Spurs manager Postecoglou says, “I can’t just flip a switch and change style”

Following a 6-3 loss to Premier League leaders Liverpool at home on Sunday, Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou stated that there is no quick fix for his injury-plagued team.

The London club provided excellent entertainment once more, but supporters were not comforted by the fact that they had let nine goals in their previous two home league games.

In midweek, they also defeated Manchester United 4-3 in the League Cup, showcasing their chaotic side. Postecoglou then criticized several commentators who questioned his strategy.

Although the gap between Tottenham and Liverpool on Sunday was actually obscured by a three-goal deficit, Postecoglou once again came out swinging in some acerbic post-match comments.

In one, he seemed on the verge of losing patience when asked whether there were any other explanations outside a long number of injuries for why his team was in 11th position going into Christmas.

In their match against Liverpool, Tottenham started without forward Richarlison, left backs Ben Davies and Destiny Udogie, center backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, and first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.

“You know what? The Australian told BBC Sport, “I’m just going to stop answering these questions.” “I won’t draw attention to the obvious if people are unable to see it. Look, feel free to do as you choose. Yes, we are giving up goals.

“If you want to discount the fact we’re missing a goalkeeper, two center backs and a left back as well and that hasn’t coincided with what we’re doing … I don’t know what to say anymore.”

Opta claims that Tottenham’s Premier League average of 3.6 goals per game under Postecoglou is the highest of any manager in charge of at least 50 games in the league.

While Spurs supporters continued to sing his name on Sunday, many used social media or radio phone-ins to attack Postecoglou for Tottenham’s weakness, with others arguing that he is more concerned with style than substance.

“My strategy will not alter even if others want it to. He told reporters, “We are doing it because we believe it will help us succeed. That’s why we are doing it.

“I get the idea that people think that I should just flip a switch and change and somehow that will miraculously make us a better team.”

Postecoglou boldly predicted that his team would have moved up the table by the holiday season, saying last month that no one would be pleased if they remained in 10th place at Christmas.

However, such is the current situation. He said, “I don’t know what you mean by pressure,” when asked if he felt under pressure. Our current position at the table bothers me. I’m not sure what kind of pressure this is. That’s for other people to evaluate if you’re suggesting that my ranking of 10th indicates that I’m not performing well and that I should feel uneasy in any way.
