FIFA has just announced VERY SAD NEWS for the Officials and Referees of the match between Chelsea vs Totheham and this have cost them thier Jo
An angry Ange Postecoglou said that his Tottenham players were “nowhere near good enough” after losing to Chelsea 2-0. He also admitted that they were to blame for their lackluster performance at Stamford Bridge.
Trevor Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson both scored goals with heads on a lazy night for Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea team, who came into the game having lost three straight games.
The away team was hoping for a big response after losing to Newcastle and Arsenal in a row in the Premier League. But there was none in west London, and Postecoglou’s frustration turned to anger near the end of the first half.
Postecoglou got very angry and yelled at Pape Matar Sarr and Cristian Romero right after Chalobah scored the first goal. TV cameras caught the 58-year-old giving his players the “hairdryer treatment” from his training area.
But Postecoglou’s anger didn’t make a difference that night, and the North London team is now seven points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa with four games left in the season.
“No, that’s not good enough, and I’m responsible for that.” “That’s on me,” Postecoglou said in a snarky interview with Sky Sports after the game.
“I’m the boss, I put them out there, and it wasn’t even close to good enough.”
“Like I said, I need to figure out how to make a bigger difference and solve all of this.”
“Well when we put on a show like we did in the first half it means obviously my message isn’t getting through,” Postecoglou said when asked where Tottenham fell short.
“That’s my problem to solve.”
When asked to explain his message that “didn’t get through” to the players, Sky Sports’ Patrick Davison asked the Tottenham boss a question that made him look bad.
“Come on, buddy.” We played badly. What do you need? Should I sit here and write you a report on what went wrong? He hit back.
“Like I said, I’ll take the blame; we were poor at first.” I still think their goal was offside, but no one cares.
“But that was enough for us, and as I said, that’s my fault.”
Postecoglou wanted to make it clear that his angry outburst had nothing to do with his team giving up goals, but with how they played in the first half.
“It wasn’t about giving up the goal; it was about how we played football,” he said.
“We weren’t even close to good enough or as positive as we need to be, and that’s my fault again.”
Throughout the season, Tottenham has given up too many goals from set pieces, and Postecoglou didn’t like it when Davison asked him why he didn’t seem “interested” in solving the problem.
“That’s a really good question,” he said with a sneer.
It wasn’t that I wasn’t interested; I just said it wasn’t important to me. If people think set pieces are what we need, that’s fine. I’m going to do my job.
