Football: Ange Postecoglou has come to the defence of his side after their 2-1 loss to Aston Villa in the FA Cup.
That is to be expected when a big six club like Tottenham sits 14th on the Premier League table almost two-thirds of the way through the season.The results are not stacking up in the Australia n’s favour, but there is an unshakeable feeling among his backers that if he was not an outsider in English football, he might be afforded more rope.“I’m just going to stop answering these questions.
Undeniably, not good enough for a club with a lot of financial power considering its 80% per cent ownership by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, well-known for funding LIV Golf and spreading their wealth throughout the sporting world in recent years.It was widely accepted that the Englishman, who made his name by taking Bournemouth to the Premier League for the first time, had his hands tied by an injury-riddled squad.
The regularity with which they sack managers, Postecoglou is their 12th permanent manager this century, is the bud of many jokes. There is little shame in losing to the Premier League leaders, or Aston Villa have qualified for the Champions League Round of 16, but that did not prevent the pile on. “It’s time to go now, Ange is out of his depth. Emery is on a different planet compared to him and his players bopped us off the park. Should have been five, we’re like reserve team playing in academy games that don’t matter, it’s crazy,” O’Hara wrote.
With the injury crisis, the odds have been massively skewed against them, but the cup competitions kept the hope alive. Their next European clash is not until March 6 as they will enjoy some much-needed breathing space between matches this month after a manic December and January.Spurs played 17 matches across all competitions in that stretch as the casualty ward overflowed.
“So that gives us a real good opportunity to get some work into the guys who have been out for quite a while and give some rest to the guys who have been going at it. So by the time we get back to being in Europe and having midweek games we’ll be in a much better shape.” “These are the moments when Postecoglou needs his senior players, including the captain Son and Dejan Kulusevski, to calm everyone down.”If the players can reset, they may be able to claw their way back to the days of Postecoglou’s honeymoon period at Spurs.
