Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou insisted his belief in the project remains unwavering. Sunday’s crushing defeat at EvertonBut admitted new signings are vital to turning things around.
A shocking first-half performance looked like the final nail in Postecoglou’s coffin Spurs 3-0 down against the relegation-threatened Toffees, only for a spirited second half to leave Postecoglou feeling hopeful.
“If you look at the situation we’re in, it will eventually dissipate,” Postecoglou said Sky Sports After the game. “I certainly hope and believe that it will happen.
“We will give ourselves a chance to get consistency in performances and results. I certainly haven’t lost faith or determination to turn it around and the players showed in the second half that they haven’t either.”
However, Postecoglou acknowledged his side’s ongoing battle with injuries – the striker Dominic Solanke was the latest player to be sidelined with a knee injury – Spurs must be forced to act before the transfer window closes.
“We are very stretched,” he said. “We literally had 11 players fit enough to start the game. We weren’t in full control of our organization and Everton capitalized on that and we paid the price. Radu (Dragusin) had to come out because of a deep cut and the restructuring.
“There will be urgency (in the transfer market) but I don’t need to say that, everyone can see that. I have no problem with how the club is going about it, they are working hard and trying to find solutions. These players need help, and hopefully in the next ten days we’ll find a solution. It’s really difficult, we’re not the only ones at the club trying.
