Talk to those behind the scenes and will explain the injuries that were the most important factor behind Tottenham's dilemma.
Son Hyung Min, Dominic Solanki, Digan Colosseki, Christian Romero, Mickey Van de Vin, Richarleron and Gollemo Vicario from among others, spent long attacks on the margin this season – many of them with muscle issues.
James Madison, Kulusevski was not available in Bilbao. The son started the bench because he considered it inappropriate after he recently returned from the injury.
In fact, multiple BBC Sport sources told the club's broken injury to the center of some friction between members of the training team, medical, power and air conditioning staff throughout the season.
A good position said, “It was the blame game,” said a good position.
According to the sources, the Richarlyson campaign, which was infected with competition, especially in the wake of the Carabau Cup 4-0 defeat by Liverpool in February when he recently suffered from knee and thighs, suffered Brazil International.
There were other examples this season as the Postecoglou team, the medical and fitness department did not witness.
Have you strongly pushed postecoglou? Or is the strength, air conditioning and medical departments wrong? The answers will differ depending on who you talk to.
Interestingly, it is understood that there are similar strains during the postecoglou era in Celtic, with the medical staff and the manager not always aligned.
It is appropriate to add that these tensions in Tottenham have eased in recent weeks, as the wounded returned to the club, while postecoglou sought factors in additional days for players in recent months – eliminating them from the Carabo Cup and the FA Cup to allow him to additional skill.
However, the huge number of muscle injuries that the club suffered this season indicates a problem that requires correction.
As usual at the end of the season, Tottenham will review the campaign with the aim of making improvements in the departments before the next.
With the arrival of the upcoming Venai Venkatesham as a new executive president, the position of football officials will be a scrutiny will be scrutinized at the end of the season.
Tottenham also held talks with the former managing director of football Fabio Paratiki because of his return to the club after his release in 2023 after an appeal against the FIFA ban for two and a half years due to alleged financial violations while he was rejected in Juventus at the highest sports court in Italy.
It is also fair to assume that the club's terrible injuries record will be part of the review process.
The budget trend of the club's injury issues was the development of 19 -year -old Bergval and Archi Gray this season.
It was expected that both teenagers will be reduced in the first team's duty this season – but the couple made 88 games between them so far.
While there is a recognition that the experience will be invaluable to develop both players, there is also acceptance that the situation was far from the club, which is expected to be a challenge in the fifth place.
