Dejan Kulusyvski pronounced an overwhelming verdict on the murderous defeat of Tottenham Hotspur in Nottingham Forest on Monday evening, describing the results of the “not good” team.
The Spurs were beaten 2-1 by the former manager Nuno Espirito Santo while the forest ended a double on the Lilywhites, with the late strike from Richarlison unable to overthrow the goals of Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood.
Tottenham succeeded 22 shots and created 2.14 goals expected but stumbled in his 18th Premier League defeat of the season, a result which left them languid in 16th and much closer to the relegation zone than the first four with regard to their count. Having reached the semi-finals of the Europa League last Thursday, it was a punishment check.
Chief coach Ange Postcoglou should be thrown at the end of the term, regardless of the success of the Europa League and Kulusevski is the last to slam the sub-performant Lilywhites.
“”[The top clubs have] I have done it for many years, “said the Swedish when he questioned Tottenham’s inconsistency.” They know exactly what they are doing. They bring a lot of players ready to play both competitions. And they are prepared for this.
“This year, we cannot say that we are prepared for this because we have had so many injuries and we have done a lot of things badly since the start of the season and we are paying it right now.
“After big nights like Thursday, you always go down. This is why the teams that are in more competitions pay [a price]. We do not handle it properly, we do not handle it well. Because after 16 minutes, we had conceded three goals, with the offside goal. Then it is difficult to win football matches. It’s not good enough. “”
He added: “The manager said that the first 15 minutes cost us the game with corners and free kicks.
“”[It’s] Not good enough. We have to improve. We have to improve crosses. I know that we defended the property on Thursday but we concede too much cross and everyone must assume responsibilities and ask we why we concede so much crosses. “”
Things do not become much simpler for the Spurs, which will face Liverpool at the Toppers table on Sunday, which could be the match that the Reds won the title of the Premier League, before the first crucial stage of their link in the Europa League semi-finals with the Norwegian outsiders Bodo / Glimt the following Thursday.
