The disgruntled away skipper openly expressed his immense frustration after a toothless performance allowed the North Londoners to preserve their top flight status.
The final day drama concluded with massive relief across Tottenham Hotspur. The Lilywhites successfully avoided a painful relegation from the Premier League. A solitary strike from Joao Palhinha settled the tense encounter against a toothless Everton side. Whose season completely petered out with a whimper. The Portuguese international escaped Michael Keane’s attention at a corner kick to score.
Palhinha converted at the second attempt after his initial effort came back off the post. This lacklustre display extended the visitors winless run to seven Premier League games and left them heading into the summer in a glum mood. David Moyes watched his men tumble down the table to finish thirteenth for a second straight season. Ending up only one point improved.
James Tarkowski vents immense frustration to Sky Sports after blowing exciting league position
The Toffees threw away an incredibly promising league position after actively muscling into the chase for Europe earlier in the spring. Speaking to Sky Sports at full time, opposing captain James Tarkowski confessed that blowing this exciting position hurts deeply and feels a bit rubbish. The experienced defender openly slammed their slow start, admitting it took seventy-five minutes to get going properly.
“Ultimately, the corner decided the game, so there are more disappointing ways to lose,” Tarkowski reflected honestly to the press. The skipper noted they had drifted down the table and ended the campaign on a low. He added: “I am proud but the way it has ended is disappointing. We were in an exciting position five or six weeks ago so it hurts and feels a bit rubbish. But on reflection in a few weeks time we’ll probably say it wasn’t a bad season.“
“We knew we were not the finished article,” Tarkowski stated while processing the defeat. While the defender remains proud, he knows the massive size of the club dictates higher expectations for next season. The N17 faithful care absolutely nothing for their profound misery. Manager Roberto De Zerbi immediately begins preparing for a massive upcoming summer transfer window.
