WHAT ANGE POSTECOGLOU SAID
Speaking to reporters after the game, Postecoglou said, "Look, the lads care. They’re frustrated, they’re not happy with the current situation and they want to address it. It just shows they care so I don’t need to address that."
While speaking to Sky Sports, the manager added, "They care, mate. They care. I’d hate to think that they were skipping into the tunnel holding hands. They care and when they care that’s a good thing."
