What fans say
We invited the fans of Spurs to comment on the side suggestion in our match blog after the match. Read on the selection of their comments.
Spursur12345: “Not manger guilty. How do you expect to be able to perform at the highest level on Earth, and there is no first national team, without financial support and injury? They are better in cups right now because the pace is smaller. Time Enic is sold and help the club move forward. “
Alfie: “Ange should leave to save his own career. Levy could be a good businessman, but he is a shocking owner of the football club. Levy is engaged in decent managers with fake promises, and then pull them out in my opinion.”
James: “Ange must go, his system is the manj and it's too hard to change it. The structure of the team is such that any breakdowns for attack are. Levy and the Board are the biggest problem in Spurs, but Ange will descend down. “
Lee: “The depth of the detachment will never be resistant enough to compete in Europe and the Premier League. But this decline of the form is funny and something has to change, otherwise we will sleep in the championship.”
