Tottenham Hotspur suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to AZ Alkmaar, leaving their Europa League aspirations in jeopardy. Manager Ange Postecoglou expressed frustration with his team's performance, stating they were 'nowhere near the level' needed for success. Despite returning key players like Cristian Romero, the team struggled to find momentum, particularly in an aggressive approach on both offense and defense. Captain Heung-Min Son recognized the defeat as a crucial wake-up call. Postecoglou emphasized the need for analysis to address the team’s lack of readiness and mindset for the away match.
"It wasn't great from us tonight. Pretty much all facets of the game. We didn't really get to grips with any part of the game."
"It is always tough and we obviously conceded the goal, which was a disappointing set of events, but even after that we didn't really settle down into the game at all."
