Postecoglou Criticizes Werner as Tottenham Grapples With Injury Crisis

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou defends his comments on Timo Werner's performance, highlighting the team's struggles with injuries and poor form.

  • Ange Postecoglou labeled Timo Werner's performance in Tottenham's 1-1 Europa League draw at Rangers as 'not acceptable,' substituting him at halftime.
  • Postecoglou clarified that his remarks were an 'assessment,' not criticism, and emphasized the need for improved performances from senior players like Werner.
  • Tottenham faces a severe injury crisis, with nine players unavailable for Sunday's Premier League match against Southampton, leaving Postecoglou with limited squad options.
  • Despite Werner's struggles, including just one goal in 19 appearances this season, Postecoglou confirmed that Werner will continue to feature due to the team's depleted roster.
  • Tottenham has won only one of their last eight matches across all competitions, with Postecoglou calling for collective determination to navigate this challenging period.
