Tottenham boss Postecoglou mocks 'caring reporter' Johnson question

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has mocked questions about Brennan Johnson after victory over Luton.

Johnson scored in yesterday's 2-1 win.

Postecoglou was asked if Johnson needed picking up after Wales' Euros playoff failure and said: "I know you want me to give them all a cuddle, mate. I know you are always concerned about our players, but I just don't have the time. I don't have the time.

"There are 25 beautiful souls in my dressing room and I just don't have the time to get around to them. It's football you know. It's a hard business, there's ups, there's downs and you've just got to deal with them sometimes.

"Brennan, obviously like Benny, felt the pain of missing out on a major competition, but being a professional footballer you use that as motivation to go out there next time. I am sure Brennan has got another couple tournaments in him and next time he'll try to become the one that gets them there."
