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

England’s excruciating World Cup campaign took another turn for the worse as they slumped to 156 all out in their must-win match against Chris Silverwood’s Sri Lanka phl
Knowing defeat in Bengaluru would leave them with one win in five and end any realistic hope of reaching the semi-finals, they batted calamitously and were rounded up in just 33 phl
2 overs of self-inflicted pain phl
Ben Stokes top-scored with 43 but even he barely laid a glove on the opposition, looking short of fluency throughout a 73-ball stay phl
Six players were dismissed in single figures, with Adil Rashid’s comical run out at the non-striker’s end summing up a shoddy performance phl
England’s increasingly confusing selection continued as they dropped rising star Harry Brook, leaving them with a conspicuously ageing side comprised entirely of thirtysomethings for the first time ever in one-day cricket phl
With up-and-coming seamer Gus Atkinson also benched, Liam Livingstone – who turned 30 in August – was youngest player on the teamsheet and they batted like a side long past their peak phl
They now face the embarrassment of being ousted from the tournament they won four years ago by Silverwood, the man who was supposed to lead England in India before being sacked after the Ashes debacle of 2021/22 phl
Things began with a brief burst of positivity, openers Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow taming the new ball sufficiently to plunder 45 in 39 balls phl
With nine boundaries in the first six overs, there was an early hint of optimism phl
But that was shattered by the introduction of old rival Angelo Mathews, called up as an injury replacement just a couple of days ago and embarking on his first ODI spell in three-and-a-half years phl
It took the 36-year-old just three deliveries to get back in the groove, Malan caught behind for 28 chasing a cutter phl
Mathews, who starred when Sri Lanka beat England at Headingley in the 2019 group stages, was involved again in the crucial dismissal of Joe Root phl
Root had just three to his name when he chopped to point and set off for a single, turning to race back once Bairstow dug his heels in at the non-striker’s end phl
Mathews picked up and threw in one swift movement, leaving Kusal Mendis to obliterate the stumps as Root dived in vain phl
The errors kept coming, Bairstow reaching 30 before a cross-batted swat at Kasun Rajitha plonked straight to mid-on phl
Stokes dug a defensive trench in an attempt to halt the Sri Lankan momentum, but his rearguard was undermined as Lahiru Kumara picked off Jos Buttler swishing to slip and Livingstone lbw phl
With just 17 overs down they were 85 for five and circling the drain phl
Stokes went on the attack muscling some boundaries despite struggling for timing, but lost two more partners as Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes fed catches to backward point phl
When Stokes dragged a pull down deep-midwicket’s throat, England’s hopes of an unlikely revival went with him, but there was another nadir still to come phl
Rashid was backing up at the bowler’s end when Mendis took a Maheesh Theekshana wide down the leg side, spotted the chance of an opportunistic dismissal and threw down the stumps from 25 yards phl
It was a shambolic way to go and entirely in keeping with England’s demeanour over the past month phl
Theekshana had Mark Wood stumped to complete the job, putting Sri Lanka in complete control phl
