Sports broadcaster 'Sky Sports' unveiled Tottenham's major defensive statistics since December on its official SNS on the 23rd (Korea time).
Tottenham's defensive performance revealed was terrible.
Tottenham has recorded the most goals scored (12 goals in 5 games) in 20 EPL teams since December. The equivalent is 2.4 runs per game. During the period, they drew 1-1 with Fulham, losing to Bournemouth (0–1), Chelsea (3–4) and Liverpool (3–6). Only a scoreless win over Southampton (5-0). Christmas was the worst in 17 games, with only 23 points.
Tottenham allowed the most big chances (25), shots (85) and effective shots (37), and the expected number of goals (13.5 goals) was also 20th. This means that the defense was in a de facto automatic door state, providing the opponent with a lot of space and a comfortable environment to shoot.

On the other hand, bold attack tactics also have fatal weaknesses like both sides of a coin. They say they are vulnerable to teams that are good at counterattacks. If all the main four-backs are equipped, they will endure with their defensive personal skills, but at the moment when Christian Romero, Mickey van der Penn, and main goalkeeper Guglielo Vicario were injured one after another, backup resources are helplessly penetrated by attacks from Chelsea and Liverpool-class powerhouses.
Coach Postecoglou insists on Plan A even though the team is closer to the relegation zone than the championship. After a crushing defeat against Liverpool, I will not answer such a question. For the past 18 months, I have continued to answer the same questions here. I really needed patience. If people want to change my approach, it won't. We do so for good reason. I think it will help the team succeed, so doing so..." he fumed.
He said "That's all. I will just focus on making Tottenham the team we want. We have to accept that there will be difficulties along the way."
Postecoglou is running 3/1 in a hard race set by betting company `William Hill' on the 23rd, followed by West Ham coach Julen Lopetegui (6/4). As time goes by, the ranking is getting higher. Will Son Heung-min work with Tottenham manager for the sixth time before the end of this season?
