Maddison looked sluggish against Galatasaray and in the first few minutes was easily beaten to the ball by Lucas Torreira. When Lankshear attempted a one-two with Maddison, his senior team-mate stopped running. Postecoglou was visibly upset on the touchline.

Ange Postecoglou has taken responsibility for Tottenham 's form, saying their inconsistency “comes down to me and my approach” following Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Ipswich. Spurs followed up the 4-1 home thrashing of Aston Villa last weekend with a deserved loss to the Tractor Boys, who recorded their first Premier League win in 22 years.

After returning from Istanbul overnight, Ange Postecoglou was back in front of the media on Friday to look ahead to Sunday’s clash with Ipswich Town at Stadium (2pm UK).
