Angel Postcoglou buried his head in his hands for a few seconds of general disbelief to which they had just asked. 59 -year -old eyes exploded furiously while firmly defined Tottenham Hotspur players at the end of a fatal week that saw them retire from two cup competitions.

“I don’t know how if you can’t see that this team only tries to play the most difficult in maximum excessive circumstances,” he said.
“Two months and a partial requests of 18 years and 17 years and 17 years and senior players, without rest, to play Thursday, Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, Thursday, Sunday. I will continue for two months and if you think it is nothing in the way this team happens, I can’t say anything else. “
The Spurs have won two of their last 12 Premier League games. They are closer to the descent zone than the first four, so the cuts have become so vital for them than the postcoglou “always wins a trophy” at the time of the season in a club.

They took the opportunity to succeed in the Carabao Ultimate Cup through slowly going to Liverpool on Thursday and were never returned to the first purpose of Jacob Ramsey for Aston Villa. His only coverage now lies in the Europa League. Postcoglou was not suggested with the suggestion that his team had lost his identity and cannot paint in his favorite style.
“No, because they are tired, guy,” he retaliated. “Do you think they can press as (we would like)?” If we had not played on Thursday night and would not have converted this team, would we not have pressed aggressively today? Just luck, unless you don’t think human beings are. Unless you are superhuman and think: “No, after playing Liverpool on Thursday night, they fly tonight. ” It does not happen. They are human beings. Why do you think Liverpool and others run 11 players? So that? There is an explanation why and I would like to be able to do the same, so that I can bring freshness to the team.
“They play near the degrees we need or expect, but it is because they try. It is because they can. This organization of players, once we have the rest of the organization, will be an exceptional team. At the time, apart from the excessive scenario with The one they treat, their research is partial and objective.

Postcoglou makes some fair points. Tottenham had to face his goalkeeper, left back, central defender, creator of games and attack in the beyond two months. There is a massive load in some of the youngest players, adding to Archie Gray (18), Lucas Bergvall (19), Mikey Moore (17) and now the new firm Mathys Tel (19), which is beginning to cause Havocarey
The challenge of fatigue is not a good enough explanation of how Villa cuts spurs so gently in large part and marked in the first minute. Or why there was a massive area pocket in his midfielder that Ramsey, Morgan Rogers and Youri Tielemans continued to pass happily. There was a moment in the first part when Tielemans picked up the ball and ran 60 meters with it before shooting the edge of the box. It was similar to Bilal’s strike Khannouss in the 2-1 victory in Leicester City opposed to them in January. Classes are not learned.
There were several opportunities on Sunday when Gray and Kevin Dance were pressed through Rogers and Donyell Malen to turn awkwardly and return the ball. When goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky won the ball, he hit him for a long time towards Heung-min’s son. It is a tactic that they used with a good fortune limited in the 4-0 defeat opposite to Liverpool and has not improved anything. They returned the property to their hosts.
The XI of departure opposite to Villa contained a lot of technical quality through defense and midfielder, in particular Gray, Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur and Djed Spence. However, they seemed not to be able to launch a series of passes to draw in Villa, then move the ball around them. There is no conviction in what Tottenham seeks to do and what derives from the lack of trust.
In the 17th minute, Kinksy passed the ball to a retired Bentancur, who erased him in the man for Danso. It was an incredibly dictated maneuver that put his teammate in a clumsy position with a bullet that bounces in a tight domain and, without surprise, Daro hooked him for an investment. This team was brave in possession, but now they seem hesitant and nervous, which is understandable when each and every time we won this season.

The other postcoglou challenge will have to solve is to expand frustration within the team. Spence started its adhesive tape, threw it to the ground and went directly to the tunnel with Yves Bissouma in full time. Pedro Porro jumped after being in nutmeg and left a lot on the floor through Marcus Rashford. Then he knocked down the new Villa Striker with a wild kick on the edge of the box and escaped a punishment. International Spain has won a yellow card in the last 10 minutes for a version of Ramsey.
Bentancur was reserved to drag Rogers. Bergvall jumped to Rogers and then hit him later. In spite of everything, a reservation was also reserved for a failure in Ramsey. These are the moments when Postcoglou wants its older players, adding the captain son and leave Kulusevski, to calm everyone.
Does Postcoglou have time to solve those problems? The will is low due to the comfortable way in which they have launched two coverage opportunities. Cup competitions were a distraction of its horrible league form, which will now be under a more serious projector.
Tottenham only plays twice the next fortnight, because they ended in the first 8 of the European League phase. It will have to be the time when they restore their season and rediscover the lack of spark of their last two performances.
It may have been the week when Tottenham changed his season. Instead, we can look again in those few days, like the time, when everything has gone out of control.
