"Tottenham is a disgrace. It's a bunch of fools."
Gabriel Agbonlaher, a soccer critic who was once a big fan of Son Heung-min as a striker for Aston Villa, poured out criticism immediately after Tottenham's defeat against Nottingham.
Tottenham, where Captain Son Heung-min was absent due to an injury in the foot, lost 1-2 to Nottingham in the 33rd round of the English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 22nd (Korea time). The defense line was shaken, giving back-to-back goals to Nottingham Elliott Anderson and Chris Wood in the 5th minute of the first half and Hishalisson scored a comeback in the 42nd minute of the second half, but it was too late.

With the defeat, Tottenham, which was once in the top four, fell to 16th place out of the 20 teams in the first division with 18 league losses, while Nottingham, which was in the middle and lower ranks, jumped to third place (60 points) with 18 league wins. Immediately after Tottenham's defeat, Agbonlaher expressed strong frustration and disappointment. On his SNS account, he wrote, "'Tottenham is a disgrace. There's only a bunch of fools (SPURS ARE A DISGRACE!!! Bunch of Idios)' expressed anger in one line.
Agbonlaher, who once gave enthusiastic praise to Son Heung-min, has recently continued to criticize Tottenham and Son Heung-min. He saw the atmosphere around the team as "exhausted" and lamented that he had lost his affection for the club. "I can't see the identity of the team, I can't see the style of play. I don't understand what you're trying to do." On Son Heung-min "Look at Son Heung-min. Didn't Son Heung-min have the best performance at Tottenham? He boasted the best speed in his heyday. But from what I've watched over the past season and a half, it's slowed down. He turns 33 in July. Is it time for Tottenham to let him go?" he said, questioning his performance. Just as it's time for The Bruyne to leave Manchester City, Son Heung-min is in a similar situation.
Agbonlaher thinks Tottenham showed good performance early in the season, but their performance has declined sharply as other Premier League managers quickly grasp it. He criticized the club's leadership and questioned whether manager Angie Postecoglou was leading Tottenham in the right direction.
Tottenham's defeat is fatal. Shameful bottom with 18th defeat in the league. Rumors of a managerial change are also heating up again. Tottenham Hotspur News, a Tottenham media outlet, said shortly after the defeat that day 'Ange Postecoglou has nowhere to hide anymore. criticized his replacement as a justifiable result. 'This defeat clearly revealed the collapsed defense. Defenders seem to lack organizational skills and understanding of their roles, saying 'Goalkeeper Vicario's early mistakes show a bigger problem. 'Both defenders and goalkeepers fail to effectively execute Postecoglou's high-pressing system, and look confused,' he wrote. 'The collapse against strongman Nottingham Forest, with 37 points remaining in 16th place, represents a fatal failure under Postecoglou. Tottenham, who have been without a crown since 2008, need a better result. He called for Postecoglou's replacement, saying it is a sign that the coach needs to be replaced.
