bsolutely gutted… as bad as it gets’: Postecoglou slams Spurs after historic Premier League collapse

In his 15 months as Tottenham’s manager, Ange Postecoglou has scarcely struck a more miserable figure than he did following their embarrassing Premier League loss to Brighton on Monday, which he described as “as bad as it gets.

” Spurs had been dominating Brighton at the Amex Stadium with some brilliant play, leading 2-0 at the break thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson and James Maddison.

It seemed to be the easiest of victories for Spurs on the south coast of England.

Nevertheless, the Australian team was nearly unrecognizable after the break, folding so meekly that they let up three goals in eighteen minutes to Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter, and Danny Welbeck, exhibiting the inconsistency that has become a trademark of Spurs, and not just under Postecoglou.

In the Premier League’s history, Spurs have lost games when they were two goals up ten times. Not a single club can match that depressing statistic.

Postecoglou has been occasionally tetchy and often defiant when Spurs’ performances have been questioned this season, but this time his response on Sky Sports, with head bowed, was unusually subdued.

That is disheartening. That’s certainly the worst loss we’ve had while I’ve been here, so I’m disappointed and frustrated,” he remarked.

We simply got carried away with how we were playing, which led to an unacceptable second half where we were nowhere near where we should have been.

It’s difficult to grasp, but we kind of accepted our fate—something we haven’t done since I’ve been here.

Typically, we’ve battled for all we’ve wanted, but there’s always a cost, and we paid it.

It appeared to me that things were moving too smoothly in the second half. In both football and life, getting ahead of yourself can lead to mishaps, so perhaps that’s why.

In the Premier League‘s history, Spurs have lost games when they were two goals up ten times.

That’s an awful statistic that no other club can match. “The players are not receiving a message.

” As bad as it gets, we’ve suffered a horrible loss, and I alone am responsible for finding a solution.

With Spurs having slumped to ninth on the table when they could have been sixth with a victory, many of Postecoglou’s squad will now disappear on international duty with food for thought.
