"I'm Not Making Excuses But..." Darren Bent Makes SHOCK DEFENCE Of Ange Postecoglu & Tottenham

[@eldante4139]

Part of the problem is that all the injuries mean that the players available play EVERY match. No chance to be rotated or rested. Having an off day and will still need to play. Players will be run into the ground and have low energy. And then those players get injured and so it continues.

​@@craigrichardson731U try travelling the country then around Europe with daily training sessions and mix in a game at the highest level every few days. Let's see how tired U get and not to mention mentally fatigued. It sounds simple having a game every few days and nothing else but that's not the full story is it? Especially when the teams U face have a week off in-between games and can focus on training and tactics with enough time to recuperate. Of course it has an impact.

@@craigrichardson731 when was the last time you ran 12km every 3 to 4 days for months? This also doesn't exclude training, traveling, and mental prep for games.

[@mhtbfecsq1]

Vicious cycle. Hence IF players can do more to ensure they avoid getting injuries e.g by training better/smarter, conducting themselves well in their personal lives, playing with more courage/quality/cohesion to prevent causing excess recovery runs, then they should , for the sake of their teammates.

Bent speaking sense

[@ulfanfinneriksen4643]

Come on Andy Tottenham is totally depleted. Even I have to admit that.

2:12 Yes, but that 11 has been playing EVERY game.

?????

@@TPL13862theyre fatigued, if they were fresh, yeah they should be picking up results, but theyre playing every game and so theyre dropping points they wouldnt usually drop. Theyve only lost one game by more than one goal all season so with a bigger squad it would be so much better

[@TPL13862]

@ totally agree

[@ScottJay01]

Prior to injuries Tottenham were 6th, 4 points off 2nd. The injuries have derailed their season.

[@vassabatielos4740]

And the fact that it’s who you are mate

[@stephen2992]

Every team has lost players to injuries. Fulham, Bournemouth. We are 15th. It's completely unacceptable

[@mikezappa]

And still managed to throw away 2 goal leads with full squads. Try again

@@stephen2992Bournemouth and these other mid tier teams don’t play as many games as spurs nor have many of their players playing internationally like spurs (euros during the off season). They are tired from the high intensity system and lack of depth due to injury. switched on spurs fans can see it. It is what it is and I hope they don’t sack Ange

[@mattstoodley1649]

Not enough commentators factor in fatigue- players are not rotated and they are not robots...

[@komorebe2542]

Injuries doesn’t explain our Wild West style of play. I don’t want Ange sacked, but stop blaming things on injuries. Ange needs to adapt to the circs.

[@oscarwhitehouse9894]

We can field a decent starting 11 but then check the bench, same lineup starting 2-3 games a week just asking for trouble

[@HabitualLine-Stepper]

"It's the sun, mate..."

[@Armoris6247]

Sorry but what did Bent say that justified the headline? Neither of these two even mentioned the effect of not being able to rotate the squad has over a number of games. For Goldstein to say that THS are able to field a decent first 11 shows how little he knows about physical exhaustion. Total nonsense from these two unless they are talking about Man-u or Arsenal. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@coolguy9616]

Of course Arsenal fans want Ange to stay

[@peterelsey6238]

Just like we are happy with arteta at arsenal 😂

[@strollic5162]

@@Ajs_1988 Stupid comment. Not even remotely comparable. Arsenal have beaten Spurs 5/6 in the last three seasons, winning three times at your stadium. Arsenal are significantly better with Arteta as manager and will eventually win the league.

Ange is responsible for everything team related; he has no excuses for so many injuries that’s on him completely.

Bent jumps on bandwagons. A few days ago Spurs were in an identical position and Bent was full of criticism, no mention of their injury catastrophe whatsoever… More flip-floppy than a Havaiana.

Brilliant by Ange. Taking all the pressure off the players

He signed injury prone players and then moans that they are injured.

That's not true

[@Tnexsim69]

Ange doesn't sign players, the board does.

[@garytibbles9756]

Chelsea been ripped non-stop for 2 yrs. and nobody ever mentioned their unprecedented injuries at the time. Now Ange blaming injuries and you lot , crickets

[@cemjr44]

Since late November, Spurs have averaged 9 missing first team players. Players like Porro, Kulusevski and Gray (who don’t play low intensity positions) have had to play virtually every minute of every game since. We’ve also been playing 2-3x/week since then, so those available are out on their feet knackered. Their form has dropped during this period, as you might expect.

[@thesoldier798]

The injuries are on Ange and the medical team, if your going to train like your in game everyday then players will take fatigue injuries, and bringing your 2 centre half’s who arnt ready against Chelsea’s is 100% on Ange.

[@SpeedyHercules]

Wasn't an Injury problem when Tottenham spanked City.... never an Injury problem when they win. Its only once they lose, "well we have a full 11 out"

[@bryanallison3411]

Lol that game was over 2 months ago. 8 Spurs players that played in that match are currently injured. Of course it'd be a problem now and not then.

[@SpeedyHercules]

@bryanallison3411 both CB's and the first choice LB were out. Wasn't their strongest midfield. That's my point. You can't scream about all your injuries when your not best 11 spanked City

[@bryanallison3411]

@@SpeedyHercules what kind of point is that to make though? Everyone has injuries but there's a difference in 3 players being out 2 months ago and having a full 11 out now which is why they weren't calling it an injury crisis then but they are now. Seems logical to me 🤷🏽
