Ange Postecoglou has never been one to make it easy for reporters during press conferences. The Tottenham Hotspur boss appeared to lose his nerve momentarily as a reporter quizzed him about winning trophies with Spurs in his second season.
Postecoglou and co. suffered a frustrating 1-0 defeat in the north London derby as Arsenal picked up all three points courtesy of a goal from Gabriel Magalhaes. The 59-year-old had earlier mentioned that he ‘usually’ wins things in second season at a club. However, when asked about the same again, the Australian did not seem pleased.
Yes. If I can answer the question or are you going to keep asking? I'll correct myself. I don't usually win things, I always win things in my second year.Ange Postecoglou told Sky Sports (H/T: GOAL)
The pressure has now started to mount on the boss after the defeat left them in 13th position in the Premier League. Even though the Australian is a brilliant tactician, fans argue that he is still underperforming as per his standards.
Even though Postecoglou has succeeded in claiming silverware in his last two clubs, Spurs are his biggest test yet. Spurs take on Coventry City in Round 3 of the EFL Cup on Wednesday.
Ange Postecoglou claims Tottenham deserved better vs Arsenal
The north London derby is one of the most heavily contested games in the English top flight. Despite a solitary goal being the difference between the two sides, Arsenal fans argued that they managed to claim all three points despite having significant injuries to several first team players.
For starters, captain Martin Odegaard missed the game due to an ankle sprain suffered during the international break. After the defeat, Ange Postecoglou talked to the press and stated that his side were punished for not making the best of their chances.
I think I've said my piece. For the most part, we've had good possession, controlled the game and had good territory.Ange Postecoglou told the press
The club play their next Premier League game against Brentford on Saturday. Fans noticed how the goal animation on the scoreboard depicted the cannon on Arsenal’s logo fire at the cockerel on the Spurs logo. A supporter laughed at how it symbolizes the north London derby and how Arsenal always find a way to put their opponents in their place. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta became the first manager in the club’s history to win three consecutive away games against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
