Postecoglou overlook the date with fate while the Spurs capitulate again
If Ange Postecoglou is on the hunt for losses at Tottenham Hotspur, his research should start with those who cross his midfield and the defense that have been unattended to put his work in danger.
Postecoglou revealed on Friday that inside his club there was a mole that filtered classified information in the public domain.
But what is not secret is that the Spurs are a soft touch for opponents even with the slightest hint of threat.
It was demonstrated again in a 4-2 defeat by the wolves in Molineux – a masterclass in every reason why the Postecoglou team has lost 17 games of the Premier League out of 32, more than in any other season, and because they languish in 15th place.
Their afternoon was encapsulated by the Farcical Goal of Djed Spence, while goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario pale the ball against full back and on the net, to give the wolves an advantage of two goals at first discouraging.
Thunder’s expression of Postecoglou turned to a complete disbelief when he returned to the bench to review the moment on a monitor. It was a horror show classified x.
It is a defect that the Australian has not been simply able to cure, undermining all its fine attack principles that prompted such optimism and hope in the first months of his kingdom.
Since Postecoglou took on control before the 2023-24 campaign, only West Ham and Sheffield United (seven each) have scored more goals than the Premier League than the six of Spurs.
And only the current three clubs at the bottom – Southampton (26), Leicester (22) and Ipswich (19) – have lost multiple championship matches compared to 17 this season.
It is most of the defeats that the Spurs suffered in a championship campaign since 2003-04 (19) when they finished the 14th.
However, there must be a context applied to this defeat.
The priorities of Postecoglou, perfectly understandably, are found with the second stage of the quarter-finals of the Europa League in Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday after a 1-1 draw in the first meeting at home.
He explained the six changes that saw his son Heung-Min, Micky Van de Ven, Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie held up, while Rodrigo Bentancur replaced. The great bonus was the return of Dejan Kulusevski after an injury for a summary of 15 minutes.
There is also a worrying disadvantage of that context.
If there is any repetition of the inattention and general incompetence that has scarred this display, the hopes of the Spurs Trophy will be finished for another season and therefore, in all likelihood, it will be the spell of Pospecoglou in office.
What cannot be explained is the slapdash way and the lack of basic organization that has allowed the rejuvenated wolves to record a fourth high -level success for the first time since January 1972.
It started in two minutes, when the domesticated punch of a corner of vicar from a corner found the defender of the wolves Rayan At-Nouri not marked by the set on the edge of the area. He accepted the invitation to score.
The second was another calamity, a vicar again guilty when he turned the striker of the house Marshall Munneti, the header of Spence when he could hold back, the ball bounced in his goal.
And even when Mathys Tel offered hope shortly before the hour with his second league goal in subsequent games, Cristian Romero broke his status as winner of the World Cup with a shocking piece of defense. The central defender of Argentina was robbed and beaten by a-nouri, who crossed Jorgen Strand Larsen to mark easily and for a fourth consecutive game.
He went on.
Spurs inflicted more than their injuries after Richarlison thought he had created a finished ending with five minutes left.
Lucas Bergvall, decisive in the first goals of Spurs, then hears possession too easily in an instant, leaving Matheus Cunha to run clearly and score only a minute later.
