Mathys Tel was involved in an exchange with a small group of Tottenham fans directly after the team’s 2-0 defeat against Fulham on Sunday. Looking on course to leave Craven Cottage with at least with a point, Spurs fell to their 15th league defeat of the campaign following late strikes from Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon.
A defeat that leaves Tottenham ten points adrift of Bournemouth in tenth with nine games of the Premier League campaign remaining, supporters once again voiced their frustration after yet another miserable afternoon in the league. Following the full-time whistle in west London, Tel could be seen climbing over the advertising hoardings to talk to some Tottenham fans gathered at the front of the stand.
Video footage posted on X by @SpursArmyTweets shows supporters telling the January signing that performances are ‘not good enough’ following their latest defeat, with Tel getting his point across and saying ‘we need you, we need to be together’ to those talking to him. The exchange that was recorded lasts about 25 seconds before he climbed back over the advertising board to head inside the Craven Cottage dressing room.
Speaking in his post-match press conference, Spurs boss Postecoglou reflected on a 15th league defeat of the season and he was asked what he can say to the fans. He said: “I get their disappointment. It’s unacceptable to see 15 league defeats. It’s nowhere near good enough, nowhere near the level we need to be and I understand the supporters’ frustrations with that.
“Today wasn’t so much about performance, it was just another day when we let a game get away from us that we shouldn’t have. We weren’t played off the park and I felt that up until the point they scored, we were the team that was getting on top.
“We had a couple of good chances to go 1-0 up and that would have put the pressure on them but it’s happened too many times this year. We’ve given the opposition a lift into the game by conceding soft goals.”
