Captain of Tottenham Hotspur, his Heung-Min, identified “concentration” and “neglect” as key factors in the sad form of the club which put pressure on Ange Postcoglou.
The Spurs have not won a single Premier League match since their victory against Southampton on December 15, taking only five points out of 33 possibilities since the beginning of last month. Sunday’s defeat against Leicester City, in difficulty, was the sixth defeat in his last seven league outings.
Postcoglou is faced with frustration, even if the club hierarchy considers it for the moment, recognizing the impact that injuries have had on the results.
His addressed to the media after the “very painful” defeat of Leicester, who saw the Spurs falling to 2-1 after leading the match at halftime. It was in the first five minutes of the second half that the visiting foxes marked the equalization and the decisive winner.
“We can’t just [blame] fatigue because we had just released for the second half. Maybe it was a bit sloppy, they are not individual errors, in general, everything simply combines, “said his.
“It’s just a lack of concentration and a little negligence, and in the Premier League ranking, any team can punish us.”
The skipper added: “We are trying to block any outside noise outside the team and the group. We just want to get as many points as possible. There are still a lot of games to play, we want to recover players and experienced players and it will be very useful.
“We just have to focus on each match and each training session.”
After the last series of results, the Spurs occupied 15th place, eight uncomfortable points above the relegation area. The next step will be the respite of a home match of the Europa League against Elfsborg, before crossing London to face Brentford on Sunday afternoon.
