Tottenham Hotspur’s disappointing afternoon at Craven Cottage ended in a 2-0 defeat to Fulham, with manager Ange Postecoglou expressing frustration over the team’s performance—particularly singling out midfielder Yves Bissouma. The Spurs boss repeatedly described both of Fulham’s goals as “soft” and emphasized that he expects more from Bissouma, who was substituted at halftime following another underwhelming display.The Mali international was replaced by youngster Lucas Bergvall shortly after a moment that epitomized his recent struggles—misplacing a simple pass out of play, much to the dismay of the visiting Spurs supporters. It was yet another disappointing outing for Bissouma, who has struggled to find form in recent weeks.“I feel Biss sometimes lets the game drift by him—he needs to be more dominant,” Postecoglou remarked after the match. “Today, we needed more in that position. I wanted him to play because he hasn’t had many minutes lately, but at the same time, I need him to perform. It’s fair to say that maybe Biss and a few others are lacking confidence, but at this stage of the season, we need players who can step up.”
