Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou rues ‘unacceptable’ Forest loss

LONDON, ENGLAND - APRIL 21: Ange Postecoglou manager / head coach of Tottenham Hotspur with Pedro Porro and Mathys Tel after the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur FC and Nottingham Forest FC at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 21, 2025 in London, England. The rare smile Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou wore four days ago in Frankfurt was replaced by the more familiar frown as a 2-1 home defeat to Nottingham Forest made it 18 Premier League losses for the London club this season. Tottenham found themselves 2-0 down after 16 minutes and although they dominated the game thereafter and got a late lifeline through Richarlison, it proved another tale of woe in a season that could become Tottenham's worst in terms of points gained since they managed only 44 in 1997-98...

Less than 72 hours after losing the Carabao Cup semi-final to Liverpool, a depleted Spurs went down to goals from Jacob Ramsey and Morgan Rogers at Villa Park with Mathys Tel bagging a late consolation.

Spurs expected team vs Qarabag – Mikey Moore decision amid Postecoglou changes

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou must decide how many changes he makes to his team to face Qarabag in the Europa League Ange Postecoglou has to balance his changes for Tottenham's Europa League clash against Qarabag on Thursday evening. The Spurs boss made eight changes to his starting XI for the Carabao Cup tie against Coventry and the disjointed performance almost cost the north London side their place in the fourth round. With that in mind, Postecoglou will be wary of making as many alterations for the visit of the Azerbaijani side to N17 even though it is only the first of eight matches at this stage in the large new league format. Postecoglou could hand minutes to Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr and he might also decide to hand 17-year-old Mikey Moore hi...
