Every word Ange Postecoglou said on Arsenal draw, Maddison and Johnson injuries, Udogie and Son
Here’s every word the Tottenham Hotspur boss said after the 2-2 draw at Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon
Did you observe today what you wanted from your guys in terms of bravery and football play?
Yes, without a doubt. extremely happy. They are a strong team, and it’s a difficult venue to play. Today, not much went our way. It’s not like everything was going our way since we gave up an unfortunate own goal and then a VAR penalty. Even though there were instances today when it was challenging to be the kind of team we want to be, the lads just displayed genuine character and resiliency. They simply continued trying, and for that, they deserve praise.
You had many young players out there and some on yellow cards, are you pleased with the maturity they showed?
Yeah, that’s all part of it. There’s a real will and desire to become the team we want to be, which includes making sure that you’re disciplined and you’re buying into the team ethos and we had a really young team out there today.
Vic, that’s his first derby, Destiny, Van de Ven, Pape Matar Sarr, Brendan, they’re all in their early twenties, Porro, even Kulusevski is only 23, so it was a young team but just super proud of the experienced players we did have in there.
Romero was outstanding, Bissouma has been brilliant all year and Maddison and Sonny was just on a different level, not just his goals although they were outstanding, but his work rate, his work ethic was incredible.
How are Brennan Johnson and James Maddison injury-wise?
Not sure with Brennan, it seems like he felt something, I think his hamstring. We’ll assess that. Madders and Sonny weren’t 100% going into the game but they got through it which suggests that it’s nothing serious.
