London – Ange Postecogle is not a strange risk, but on Thursday he played his most dangerous game.
Tottenham Hotspur were another insipid in the middle Premier League power when its 64. minute double change-in Pope Matar Sarr and Brennan Johnson for Lucas Bergvall and Wilson Posobert – It caused a short but audible singing “You don’t know what you are doing” from fans at the end.
A moment later, Sarr embarked on an equalizer, and took a few steps to those who are now enthusiastic fans and shake his ear before turning away and shooking his head.
How unfortunate to the 59 -year -old head coach was then expelled this goal because of a foul on Moses Caicedo After review VAR will return Enzo FernándezIn the header in the 50th minute to match the state of the winner as Chelsea ensured and 1-0 victory which takes them above Manchester City And fourth place.
Postcogla has previously been involved in heated fan replacements most memorable on Bournemouthlast on Fulham And maybe prefer After losing to descend threatened Leicester City At the end of January. Leicester has since lost all eight consecutive games.
The defeat is perfectly short -term, but this incident still occurred live in the match and stands as an unrestrained reaction that threatens a weak relationship with supporters who simply cannot afford to worsen. Then his explanation was unconvincing.
“Jeezi, it is incredible how things are interpreted,” he said.
“We just scored and wanted to hear them cheer up. We were in a difficult time and thought it was a crackling goal. I wanted them to be really excited because I felt at the moment we could potentially continue and win the game. I just felt it was on the way.
“It doesn’t bother me. It’s not the first time my substitution or my decision emerged. It’s okay, they can do it, but we’ve just scored a goal. I was, if people want to read, we’re trying to just feel about it.”
Shouting is growing among Spurs supporters for change. Most of this focused on chairman Daniel Levy, who was again focused here. The “Want Want Levy Out” shit was heard for the first time in the 18th minute and later provided the soundtrack to another endless wait for the excellent Caicedo for Offside in accumulation.
A small reading of the banner “time for change” was also held, another nod to the broadly held that the postcogla is only the latest in a number of SPURS managers who were not sufficiently supported by the ownership of financial cautiousness than to success for football. Yet the postcoglou risks that he turns to himself, that he, the idea of not rejecting.
“Oh, do you know what? I’m in such a disconnection with the world these days, who knows who knows? Maybe you’re right,” he replied. “I don’t know, but that’s not my intention.”
His uncompromising commitment to attack football is breathtaking at best, but the worst kamikaze. This is 16. Defeat of the Spurs season, their most after 30 Premier League campaign games. Remain in 14th place, closer in points descend than The UEFA Champions League a place that desires.
And yet their injury crisis has released sufficiently to associate with the reverse pair for the first selection Micky van de out and Cristian Romero with Dominic Soland in an attack and Destiny udogie Available again at the left stern. Deja’s Kičusevski is still picked up with the January signature Kevin danso, Richarlisonand Dragusin’s adviceBut the postcogla failed to explain another defective display by emphasizing the lack of options.
Simply put, the ratio of the risk of reward has been turned off again. They did not create enough to be so open. It wasn’t a collapse. Actually Son Heung-Min could catch an unlikely point per minute from the end of normal time but couldn’t get enough on his distant effort with goalkeeper Chelsea Robert Sánchez Skrat to cover.
In the first half, however, Spurs failed to register a shot to the target, and the postcoglou extensive approach made this kind of game that suited Chelsea, rather than an opponent with a low block that frustrated them late. Chelsea remains fragile alone. Cole Palmer He found his first league assistance in two months with a fine cross that Fernández buried, which benefits from the alarming lack of markings in the heart of Tottenham’s defense.
But they were supposed to win a wider margin. Nicolas Jackson he was unable to earn on several promising occasions before Sancho Jadon forced stunning savings Guglielmo Vicar As the game approached the interval. Fernández’s goal was enough for Chelsea to win the victory they needed to create a certain positive dynamics before Sunday’s trip Brentford And the delicate run that lies in waiting.
The postcoglou fate now certainly rests on UEFA Europa League. After hosting SouthamptonSpur Eintracht Frankfurt On Thursday, the first stage of their quarterfinals can know that only victory in this tie can offer a credible case for his continuing job.
He hung up on the last whistle and allowed Spurs players to go and acknowledge the end while he kept his distance. Perhaps he would finally have enough risk for one evening. If the feeling between most Spurs fans becomes mutual, the postcoglou number will soon be up.
