Angeball is facing severe scrutiny as Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur are suffering from an endless hangover following a bit of that football champagne in recent months.Spurs currently have only 24 points, which is 15 fewer than they had at the same stage of last season.They are also the first Premier League team to sit in the bottom half of the table after 20 rounds despite having a positive double-digit goal difference since Claudio Ranieri’s Chelsea in 2000-01.Totttenham have now won just one of their last eight Premier League matches, and none of their last six PL home games (D2, L4).Slump. 🫠 pic.twitter.com/nNcihbMjy4— Statman James (@JamesStatman) January 4, 2025 Since Postecoglou was appointed, Spurs have conceded 91 goals – the seventh most from teams in the top flight since the Australian tactician joined the north Londoners.Their 30 goals against this season are worse than 12 other Premier League teams. Moreover, they have registered just one victory from their last eight EPL game. Spurs are winless in six successive Premier League home games, which is their worst run since October 2008.Big boss Ange, however, is furious because he believes it would be a whole different story “if all things were equal”, like yesterday, in a 2-1 loss to the Magpies.##NAJAVA_MECA_8609912##Postecoglou was fuming when Newcastle’s equalizer had been allowed to stand after a handball in the build-up.”I’m just really, really angry. Angriest I think I have ever been in my career.””I’m just really, really angry, angriest I’ve ever been in my career” 😯Ange Postecoglou was NOT happy about the Joelinton handball call in Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat to Newcastle 💭 pic.twitter.com/jBV7vX1LBk— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) January 4, 2025 He added: “On the balance of play, any balance you want with all things being equal, we would have won today.”Outstanding. I couldn’t be prouder of the players. I couldn’t ask any more. It’s a game we would have won if all things were equal.”If all things were equal and balanced, we would have won today. Things weren’t equal and balanced.”ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 20Saturday Tottenham – Newcastle 1-2 (1-2)/Solanke 4 – Gordon 6, Isak 38/Aston Villa – Leicester 2-1 (0-0)/Barkley 58, Bailey 76 – Mavididi 63/Bournemouth – Everton 1-0 (0-0)/Brooks 77/Crystal Palace – Chelsea 1-1 (0-1)/Mateta 82 – Cole 14/Man.City – West Ham 4-1 (2-0)/Coufal (og) 10, Haaland 42, 55, Foden 58 – Fullkrug 71/Southampton – Brentford 0-5 (0-1)/Chade 6, Mbuemo 62, 69, Wissa 90+2, Lewis Potter 90+5/Brighton – Arsenal 1-1 (0-1)/Pedro (p) 61 – Nwaneri 16/Sunday Fulham – Ipswich IN PROGRESS19.30: (1.33) Liverpool (5.50) Man.Utd.
