Postecoglou says Tottenham lacking conviction as winless run goes on

After watching his Tottenham Hotspur side throw away yet more Premier League points from a winning position, manager Ange Postecoglous’s patience is beginning to wear a bit thin.

“We had some unbelievable chances — for us it’s another game, like the Aston Villa game and other games earlier this year,” Postecoglou told reporters. “I said during the week our attacking play has a long way to go. In general we have a long way to go, and tonight was more evidence of that.

“This isn’t about us playing good football, it’s about us winning games of football. I set teams up to win games and 1-0 at halftime was not a good performance from us.

“A good performance would have been 3-0 or 4-0 up. It’s just not having that conviction in front of goal to finish teams off. As simple as that. Sometimes we can disguise how we’re going by playing some nice stuff but like I said from day one, that’s not what I’m about. I want to win and that’s why I came to this football club and that’s the message.”
