Postecoglou: We controlled the game but missed too many chances in front of goal

In the first round of the Premier League, Porro opened the scoring, Vardy equalized, and eventually Tottenham drew 1-1 away to Leicester City. After the match, Tottenham manager Postecoglou spoke to the media.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Postecoglou said: “It was a disappointing night for us. We were excellent in the first half, we controlled the game but missed chances in front of goal, and the same in the second half. We started well, but once Leicester scored the atmosphere went up and we lost our composure. That’s a problem we had last year and we need to keep working on that and be more decisive in front of goal. Sometimes we make bad decisions. When we’re so dominant, we need to kill the game off earlier.”

“We were going all out to score but we couldn’t. We were very dominant on the pitch, but if you don’t score it’s all in vain. We need to be more clinical in front of goal. To miss those chances tonight was disappointing. We just lacked that final bit of efficiency.”

“The new signings all did okay. It wasn’t about how we played or the effort. To win games you have to be more clinical in front of goal. If you don’t do that, you’re not going to get what you deserve. That’s my responsibility, that’s why you’re the manager.”
