Ange Postecoglou Shows Frustration Over Tottenham’s Wasteful Attack at Leicester

A frustrated Ange Postecoglou urged his Tottenham side to quickly find a ruthless edge in front of goal to close the gap to the Premier League’s top four.

“We Need to Keep Working Hard”

“It was an issue we had last year as well, we need to keep working hard and be a bit more ruthless in front of goal,” Postecoglou said.

Spurs were left frustrated after a 1-1 draw at Leicester, despite dominating the game. Jamie Vardy, 37, equalized for the hosts with their first shot on target and only their second attempt of the match.

“I don’t have a lot of information but I do know he is fine to communicate,” said Postecoglou as he was reassured that Rodrigo Bentancur was conscious and able to communicate after being stretchered off in the 78th minute following a head clash with Abdul Fatawu and a heavy fall 

Grief Over Tottenham’s Wasteful Attack

Poatecoglou expresses grief over Tottenham’s wasteful attack, He said 

“At times we made poor decisions. When we are that dominant we should be out of sight. We did everything to score goals and we didn’t score. The dominance is great but if you don’t score it is meaningless.

“We have to be stronger in our mindset in the front third. To be that wasteful is disappointing. We just weren’t clinical. To get results you need to be a lot more ruthless in the final third. If we don’t, we won’t get the rewards our football should get. If we are going to get to the next level, it is an area we have to improve. We want to bridge the gap to the top teams. The performance of the players in general was very good but we need to turn good performances into outcomes.”

Vardy Signed a New Contract in the Summer

To extend the stay at Leicester Vardy signed a new 12-month contract in the summer. 

“I see it as just a number. As long as I keep looking after myself and my legs keep feeling great, then I will carry on for as long as is physically possible. I was as fit as a fiddle until I got to about 65 minutes … I have probably adapted [my game] a bit by dropping in but I think the main thing is I am looking after myself recovery-wise to the maximum.” Vardy said
