Ange Postecoglou says “there is never any noise” around Tottenham when refereeing decisions go against them.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Australian head coach was speaking after Fulham substitutes Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon scored to help the hosts beat Spurs 2-0 at Craven Cottage on Sunday.<\/p>\n

When asked about a contentious 85th-minute challenge from Fulham’s Calvin Bassey on Lucas Bergvall inside the penalty area, Postecoglou said: “I’ll leave that to the officials, but I will say that we don’t carry on like a lot of other clubs and I think that hurts us for sure.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think there’s ever any noise around us and decisions. We get one slightly in our favour and there’s national headlines for a week.”<\/p>\n

He was seemingly referring to a decision in Bergvall’s favour against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg, when the midfielder avoided a second yellow card.<\/p>\n

“Things go against us and there’s not even a sentence on it,” Postecoglou added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Postecoglou brought off the struggling Yves Bissouma and Brennan Johnson at half-time against Fulham and sent on Bergvall and Son Heung-min.<\/p>\n

The Spurs boss confirmed Bissouma was taken off due to his poor performance, saying: “I just feel Biss can sometimes let the game drift by him.<\/p>\n

“He needs to be a little bit more dominant in the way he gets on the ball. At times I think the game gets away from him and today we needed more in that position.<\/p>\n

“I needed him to play though, because he hasn’t played a lot. At the same time you’ve got to perform. It’s fair to say, Biss and a few others are probably lacking a bit of confidence.<\/p>\n

“That’s affecting him, but we’re at the point of the season now where we need guys to get out there and put those things to one side and perform.”<\/p>\n

Postecoglou added: “It’s not about getting through to him or a lack of effort.<\/p>\n

“I just think with players sometimes they go through these spells and he needs to find a way to break through that and we need to find a way to get that out of him.”<\/p>\n

It is becoming implausible for 13th-placed Spurs to qualify for Europe through the Premier League after taking just 10 points from their past 10 games.<\/p>\n

However, Spurs would qualify for the Champions League if they were to win the Europa League, and they moved a step nearer that goal by knocking out AZ Alkmaar on Thursday to reach the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

Postecoglou, who has faced heavy criticism for this season’s domestic failings, is clear that Spurs must not throw away their last remaining nine Premier League matches.<\/p>\n

“I said to the players I’m not going to allow anyone to think about Europa and nothing else,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We can’t let this league season go the way it has. We have lost way too many games. Unacceptable.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
