Ange Postecoglou admitted he must be held responsible for Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s disappointing 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Thursday evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Spurs had their moments but were largely kept at arm\u2019s length by Chelsea, who\u00a0won the game\u00a0thanks to goals from Trevoh Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson, and Postecoglou was even caught on camera screaming at his players to \u201cstop passing f**king backwards\u201d as they fell to their third consecutive defeat.<\/p>\n
After the match, Postecoglou did not shy away from the gravity of the situation and confessed he deserves to take the blame for Spurs\u2019 slump.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t play anywhere near the sort of football and didn\u2019t have the mindset that I expect us to have,\u201d said Postecoglou.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s on me and I\u2019ve got to take responsibility for that ultimately as I\u2019m the one who is putting them out there and preparing them for it. We were so far off it. I\u2019ve got to look at myself and see how I\u2019m preparing this team for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Postecoglou went on to highlight several areas in which\u00a0Spurs\u00a0fell short at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe lacked a real sort of conviction and positive mindset in our football,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t really have any fluency, any sort of aggression with and without the ball. It\u2019s a bit unlike us because if nothing else we\u2019ve always been competitive, especially in the first half it was missing today.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Spurs boss added: \u201cMy responsibility is preparing the team every game to make sure we reach certain levels. We didn\u2019t do it today so that lies at my feet and I\u2019ve got to fix that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aston Villa have a seven-point advantage over Spurs in the race for Champions League qualification, and know that five points from their final three games will likely be enough to seal fourth place. Postecoglou\u2019s side have a game in hand, but currently have an inferior goal difference of eight and are on a run of three straight defeats.<\/p>\n
