In the wake of Tottenham's 3-1 victory over Southampton, manager Ange Postecoglou decried a "negative agenda" against his club, as even good results are perceived from a "glass half-empty" perspective. Postecoglou's team, currently in 14th place after 31 games in the Premier League, faces Eintracht Frankfurt in their Europa League quarter-final match on Thursday. With the competition offering Tottenham their final opportunity for silverware this season, Postecoglou aims to continue his pattern of winning trophies in his second year at a club.
Despite the positive outcome against Southampton, the focus post-match centered on on-loan Bayern Munich striker Mathys Tel's stoppage-time penalty over Brennan Johnson's chance to complete a hat-trick. Postecoglou believes this negativity, rooted in Tottenham's lack of recent success, is unwarranted. He joined Tottenham in June 2023, having led Celtic to two consecutive league titles and a domestic treble in the 2022-23 season.
Despite ending the club's trophy drought, Postecoglou acknowledged that even a Europa League win may not be enough to convince some critics of his suitability as Tottenham manager beyond this season. He urged his team to focus on the opportunity to make an impact rather than attempting to appease skeptics.
