it's seems Tottenham Hotspur is under curse for Trophy, it's funny but how can they even struggle with Fulham and still missed out for the penalty. It's a pity to see them out of the ELF cup so early. A top team as then, Fulham played and defender well against them yesterday, it was an interesting game to watch yesterday.
Nope, tottenham hotspur is not under any curse; its the reality. The truth that Tottenham Hotspur does not have the squad depth to challenge for top trophies and need to get more quality players. The coach rested quality talisman ahead of the premier league and europa league competitions coming up and they failed to live up to expectations. The likes of richardlison, perisici and le ceslo could only score a goal agaisnt a fulham b side.
Poor squad depth = poor performances in cup competitions and at the latter stages of the season.
Basically Tottenham have better quality than Fulham and moreover, Tottenham only failed in the penalty shootout. That way, the consideration is no longer about the depth of the squad, because if you judge the depth of the squad it is only limited to the normal game for 90 minutes and not in the penalty shootout. So, because Tottenham failed in the penalty shootout against Fulham which basically, Fulham's quality is below Tottenham. Then of course, it seems true that Tottenham's defeat can be said to be a curse too.
I think we should look into the matter. Coach Ange Postecoglou kept Son Heung-min, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski on the bench, replacing the B team for this match. He was too subjective when doing that. It wasn't until near the end of the second half that Postecoglou brought important players onto the field to score more goals, but it was ineffective. If Son Heung-min were to start, the result would not have resulted in a penalty shootout. Perhaps Postecoglou has no interest in this title.
