'I will move on': Postecoglou insists Tottenham's league season is not over | Tottenham Hotspur

Ange Postecoglou is not ready to write off Tottenham's Premier League campaign just yet despite dropping further points on Sunday.

Spurs were held back 2-2 draw at home against Wolves after they conceded the goal with three minutes remaining on another difficult afternoon that saw Destiny Udogie become the latest player to limp off.

With Rodrigo Bentancur also booked late and set to serve a one-match ban when Newcastle visit on Saturday, Tottenham could be without 10 players. However, Postecoglou will not give up hope of climbing the table amid some crucial cup matches in January.

“It's still pretty tight. I just feel that at some point we will have a relatively healthy team and when we do, we will be able to perform at a high level consistently,” Postecoglou insisted. “We have already shown this year that we can beat anyone. There is a possibility that you can go for a run, but for the moment that is secondary to the first part. I can see how hard they are trying and if we had been at our best we would have scored that third goal and maybe a fourth.

“I mean, at times we were inches away from getting the goal we needed and I think we're just missing a little bit of that dynamic movement that we need. “A lot of these guys are finding some form of energy to keep trying, but you know we're certainly not as smart as we could be.”

Given his players' efforts during a hectic December, Postecoglou gave the team time off on Monday and Tuesday ahead of this weekend's game against Newcastle, but again suggested they need reinforcements in the January transfer window.

Postecoglou added: “Yes, it was always planned. We knew this is the first week where we don't have a midweek game, so I think the whole group probably needs a couple of days to get away from everything and recover.

“It's been pretty intense for a really small core group of players, particularly over the last four or five weeks, and I think it will be good for them to have a couple of days for themselves, with their families, and give them a chance to recover both mentally. as physically.

“I will continue forward. We have work to do and try to get help for these players. Our role is to try to give them everything we can, the support we can to perform at their best.”
