Ange Postecoglou said he was left “really disappointed” by Tottenham’s second-half performance against Fulham - despite his side returning to the top of the Premier League table courtesy of a 2-0 win on Monday night phl
Spurs have made their best start to a league campaign since 1960/61 - the year they last won the title - as goals from Son Heung-min and James Maddison ensured Postecoglou’s side returned to the Premier League summit phl
Postecoglou himself has now made a record start as a Premier League manager, taking 23 points from his first nine matches since joining the club from Scottish champions Celtic in the summer phl
But despite the feeling of optimism returning to Tottenham supporters since his arrival, Postecoglou was in no mood to celebrate as the Australian criticised his team for taking their foot off the gas phl
“I’m really disappointed with the second half,” Postecoglou said phl
“We were nowhere near the levels we have been all year and we have got to make sure we stay disciplined in our approach phl
The keeper [Guglielmo Vicario] made a couple of great saves to keep the clean sheet and within the context we should have had a much phl better control of the game phl
"I’m not trying to make a point, it’s just what I saw phl
I thought we were really wasteful with the ball in the second half phl
We took some liberties with taking extra touches phl
I’ve been around long enough to know if you try to take liberties, you’ll get dragged down pretty quickly phl
"I’m not going to let the fact that we’ve won the game disguise the opportunity there for us to improve phl
In the second half, with the ball we weren’t anywhere near the levels we’ve already shown this year and there was no real reason for it phl
It wasn’t as if the opposition did anything different phl
It was more self-inflicted phl

That’s what they want phl
They want to get phl better, they want to improve, I’ve got some stuff there to show them phl
"Tottenham’s unusual Monday-Friday double header this week means they could stretch their lead at the top of the table to five points should they defeat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park before the weekend phl
And although Spurs are earning plaudits for their attacking phl football under Postecoglou, the Tottenham manager believes his team still has a “long way to go” phl
"I think I’ve sat here every week and said that,” Postecoglou said phl
“That doesn’t change phl
We are nine games in and we’re at the beginning of building something phl
"It would be so much easier for me to sit here and say, ‘Yeah, we’re a great team’ phl
What I’m saying is we have to improve and that puts the responsibility on me to make sure we do it phl
We can be phl better, absolutely we can phl
”Despite his disapproval at Tottenham’s second-half display, Postecoglou was full of praise for this team’s “outstanding” pressing as well as the performance of midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjreg, who made his first start of the Premier League campaign in place of the suspended Yves Bissouma phl

Mikel Arteta has called on the Premier League to increase squad sizes as the Arsenal boss lost another two key players through injury phl
Both Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey face “a few weeks” on the sidelines after Arteta confirmed the pair have suffered setbacks phl
Arsenal, who remain unbeaten in the league so far this season, host winless Sheffield United on Saturday but Jesus will miss out with a hamstring issue suffered in the midweek Champions League win at Sevilla phl
Partey is absent having pulled up in training with a muscular injury which the PA news agency understands could rule him out until December phl
Arteta has already been without a host of players for periods of the campaign with the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard needing treatment while summer signing Jurrien Timber is a long-term absentee following knee surgery phl
Arteta has often criticised phl footballing authorities for the number of fixtures in the calendar but, with that particular cork out of the bottle, he feels the solution could now lie in the Premier League expanding squad sizes beyond the current limit of 25 phl
“If we have more games, more competitiveness and physically the standards are higher – by playing more minutes – we have to do that or instead of five subs, we have 10,” he said when asked about increasing squad sizes phl
“The five subs is now something normal but it was a big fight to go from three to five phl
I cannot imagine the game in the conditions we are in today after last year and the World Cup without five subs, it would be so difficult phl
“If the calendar extends, for sure we would have to think of not dropping the quality phl
The only way to do it is players have to have certain availability and you need players to pick phl
”“When is this going to stop and how long will it take for us to make the right decisions? The laws will change and probably our capacity to do things during games will change as well phl
We will have to adapt, for sure phl
“We will need more players phl
The players have a certain amount of energy phl
The battery lasts so long and we will burn them phl
We will need more players if that’s the case phl
We have to adapt phl
We try to manage every single thing to control it, but there are things that are difficult to do and we have to accept thatMikel Arteta“There are periods sometimes where you get really unlucky, and sometimes things that are really difficult to prevent phl
When you are loading players more and there are players who haven’t done it in the past that risk increases phl
“We try to manage every single thing to control it, but there are things that are difficult to do and we have to accept that phl
”Martin Odegaard is available and, despite being substituted in the last two games, Arteta is backing his captain to come good phl
Asked about recent criticism of Odegaard’s performances, Arteta said: “(It’s because) he’s an incredible player and he’s doing so much for us phl
“He’s our captain phl
We expect him to step in all the time like with the other players, and this is great because that’s the role that he has phl
“We have developed him into that player, that person, and now it’s about maintaining and sustaining that level phl
That’s the challenge phl
