Ange Postecoglou took ownership of Tottenham Hotspur’s disappointing 2-0 loss to Chelsea on Thursday evening, acknowledging that he must bear the responsibility for the defeat.
Despite some fleeting opportunities, Spurs struggled to break through Chelsea’s defense, ultimately conceding goals to Trevoh Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson. Postecoglou’s frustration was evident as he was captured on camera urging his players to refrain from “passing backwards” during the match, which marked their third consecutive defeat.
In the aftermath, Postecoglou didn’t evade the team’s struggles and admitted to his role in the downturn. “We didn’t display the style of football or the mindset that I expect from us,” he remarked. “That’s on me, as I’m the one guiding and preparing the team. We fell well short, and I have to take accountability for that.”
