Former Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has taken responsibility for Spurs' recent inconsistencies.

The club have won just three out of their last nine games, drawing one and losing the other six.

A 3-2 win over Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim away from home in the Europa League on Thursday was much-needed, but ahead of his side's clash with Leicester City on Sunday, Postecoglou was pressed on Spurs' form.

He was willing to take full responsibility for their recent results, seeking to explain why they are playing the way they are: "We've just got injuries," he said (BBC).

"Every decision that is made is on me, I'm responsible for it, I'm the one that's guiding this. If you're looking for a head on a stick, take mine.

"I am absolutely 100% confident that we are in a much better place in all areas of the football club today than we were when I first started."

Postecoglou swapped Glasgow's east end for north London a year and a half ago.

His all-out, attacking style of play has undoubtedly caught the eye in the English Premier League and gained widespread attention.

While his methods have received criticism, the Australian is adamant his Tottenham team will come good, and once more yesterday, put his players' recent displays on his shoulders, taking full responsibility for their performances.
