    Tottenham foundations are really fragile – Postecoglou

    Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has not been impressed by his team in recent weeks.

    The Australian felt they did not give a good enough account of themselves on Tuesday night.

    Spurs were beaten 2-0 at home by Manchester City, which means they will finish fifth in the league this term.

    “The foundations are really fragile,” the Australian said to reporters of the club post-game.

    “The last 48 hours have shown me that.

    “It’s inside the club, outside the club. Outside, inside, everywhere. It’s been an interesting exercise. It’s just my observations, mate.”

    On the atmosphere being flat, as many fans did not want the team to win to help Arsenal’s Premier League title bid, he added: “Of course it does. It is what it is. I can’t dictate what people do.

    “They’re allowed to express themselves any way they want. But yeah, when we’ve got late winners in games it’s because the crowd’s helped us.”

    EPL: We are relying on Tottenham to do us a favour – Arteta

    Mikel Arteta the manager of Arsenal has revealed that the entire team is relying on Tottenham Hotspurs to do them a favour against Manchester City on Tuesday.

    Arteta has noted that  he would be keenly watching Tuesday’s Tottenham versus Manchester City to see what comes out of it.

    Arteta was speaking after a 1-0 victory at Manchester United on Sunday.

    The Gunners scored the only goal of the match in the first half through Leandro Trossard.

    However, they had to keep their defensive shape for most of the game, with the hosts fighting to equalise.

    “You don’t have margins for error; these are big teams that make things difficult against you and you have the will to win. That’s emotional. Today we wanted to open the door; last day in front of our people, our families will be there; let’s create the most beautiful day together,” Arteta said about the game.

    When asked if he has Tottenham pyjamas, he replied: “We will certainly be watching the game. We watch all the games. We need the result. It’s football; there are always possibilities.”

    City’s outstanding game will be played against Tottenham on Tuesday May, 14 at 20:00GMT

    This season’s premiership will end on Sunday May19 with all games played across all centers at the same time.

    EPL: We’ll not spare Manchester City – Tottenham manager, Postecoglou boasts

    Tottenham Hotspur manager, Ange Postecoglou has  again insisted that his team will not spare Manchester City when both teams meet on Tuesday in the English Premier League.

    Tottenham Hotspurs need a win to revive their title hopes and deny City the Premier League title.

    Pep Guardiola’s men are two wins away from a record fourth successive Premier League title following a 4-0 win at Fulham on Saturday afternoon.

    The Gunners will return to the top of the table if they beat Manchester United on Sunday, but the title remains in City’s hands as they have a game in hand – against Tottenham on Tuesday night – before the final day of the season.

    But Postecoglou said: “They’re outstanding, them and Arsenal are the benchmark [in the Premier League] right now, they’re 20-odd points ahead of us so we’ve got some ground to make up.

    “But it’s at our place, it’s 95 minutes of football and we’re going to have a crack.”

    EPL: Tottenham shake-off losing streak, Burnley confirmed relegated

    Burnley football Club will play its football next season at the lower division of English football the Championship after losing  2-1 to Tottenham Hotspurs.

    A win  for the Clarets would have raised some levels of hope but they lost to the Whites on Saturday evening.

    The Clarets, who knew a draw or defeat meant they would no longer be able to catch fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, took the lead when Jacob Bruun Larsen slid in a 25th-minute opener.

    The joy among the travelling fans was tempered seven minutes later when Pedro Porro hammered in an equalizer.

    After dominating the second half without finding a way through, Spurs were finally rewarded when defender Micky van de Ven burst forward and expertly slotted the winner into the bottom corner.

    The draw would have done few favours for fifth-placed Tottenham, who needed a win to keep the pressure on Aston Villa in the race for the Champions League.

    Burnley join already relegated Sheffield United to go down to the Championship.

    Both teams only gained promotion last season.

    EPL: Tottenham poised on beating City to hand advantage to Arsenal

    Ange Postecoglou, the Tottenham Hotspur manager, has noted that his side will shake off the four losing streak and try to beat highly rated Manchester City, even though it could hand the Premier League title to rivals, Arsenal.

    Spurs will play its outstanding game against City on Tuesday and only a win or draw will dent the title aspirations of City.

    A win for Postecoglou’s men could effectively hand the Gunners a first league title since 2004.

    But Postecoglou is adamant his team won’t roll over against City.

    “I’m here fighting tooth and nail every single day for everything I can get for this football club because that’s my responsibility.

    “I would not give up on any cause even the most lost of causes because then I’d be abstaining from my responsibilities.

    “I want us to finish the season strong. I want us to try and win three games of football and see where that takes us,” he told reporters.

    Ange Postecoglou, the coach of Tottenham Hotspur, has stated reasons his team lost to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.

    “It wasn’t a great night. We didn’t have the mindset that I expect us to have, so that’s on me, I’ve got to take responsibility for that.

    “Ultimately I’m the one that’s putting them out there and preparing them for it.

    “We were so far off it I’ve got to look at myself and see how I’m preparing this team for it,” Postecoglou told the media.
