Dejan Kulusevski says he found something weird during Tottenham’s game vs Fulham last night
The second half is typically a strength for Ange Postecoglou’s team, Kulusevski acknowledged while discussing the game with The Standard.
The Tottenham manager felt it was necessary to criticize his team because of the team’s late ball retention, which infuriated him.
Kulusevski thought back on it and stated, “We felt it, of course, when we were playing.
“We usually play our best in the second half, so it was a little odd, but we just need to bounce back stronger and keep the ball better,” said the team.
“In attack, we lost too many easy balls, it can happen. We are humans so we have to come away from that and think of Friday.”
Kulusevski did, of course, have a little bit of a rough night for Tottenham in terms of his decision-making against Fulham.
Although the Swedish winger was doing an excellent job, he frequently seemed to make the wrong decision in front of goal.
However, given the fairly muted role he’s played this year, the 23-year-old isn’t exactly deserving of any criticism.
Kulusevski admitted that Tottenham did tail off against Fulham
Guglielmo Vicario is another player who, arguably, hasn’t received all the praise he merits so far.
The goalie was essential in preventing Tottenham from suffering the consequences of their focuslapses against Fulham.
Ange Postecoglou did feel the need to give his “outstanding” goalie some credit.
At this point, it appears crucial for Spurs that when one element of their teams falters, another one rises up.
Following Yves Bissouma’s dismissal at Luton, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven’s back guard defense took center stage.
Vicario’s chance to establish his value came last night.
While Kulusevski has a point in being a little concerned about Tottenham’s performance against Fulham in the second half, Ange is unlikely to allow this team fall short.
