Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou expressed disappointment with his team’s lack of effort and intensity in their recent match against Fulham, noting that it was the first time this season he felt they fell short of certain performance standards.
Despite coming off a resounding 4-0 victory against Aston Villa, Tottenham succumbed to a 3-0 defeat against Fulham, with Rodrigo Muniz scoring twice and Sasa Lukic adding another goal for the home side.
Postecoglou acknowledged that Tottenham was without Micky van de Ven, but he believed that shouldn’t have caused the team to collapse entirely. He emphasized that Spurs had shown competitiveness throughout the season, even in losses, but that spirit was notably absent against Fulham.
Reflecting on the match, Postecoglou lamented the contrast between Tottenham’s previous competitive performances and their lackluster showing against Fulham. He described the team’s usual competitiveness as “missing” and expressed disappointment in their overall display.
The defeat was a significant setback for Tottenham, especially coming off the back of a morale-boosting victory. Postecoglou highlighted the importance of consistency and resilience, stressing the need for improvement after the international break to remain competitive in the race for Champions League football.
