“We started well and conceded a really poor goal,” Postecoglou told BBC Sport. “It’s a challenging place to come when giving the opposition the chance to play in the manner they want. It’s disappointing.It’s something we’ve done consistently and we always pay the price for it.”
Winger Dejan Kulusevski echoed his manager’s sentiments, expressing his frustration with the team’s inability to defend set pieces.
“It is not good enough,” Kulusevski said. “We conceded again on a corner and then everything gets much more difficult. Too manny times this year we have conceded easy goals on corners.”
The Swedish international added,”Second half we came out much better and made some chances but we did not score and then lost the game.We are so disappointed to lose again.”
spurs now face a daunting challenge against high-flying Chelsea this weekend, a match that will test their resilience and ability to bounce back from another setback.
