Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou expressed his desire to have a “joystick” to control his players like in a video game after they were held by West Ham.
Spurs interpreter Ange Postecoglou sometimes wishes he had a “joystick” to regulate his side like in a soccer video game when they tied against West Ham. The head coach of the London side was frustrated because his team had failed to capitalize on their approach and lock up a top-four position in the Premier League with a goalless draw at London Stadium and such rain.
Wrecking out, the goal from Brennan Johnson came in the first five minutes and took a lead. West Ham responded with an equalizer scored from a corner when Kurt Zouma made it.
Teams played as hard as they could, however, none of them were able to score a goal, thus the draw.
The English side did not play badly, but they were unlucky as they had dominated possession (68%), but hit the target only four times. Johnson found the back of the net after playing through Dierre Dossena; however, Destiny Udogie’s shot toward our keeper Lukasz Fabianski was straight to goal.
It seemed as though it was never going to happen. They just couldn’t see themselves scoring two goals which would be enough for the third spot that would just beat Aston Villa. On Wednesday, Aston Villa go head-to-head with reigning champions Manchester City at their home stadium, Etihad Stadium.
Postecoglou’fa’s team is still in the fifth spot, with a points difference from Villa, and the Australian coach brought up that theness in the attack was not proper when they were making decisions.
With more time than we likely realized, we can achieve much in our personal growth. When questioned about their lack of clarity, Postecoglou explained: “Really, mate, they’re just human beings”. It is so the game.
I want to be able to process them and position them where I want but in reality, I am not the one making that decision. I have to train them on how to combat the whole problem.
Sometimes, we end up having more hours on our hands than we think. Nevertheless, this should serve as an opportunity for us; it can either make you procrastinate or enlighten your life with inner peace and accomplishment.
Let’s talk about that beautiful goal we just scored, but sometimes the ball gets fired from the side, and we should have been there. It is stuff that we need to ponder and bring about some changes.
Having just scored in advance, Johnson – added to the starting lineup with another two changes from the previous Luton victory – tapped in form close range after Tag continued to hold onto the ball until Werner managed to find a way behind the West Ham defensive wall and deliver a low cross.
West Ham resurged like a flash, and the tactic of driving dead balls to the bottom of the Spurs goalkeeper, Gigi Vicario, was only effective when Zouma glided in the 19th minute from Bowen’s kind set-piece to score.
It was the Hammers, who got the the best chance to get a winning goal, but Antonio’s shot was not strong enough when he was in front of the goal after pushing past van de Ven and got a clear chance.
West Ham is placed seventh with Illiam Mamedi scoring in the first half and then missing a couple of chances to push their opponents toward the relegation zone.
Although he’s appeared to be the one to score, we’ve still struggled with corners and free kicks.
Spurs started the game powerfully to choose the chosen place. They scored already in the 5th minute, which was much earlier than in all previous matches when they have been scoring only second-half goals since February 3rd. But that was the only goal they scored after taking advantage of a consistent opening from set-piece deliveries that revealed a lapse in defending.
The Eldin we have known since last summer when he came from Empoli has been impressive. This time, Alisson was called into action by a couple of times in this match. Firstly, he dived to his left to intercept James Ward-Prowse’s free-kick and then he did it again for Antonio’s looming shot in the second half. Nevertheless, the fullback still needs to be brushed up on dealing with corners, a stock flaw in himself and his team.
The Hammers are unable to use the high level he brings as they fail to cover for their weakness which is their defense.
In that match with Newcastle, in which West Ham had won 2 goals before 15 minutes only, Moyes looked for better momentum to bounce back. Moyes who was somehow doubly pleased with his team despite the early goal conceded, was very positive. He was proud of them because they didn’t deserve low places.
According to the boys, the start was good. The two teams, however, remained formidable opponents, given that Newcastle was a strong side in the fight for placing in the Champions League. Moyes proposed a draw as a result that could be considered acceptable in the end.
The disarray this weekend had led to the defensive appearing organized again with which we take pleasure. We had corners and other scoring opportunities, so we are hopefully ready to play and this will be a solid base building up our confidence. T
he young Nigerian star Mohammed Kudus exerted an incredible forward effort to win the ball close to the Tottenham Hotspur and send a cross from the left corner for Bowen who didn’t make a great position on a good chance.
One moment later, it was the turn for the Hammers’ defense and the Spurs took a goal. Once again, it is a clear signal of the weaknesses of the team that through these months are disturbing its supporters.
Moyes’ team now has let through 55 goals from the European League this season – that is equal to the total amount from the last season – and they haven’t keeled their clean sheet in 11 matches.
On the other hand, there was some lacklustre performance in some places, as they developed a fight which was sparked by Bowen’s raised fist towards the away fans after feeding Zouma’s goal from a set pose.
The home team ended up having better chances, but couldn’t score the winning goal.
Conclusion
Postecoglou blamed his misfortune on his team’s goalless draw against West Ham and stated that he wished he had a joystick-like in a video game so that he could manage what his players do. The Spurs were strong in to-liter up the ball, but however, they missed their chances to score a goal. West Ham, however, had possible winning attempts just like Chelsea despite not being able to convert them. However, both teams demonstrated their resilience and they didn’t find another touching point.
In the process, he also talked about the emotional side of men’s games and admitted that players should be trained to react more economically on the field. Drawing game made Tottenham stand in the fifth rank with two points behind their opponent, Aston Villa.
Exposed the Bobby Rangers’ backline, yet the team exhibited a never die attitude. Moyes, meanwhile, has shown his support for individual team efforts but readily admits flaws in the defensive line. This confrontation between the two giants can be viewed as an allegory of the Premier League football at large – full of hardships and thrills.
