Postecoglou Faces Challenges After Ipswich Defeat

Tottenham Hotspur's head coach Ange Postecoglou has taken responsibility for the team's inconsistency following a surprise 2-1 loss to Ipswich Town in the Premier League. The defeat marked Spurs' fifth loss in 11 league games, leaving them in 10th place, and Postecoglou has attributed their struggles to his approach. Despite securing advancement to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, Tottenham has faced mixed results, including a recent Europa League loss to Galatasaray. Postecoglou acknowledged that the team's habit of conceding early goals has become a concern, with Spurs falling behind in 13 of their 15 home games in 2024. Meanwhile, Son Heung-min, Tottenham's captain, has expressed surprise at the club's decision to trigger a one-year contract extension instead of negotiating a new long-term deal. Son has reiterated his commitment to the club, despite being unaware of any ongoing contract discussions.
