Dejan Kulusevski made an annoying verdict on Tottenham Hotspur’s bruises failed to mark the team’s results as “not good enough” on Monday night.
The Spurs former manager Nuno Espirito Santo defeated the Spurs 2-1 as Forest completed a rare double on Lily White, and Richarlison’s late strike could not overturn the goals of Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood.
Tottenham Hotspur made 22 shots, creating 2.14 expected goals, but stumbled upon their 18th Premier League defeat of the season, which put them in a weak spot in the 16th inning and closer to the relegation zone than the top four. It was a tough reality check after reaching the Europa League semi-final last Thursday.
Head coach Ange Postecoglou is expected to be abandoned at the end of the semester, and regardless of the success of the Europa League, Kulusevski is the latest hit to underperforming Lilywhites.
“[The top clubs have] “They know exactly what they are doing,” the Swedes said when asked about Tottenham's inconsistency. They brought in many players who were ready to compete in two games. They were prepared for this.
“This year, we can’t say we’re ready for it because we’ve been hurt a lot and have done a lot of things wrong since the beginning of the season, and we’re paying for it now.
“After a big night like Thursday, you always go down. That’s why teams that compete in more games are paying [a price]. We didn't handle it correctly, and our handling was not very good. Because after 16 minutes we admitted three goals and scored offside. Then it's hard to win football games. This is not good enough. ”
He added: “The manager said the first 15 minutes left us with huge matches and free kicks.
“[It’s] Not good enough. We must improve. We must improve from the cross. I know we defended good on Thursday, but we acknowledge too many crosses and everyone has to take responsibility and ask ourselves why we acknowledge so many crosses. ”
It's not that simple for the Spurs, who faced Liverpool on Sunday, which could be the match for the Reds to win the Premier League title, was crucial in its Europa League semi-finals with Norwegian underdog Bodo/Glimt in the crucial first leg of the Europa League semi-finals.
