Ange Postecoglou complained about the Premier League’s string section after watching Tottenham play second fiddle to Fulham.
“I’ve seen so much violin playing over one centre-back out but we’re just supposed to get on with it,” grumbled Postecoglou, leaving his audience to wonder if he was hinting at Manchester City without Ruben Dias or Liverpool without Ibrahima Konate.
“There aren’t too many teams playing with both centre backs out. But I love the character they’re showing. I love the fact they’re not seeking excuses or wanting me to make allowances, and I need to acknowledge the massive effort all these guys are putting in.
