Simon Jordan makes Ange Postecoglou 'playing' comment in Tottenham vs Chelsea aftermath
Simon Jordan thinks Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou was being «clever» in his game plan to take on Chelsea on Monday night, while also making a clear comparison when it came to him and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta. It comes after an intense London derby clash that held plenty of drama.
Spurs took the lead through Dejan Kulusevski, but a red card for Cristian Romero and a subsequent penalty scored by the visitors shook the game up. Another sending off for the home side sawDestiny Udogie given his marching orders and things looked far from favourable for them.
Despite that, Postecoglou opted for his team to play an extremely high line and hoped that be squeezing the pitch, it would be harder for the opposition to score. It somewhat worked as it took Chelsea 20 minutes before they scored to take the lead, but even then Spurs were still in the game.
A few chances came and went for the Lilywhites, but another two goals scored by Chelsea in stoppage time snuffed out any chance of a comeback. Despite the result, there was a standing ovation from the crowd and it seemed as though the spirited performance had still gained some respect.
The approach was on that former Crystal Palace owner Jordan was complimentary of on talkSPORT as he said: «I've never seen greater acts of self-harm as Tottenham did upon themselves by having complete control of the game for whatever reason seeming to cede it back to Chelsea and proceed to lose their minds.
