Ange simply has to miss out on the Spurs star after a 4/10 performance

Tottenham drew 2-2 with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon, undoubtedly putting more pressure on the boss Andze Postecoglou.

Goals from Brennan Johnson and Rodrigo Bentancur were not enough for Spurs in North London after Jorgen Strand Larsen equalized for the visitors.

The point leaves Postecoglou’s side 11th in the standings Premier League table at the halfway stage of the campaign, 11 points adrift of the Champions League places, with the dream fading fast each week.

The draw leaves Spurs chasing their first win in three games, conceding two and conceding nine goals along the way, with defensive injuries once again wreaking havoc.

However, such issues should not excuse the performance levels of many players who once again failed to deliver at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs’ disappointing players against Wolves

Striker Dominic Solanke has often been the man to deliver the goods in the final third this season after his club-record transfer fee of £65m from Bournemouth in the summer.

The Englishman has scored six goals in the Premier League in 2024/25 but was unable to add to his tally this afternoon, looking wasteful in possession throughout the tie.

Just fill in one of his four dribble attempts in North London, winning just six of his 16 duels and losing possession 11 times in the process.

As for the goalkeeper Fraser Forsterhe was once again unable to draw any trees as he covered the injured Guglielmo Vicario between the sticks.

The 36-year-old made his tenth appearance of the season earlier today but failed to add to his clean sheet. granting two or more for the fifth time.

He was beaten by a stunning strike from Hwang Hee-chan for the first but could certainly have done more to keep out the visitors’ leveler as he was beaten too easily at his near post.

However, another Spurs player failed once again despite the continued belief shown by Postecoglou, with the Aussies needing to take action ahead of their next league clash next weekend.

The Spurs player who was as bad as Forster against Wolves

Spurs captain Heung-min Son he’s been the club’s wreaker in attacking areas for so long, but in recent months he’s struggled to produce the goods on a consistent basis in 2024/25.

The South Korean striker has managed to score only five goals in the league to date, with another one of his performances to forget in North London this afternoon.

He featured for just 64 minutes before being replaced by Timo Werner, but his withdrawal was understandable given his lack of impact during his time on the pitch.

The 32-year-old only 27 touches were registered of the ball, completing just 15 passes – lost possession six times and proved wasteful throughout the draw with the relegation-threatened side.

Son also missed the mark in the first half, with Postecoglou’s side no doubt still in contention for all three points if they can find the net.

He also failed to complete any of the three crosses he attempted, unable to dribble off the opposition, looking a shadow of his former self, with his days at the top level undoubtedly numbered due to his recent displays.

As a result of his sad appearance, he was given one miserable 4/10 match rating by Football London’s Alasdair Gold – highlighting how disappointing he was once again.

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series features tactical discussion from around the world game.

Given his failure once again this afternoon, Ange simply needs to drop him from the starting line-up for the next meeting with Newcastle United next weekend.

It’s sad to see a fans’ favorite go down, given what he’s done for the club during his decade in North London, but ultimately, the Australian must be brutal to save his job and lead the Lilywhites to top of the table.
