🚨Ange Postecoglou when asked why recent home games have had slow starts:
🗣️”That's probably been the last couple of home games we haven't, in the beginning of the year we did, we're not doing anything different.”
🗣️”Sometimes it's the mindset going into games, sometimes it's the opposition, sometimes it's just the context of the football game.”
🗣️Certainly for us to kind of dominate games like we want to, it does mean we need to start aggressively, and try and put the opposition on the back foot. We haven't really done that last two or three games. Before that we were doing that, and that gave us a foothold in games that we're not getting at the moment.”
🗣️”We are not a team that's got individuals in it that can win games of football on their own, we don't have those players, we're not that kind of team.
🗣️”We conceded two or three good chances on the counter-attack, I think one of them was offside. Against Wolves that's going to happen. A lot of that is just sort of game state. Like I say, if you get a foothold in the game and put them under pressure that limits the opportunities that they have the other way.”
🗣️”Ultimately when you're not successful everything looks like it's garbage . That's not the way I look at football, the same way I didn't think we were super great leading into this game. We're still trying to build something as I keep saying, lay some foundations.”
🗣️”I think a lot of our defensive work this season has been outstanding to be honest considering the players we have in there, the experience they have. It has been one of our strengths and we will keep trying to improve in all areas
🗣️“We will work hard, we've got two weeks to prepare for our next game and there's no point feeling sorry for ourselves. You take the blows and you've got to move on irrespective of what's happened in the past. You've got to make sure you're ready for the next game.”
🗣️“We've got two weeks, it's a different kind of build-up for us but we'll use these two weeks to make sure we're ready for the next game at home.”
