Postecoglou hinted at fatigue after throwing in Spurs’ win vs Wolves.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou was “disappointed” and partly blamed fatigue for Spurs blowing away the lead in the closing stages of Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Wolves.

The result means he has just three wins from 13 matches in all competitions. Tottenham With pressure mounting on Postecoglou as he refuses to change his style of play.

Hwang Hee-chan opened the scoring for Wolves on Sunday before Rodrigo Bentanker and Brennan Johnson put Tottenham back in front before half-time.

But Jurgen Strand-Larsson gave Wolves a point on the road with three minutes remaining in the second half as Tottenham’s poor form under Postecoglou continued.

Commenting on the result, Spurs boss Postecoglou said in a post-match press conference: “It’s a disappointing result. Obviously we went down by a goal but afterwards I thought we controlled the game. It wasn’t always easy to get the openings but we looked quite dangerous whenever we went forward.

“We scored two goals, we obviously missed a penalty and then in the second half, I thought we had some really big moments to close the game.

“They weren’t really creating much, I mean I think Fraser had a save to make with his feet, that was about it. You felt we needed that third goal and Obviously they score in the end and you’re left with a disappointing result, but it’s not for lack of effort.

“It’s clear, you know, the boys are quite tired, especially in that front third, we’re not as quick as we could be, which is understandable because we have a very small core group of players. And like I said, there’s no need to try and they’re trying to get results for us.

On Destiny Udogie’s injury, Postecoglou added: “Yes, I think it was the hamstring. Again, as I said, we are relying on the core group of players because we didn’t have the ability to rotate. At some point it will join us. Unfortunately it stuck with fate.”

When asked about Rado Dragosin playing, Postecoglou replied: “Well we had no choice, if Rado doesn’t play, I don’t know who does. He wasn’t 100%, but he did. Felt he could go through his ankle and again, I think the players are giving everything they can at the moment.

“Unfortunately we can’t give them what they really need and that’s some recovery and rest because we have a lot of players out, but Rado wanted to play today and you know when he’s not 100 percent, So we had no choice but to keep him out.

“There’s no choice, but it’s not a risk. I mean it’s a judgment call, you know. It’s not like it’s a muscle injury, it’s a knock on his ankle, but yeah, we make decisions. We have no choice unless I throw another 18- or 17-year-old out there, well, that’s the only fit players we have at the moment.
