Spurs’ 4-0 loss to Newcastle United, according to Ange Postecoglou, “lacked a little bit of conviction” on the road.
Micky van de Ven had a particularly bad afternoon; after being caught off guard for the Magpies’ third goal, he was rinsed for the second goal a few minutes later, and then fell over for the first.
Manager of Spurs Postecoglou: the loss to Newcastle feels “a bit raw”
Spurs were devoid of almost everything, but Postecoglou has acknowledged that they lacked “conviction” in the face of a dominant Newcastle team.
Postecoglou said to BBC Match of the Day, “It’s a tough one, a bit raw at the moment.”
Newcastle deserves credit; I thought they played pretty well today. We never fully grasped the game and were unable to carry out any of our regular tasks. Give them credit, but you just have to accept them.
