Tottenham’s season continues to go from bad to worse with every passing matchday as the Lilywhites lost their fourth straight Premier League match on Sunday against struggling Leicester.
Spurs lost their first-half lead within five minutes of the second half with Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss scoring kist four minutes apart.
Postecoglou has now opened up on Spurs’ abysmal form and claimed that the loss ‘hurts a lot’.
Hurt
Speaking to Premier League Productions, Postecoglou said: “Yeah, it hurts. It hurts a lot.
“The players gave everything again.
“We are going to look at a lot of things, but in terms of effort I can’t ask anymore of this group, things just didn’t go our way today.
“We created some good opportunities and unfortunately things just didn’t drop for us because not because the players weren’t trying and that’s the main thing.
“The players are giving everything they can.
“That is all we can ask for as a football club and me as a manager.
“They are trying their hardest and that is all anyone can ask for.
“You can analyse the goals, they were disappointing goals for us to concede, but I thought we had enough chances in the game to come out on top.”
Abysmal Form
On Tottenham’s abysmal form, Postecoglou added: “When you’re in this situation, they are trying as hard as they can and sometimes that doesn’t give you he clarity in decision making.
“You can ask is for people to do as much as they can and from my perspective I see a group of players that are giving as much as they can.
“I know it will turn.
“We’ll get some players back, we were short again today but in the next couple of weeks there’s some really important players coming back that I know will help this group.
“We’ve not hit a ceiling.
“We’ve been going like this for two months.
“They put in an enormous performance on Thursday to make sure we’re OK in Europe and they had to back it up today but there were probably at least two or three players that weren’t at 100%.”
