Reasons Postecoglou was fuming at Tottenham dud who lost the ball 4 times in 13 minutes

Tottenham delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over a lackluster Manchester United at Old Trafford, marking their second consecutive Premier League win.

Despite the triumph, Spurs’ manager Ange Postecoglou expressed visible frustration from the touchline, particularly over some moments of his team’s performance.

Tottenham’s dominance against United was evident from the start, setting the tone early in the match.

Micky van de Ven initiated the first goal with a brilliant run that led to Brennan Johnson tapping the ball in unmarked within just three minutes.

Spurs continued to create opportunities, and had it not been for Manchester United’s goalkeeper, Andre Onana, making a crucial save from a James Maddison attempt, the scoreline could have been even worse for the home side before halftime.

Manchester United struggled to respond, and their situation worsened after Bruno Fernandes was sent off, diminishing any remaining fight in the team.

Tottenham capitalized on this advantage, adding two more goals in the second half. Dejan Kulusevski and record signing Dominic Solanke both found the back of the net, sealing the win for the North London side.

The stats reflected Tottenham’s complete control of the game:

Tottenham recorded the highest expected goals tally in the Premier League this season, underscoring their offensive firepower.

Yet, Postecoglou’s high standards meant he was not entirely satisfied, and his frustration surfaced during the match.

One particular target of his frustration was young midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who came on as a substitute and assisted in setting up Tottenham’s third goal.

Despite this contribution, Bergvall’s performance in the remaining minutes fell short of expectations. He lost possession four times during his brief 13-minute appearance, which drew Postecoglou’s ire.

Bergvall, who joined Tottenham in the summer with a long-term deal, is regarded as a promising talent, earning a weekly salary of £7,500.

However, his decision-making in critical moments raised concerns. Postecoglou was seen visibly upset when Bergvall opted for a long-range shot instead of passing to an unmarked Mikey Moore.

Later, Bergvall attempted a risky pass to Moore again, ignoring two open teammates on the right side. These errors led to a visible reaction from the Spurs manager, who made sure to express his displeasure.

This isn’t the first time Bergvall has faced criticism. On his debut against Leicester City, Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was also seen scolding the young Swede for a misstep.

However, with a strong team result this time, the overall performance overshadowed Bergvall’s mistakes.

Nonetheless, his development remains a work in progress, and Postecoglou will undoubtedly expect more from the promising midfielder in future matches.

In the end, Tottenham’s victory over Manchester United sent a clear message to their Premier League rivals. Despite areas for improvement, Postecoglou’s side looks well-equipped to challenge for the top spots this season.
