Ange Postecoglou reacts to latest Tottenham defeat

• Loss to Fulham was 15th in the Premier League this season
• Europa League cannot be allowed to become sole focus

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has admitted. That 15 Premier League defeats is “nowhere near good enough”. Vowing not to let the domestic campaign become a write-off.

Losing against Fulham on Sunday means โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที that Spurs have beaten in more than half of their 29 league fixtures this season. They are ten points adrift of the top half, were knock out of the Carabao Cup at the semi-final stage and are already out of the FA Cup.

The only realistic way to save the season – and ensure that European football is on the calendar in 2025/26 – is to go all the way in the Europa League. With European qualification effectively out of the question via the Premier League. That would deliver an automatic Champions League berth.

It would also see Postecoglou maintain his record of always delivering silverware in his second season at a club, as well as breaking Spurs’ longstanding drought that has extended to 18 years.

Spurs will face 2021/22 Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals next month.

After which a potential semi-final would be against Lazio or Bodo/Glimt. Should Manchester United successful on the other side of the bracket. There could be an all-English final in Warsaw in May.

But Postecoglou is adamant that he won’t allow Europe to become the sole focus for the remaining ten weeks of the season at the expense of still chasing results in the Premier League.

“I said to the players, I’m not going to let anyone just think about Europa and nothing else. We can’t let this league season go the way it has. We’ve lost way too many games, unacceptable,” he said.

Discussing the 2-0 defeat to Fulham. Which both goals at Craven Cottage were score in the final 15 minutes, Postecoglou add: “I understand the supporters’ frustrations with that. It was another day where we let a game get away from us when we shouldn’t. We had chances to go 1-0 up which would have put pressure on them, then they scored a really soft goal.
