Tottenham Hotspur have suffered their sixth defeat in the Premier League this season.
Ange Postecoglou promised a trophy at Spurs this campaign, and that got many fans excited. However, things have not gone to plan at all, especially in the Premier League.
Tottenham are 10th in the Premier League table after 14 games. They were nowhere near good enough in their 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth. The Cherries could’ve easily won the game 4-0.
Jamie O’Hara was absolutely furious with how Tottenham fared on Thursday night.
Jamie O’Hara slams one thing Ange Postecoglou makes his Tottenham players do
Tottenham should be in a much better position than they are right now.
Spurs have lost just as many games as they have won in the Premier League this season. They are closer in the table to 19th-place Wolves than they are to league leaders Liverpool.
Postecoglou’s system makes games really good to watch, but there are a few very obvious flaws that teams continue to take advantage of.
One is their defensive frailties in set-pieces – Tottenham conceded from a corner yet again on Thursday night and that is simply not good enough.
The other thing that has caused problems for Spurs is playing out from the back – especially a straight ball from the goalkeeper to a midfielder running towards his own goal.
Postecoglou continues to make his players do that despite the risks, and that has annoyed O’Hara, so much so that he wants football to ban that pass.
He said on talkSPORT: “I’m sorry, I know everyone loves Ange in terms of attacking football… I’m getting bored of watching this.
“Set pieces, playing out from the back should be banned. The straight ball playing out from the back should be banned in football. It is never on and Spurs do it every game.
“We are painful to watch.”

Postecoglou could get sacked at Tottenham
Tottenham need to turn things around as soon as possible.
The North Londoners have won just one of their last six games in all competitions, and that has led to Postecoglou getting involved in a heated exchange with Spurs fans at the away end at Bournemouth.
That is never a good sign, and O’Hara believes Daniel Levy will sack Postecoglou if Spurs’ position in the Premier League table does not improve by Christmas.
Tottenham’s next three games in the Premier League are against Chelsea, Southampton and Liverpool. Two of those three games will be massive tests for Postecoglou and his men.
The Australian will come under even more pressure if his side don’t get decent results in those games.
