'Feel for him': Ian Wright says he actually feels really sorry for one Tottenham man at the moment

Yesterday at 12:15 PM

Tottenham Hotspur are going through a real rough patch at the moment.

Indeed, Spurs are struggling. Tottenham sit 11^th in the table, and they've failed to win any of their last three Premier League games.

There's a case to make that Ange Postecoglou should be sacked, but, the manager is still being backed by the board.

Daniel Levy is supporting Postecoglou, and now, Postecoglou has received more backing from a rather unlikely source.

Indeed, speaking on his podcast, Arsenal legend, Ian Wright, has spoken about Postecoglou's current plight, and he says that he actually feels very sorry for the Australian due to the injuries he's had to deal with.

Ian Wright feels sorry for Ange Postecoglou

Wright shared his sympathies with the Tottenham manager.

Wright may be an Arsenal legend, but he couldn't help but feel bad for the Spurs manager due to the injuries he's dealt with this season and the mentality of some of his players.

"And you kind of feel like that is the mentality of Tottenham at the moment, especially when you’re seeing as well, you know, the injuries have to, you have to say something for the injuries with Ange.

"You have to feel for him and the way he’s playing, the way he wants to play, and the injuries that are affecting his team is definitely causing a massive problem.

"But again, you have to say mentality. You can’t beat City or like that, beating teams and playing like that away from home. And then you come home and then people saying about losing to Ipswich, it’s not even a case of losing to Ipswich.

"It’s the mistakes that they made to lose the game against Chelsea as well, what you have to look at, the mentality of the players."

Tottenham injuries this season

Wright says that the mentality of Tottenham's players is all wrong, and that is something that Postecoglou needs to get a grip of.

However, one thing that Postecoglou can't directly control is the injuries his players have suffered this season, and that injury list is staggering.

Tottenham have very rarely been able to field their best XI this season, and that's why they sit 11^th in the table.

Of course, squad depth is a massive part of the modern game, but, even the most well-prepared manager in the Premier League wouldn't have anticipated this sort of injury crisis.

Spurs have had an absolute nightmare on the fitness front this season, and this is definitely something the north London club need to try to get a handle on.

Injuries could well cost Tottenham the chance to qualify for Europe next season.
