Son Slams ‘Sloppy’ Spurs As Pressure Mounts On Postecoglou

Son Heung-min slammed Tottenham’s lack of focus after Sunday’s “painful” 2-1 defeat against lowly Leicester increased the pressure on under-fire boss Ange Postecoglou.

Postecoglou’s side blew the lead given to them by Richarlison’s first-half goal as Jamie Vardy equalised before Bilal El Khannouss bagged Leicester’s winner in north London.

After a sixth defeat in their last seven top-flight games, Tottenham are currently 15th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone.

Incensed fans criticized Postecoglou’s choice to replace Richarlison, who also demanded that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy step down as a result of the atmosphere’s growing toxic load.

Although a scornful evaluation of Postecoglou’s performance from South Korean forward Son won’t help the Australians’ cause, it’s still unclear whether Postecoglou will be able to live much longer in his mediocre second season in charge.

“It is very painful. Particularly when you’re winning at half-time and only conceding two goals in a row. It let us down and is a very frustrating afternoon”, the Tottenham captain said.

“We just exited the second half, so we can’t just say tired.” Maybe it was a little bit sloppy.

Any team can punish us in the Premier League because of a lack of concentration and a little sloppiness.

“Sometimes we made the wrong choice in the middle of the road, and it wasn’t good enough.” Losing three points and conceding goals like this is very disappointing.

Fans who last saw their team play at that level in 1977 or 1978 are unprepared for the thought of Tottenham’s potential entry into the second tier.

Asked if Tottenham could be dragged into a relegation battle, Son said: “It is definitely not good enough. Although we lost far too many games, many more will be available and there will be many more.
