HE'S had his FIVE MINUTES! Postecoglou SNAPPY response to Leyton Orient manager comments

Ange Postecoglou responded to Leyton Orient manager Richie Wellens, who claimed he doesn’t make excuses for injuries like the Tottenham boss. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Protecting the players?: I don’t gauge the tone of what I say. We let a good team take control. We didn’t handle it well. 00:52 - Season hinges on this game?: No because we have other games. I don’t think about what I do in those senses.

It is what it is. It doesn’t change the decisions I make. 11:59 - Fear the fans will stop listening to you: I don’t know how it’s a narrative when you’re just stating facts. I really don’t know how to answer that. 13:52 - Semi-finals are tricky: it was a real disappointment. We gave ourselves a chance to reach the final. I’d rather be
