Tottenham boss Postecoglou refuses to dwell on set-piece weakness

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has leapt to the defense of his team.

The Australian was asked about Spurs' frailty at set pieces this season, which cost them at the weekend.

Conceding two goals from such situations meant that Spurs lost 3-2 to Arsenal in the Premier League.

“Not in the least," he said when asked if he was losing sleep about the issue.

“I get it. Look, it's not an answer people want to hear and to quote Billy Joel: You may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.'

“This is not the first time I've been questioned about set-pieces in my coaching career, but I'm just not interested in it. Never have been."
