Talking after the loss to Chelsea, Postecoglou instructed Sky Sports activities: “It’s a sore one. Painful.

Second-half was a ding-dong and we had an enormous likelihood with (Heung-Min) Son to swing the sport our approach. Then the 2 penalties weren’t nice on our behalf – we’d like extra self-discipline within the field.
“We did not play nicely towards Bournemouth however we performed nicely right now. They are a good facet. A high staff. We obtained disrupted in key moments and the important thing moments determined the sport.

Tottenham supervisor Ange Postecoglou shares his ideas on their 4-3 defeat to Chelsea regardless of Spurs flying right into a 2-0 lead inside 11 minutes.
However Postecoglou’s feedback have triggered alarm for Carragher, who believes the 59-year-old is in peril of dropping his job if he doesn’t change his attacking type of play.
Certainly in his 53 Premier League video games in cost, Tottenham have each scored and conceded in 36 of them (68 per cent) – solely Ossie Ardiles’ video games had the next ratio of seeing either side rating (69 per cent).
Carragher instructed Sky Sports activities: “Ange said how well they played. I can’t imagine any Liverpool manager I played for – and we conceded four in a game – would say in the interview we played well. If you play this way you’ll get the result like at Manchester City but you’d also get results like this one where you’re 2-0 up. I’ve never got my head around managers saying we play a ‘certain way and we will never change’ – I think it started with Pep Guardiola at Barcelona.
“This concept that wherever they play, they may play their approach. However that was one of the best staff I’ve ever seen. Pep Guardiola then needed to change his Man Metropolis staff who have been profitable the leagues each season, placing centre-backs at full-back. This concept you can’t change is alien to me. The sport-state dictates the way you play, not on a regular basis however in case you go away to a tricky away floor you should not play the identical approach as you do towards a staff on the backside.
“There’s this idea of playing a pure game and the Tottenham fans singing ‘We’ve got our Tottenham back’ but you won’t win anything, you won’t challenge.
“I get up each morning hoping the solar is shining, so I can put some shorts and a T-shirt on but when it is raining, you place your coat on. You’ll be able to’t have this concept about taking part in a technique, it will not work. If it does not change, he will not be right here subsequent season.”
Redknapp: Spurs should prioritise Carabao Cup

They will also fully expect to be in the FA Cup fourth round after being drawn away to non-league Tamworth next month.
Postecoglou said in his post-match press conference: “There’s nonetheless loads to play for us in phrases between now and January simply to ensure that we maintain performing.
“I still sense within this squad there’s a real kind of conviction in what we’re doing, and if we maintain that, then we’ll turn our season around and hopefully at some point we hit some smoother waters just in terms of some of the things that are happening at the moment. Some of it’s self-inflicted, but hopefully, we can get some more consistency.”

Postecoglou claimed earlier this season he “always wins things” in his second yr in cost and Jamie Redknapp believes that ending the membership’s 16-year trophy drought shall be his precedence amid an underwhelming league marketing campaign.
Redknapp instructed Sky Sports activities: “They have to win a trophy – that’s the stick they are beaten with. If they win a trophy this year it will give them confidence and belief that they can get top four.
“They should change the historical past of this membership. For too lengthy they’ve had an perspective of not being profitable and letting folks down. Whereas in the event that they win a trophy it can give Ange a little bit of respiratory house.
“They’ve got Manchester United in the Carabao Cup, they can win that. If you look at the winners of that trophy recently it’s either been Man City, Man Utd or Liverpool. Winning that is more important than finishing top four.
“The house owners could disagree, however it will be nice for the fanbase and the gamers.”
