Ange Postecoglou says he saw his Tottenham players do something for ‘the first time’ during 4-2 loss at Wolves

The writing could be on the wall for Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham.

Spurs now sit 15th in the Premier League after a 4-2 defeat at Wolves, a match in which the Tottenham players certainly didn’t seem like they were playing for the Australian.

Guglielmo Vicario and Cristian Romero both delivered terrible performances, with the Italian at fault for the first two goals, while the latter was easily shoved aside by Rayan Ait-Nouri, a Spurs target, for the third.

With the spotlight on Spurs players amid huge uncertainty surrounding Ange Postecoglou, the 59-year-old said he saw his side do something for “the first time” at Molineux.

When asked about the catalogue of errors on display from his players at Molineux, the man born in Nea Filadelfeia opted not to pile the criticism on, but instead labelled it as an anomaly.

Postecoglou told Sky Sports: “It was a funny old game. The performance wasn’t too bad, but the goals we conceded obviously made it difficult for us. In general, I thought we were well in the game and controlled it really well, but we just kept conceding really poor goals.”

When asked whether nerves were to blame for mistakes “creeping in” at Tottenham, the Spurs boss snapped: “No. It’s the first time I’ve seen it, so I don’t think it’s creeping in. It just happened today.”

Ange Postecoglou comments are extremely concerning

Focusing on the first part of Postecoglou’s comments above, he is simply making no sense whatsoever.

We cannot understand how the Spurs boss feels his side “controlled” the game “really well” by any means, with even the talented Lucas Bergvall succumbing to a mistake after overrunning his attempted dribble.

Interviews as bizarre as this often reek of a manager trying to gaslight a fanbase into thinking things are better than they are, but nobody knows a club as well as a supporter.

If Postecoglou thinks he can pull the wool over the eyes of Tottenham fans, he may have another thing coming.
