Tottenham’s disappointing defeat at the hands of Chelsea last night has left Jamie Carragher calling for major improvements in their performances. Manager Ange Postecoglou was visibly frustrated with the overall display, especially as the top four finish now seems unlikely with Aston Villa’s strong form.
Looking ahead to next season, Postecoglou will need to address the defensive issues within the squad. Despite having solid individual defenders like Van de Ven and Romero, the team has still struggled defensively. Carragher points out that it may not be a matter of individual performances, but rather the overall team setup and tactics that need adjustment.
Postecoglou has received praise for his work this season, but the dip in form shows there is still work to be done. Carragher emphasizes the need for a defensive overhaul, as Tottenham have conceded too many goals this season to be a top-four contender. The upcoming summer transfer window will provide an opportunity to strengthen the squad, but the real improvement needs to come on the training pitch with a focus on defensive tactics.
