We want to achieve things, we want to be successful and we\u2019re down to the bare bones in players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;If someone is fit and able to contribute and someone who feels they need a bit extra [motivation], they are probably not the right person.

We have 15 fit players. If you want to make excuses there\u2019s millions of excuses of them why they can\u2019t be successful. If that\u2019s you, move on, go somewhere else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;Last night wasn\u2019t about Timo Werner wasn\u2019t about him. It could have been someone else. Other players could have given more. It\u2019s not about Timo, it\u2019s about the situation we are in. It could be anyone. It\u2019s not about bringing someone down or blaming someone.\u2019<\/p>\n<h2>Postecoglou Says He&#8217;s Sick Of Excuses After Cristian Romero&#8217;s Comments<\/h2>\n<p>The Tottenham boss has also criticised Cristian Romero&#8217;s recent comments that hinted at Spurs&#8217; lack of success being down to chairman Daniel Levy not investing enough money into the club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;I am sick of that too,&#8221; said Postecoglou. &#8220;That is an excuse for me. That is why, Romero\u2019s comments \u2013 I think that is an excuse. We are here. If we think some mythical thing exists that prevents success, then change it \u2013 what\u2019s the point otherwise. If you don\u2019t buy into it, don\u2019t come here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/tottenham-vs-chelsea-highlights-cole-palmer-leads-blues-comeback\/\">Spurs&#8217; 4-3 defeat by Chelsea<\/a> on Sunday, Romero was asked if the club&#8217;s limited budget and lack of depth was the reason for Spurs&#8217; lack of success when it came to trophies. The defender told Telemundo Deportes: &#8220;The truth is, I would say no comment, but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;Manchester City competes every year, you see how Liverpool strengthens its squad, Chelsea strengthens their squad, doesn&#8217;t do well, strengthens again, and now they&#8217;re seeing results. Those are the things to imitate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;You have to realise that something is going wrong, hopefully, they realise it. The last few years, it&#8217;s always the same: first, the players, then the coaching staff changes, and it&#8217;s always the same people responsible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8220;Hopefully, they realise who the true responsible ones are, and we move forward because it&#8217;s a beautiful club that, with the structure it has, could easily be competing for the title every year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Spurs&#8217; Struggles Continue<\/h2>\n<p>Spurs have now won just once in their last eight games in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>The draw at Rangers was a prime example for their recent struggles.
