Australian manager Ange Postecoglou says he is 'absolutely gutted' after Tottenham gave up a halftime lead to lose to Brighton in the EPL.
Manager Ange Postecoglou said he was 'gutted' by the match and that it was 'worst loss' in his time at the club. Ange Postecoglou has not cut such a dejected figure in his 15-month reign as Tottenham boss as he did after their sorry Premier League capitulation at Brighton, a defeat he called "as bad as it gets".
Postecoglou has been occasionally tetchy and often defiant when Spurs' performances have been questioned this season, but this time his response, with head bowed, was unusually subdued. "We kind of accepted our fate, which it's a bit hard to understand, because we haven't done that since I've been here. We've usually fought for everything, but when you don't, you pay a price, and we paid the price.
What must have been particularly galling for the 59-year-old was that, after a sticky start to his second season in charge at Spurs, they had appeared to be moving into a higher gear, reeling off five straight wins including an impressive 3-0 win at Manchester United last week.With Spurs having slumped to ninth in the table when they could have been sixth with a victory, many of Postecoglou's squad will now disappear on international duty with food for thought.
