Tottenham Hotspur, one of the most unpredictable teams in the Premier League, suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat away to Bournemouth last Thursday. This loss came as a huge blow to Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou who has witnessed his team's highs and lows this season. From defeating top-flight teams like Manchester United, Manchester City, and Aston Villa to losing against Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town and now Bournemouth.
Following a substandard 1-1 draw with Fulham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium previously, fans were hoping for a strong response against Bournemouth. However, their hopes were dashed as the result left Spurs in 10th place in the Premier League standings. This led to clashes between fans and Greek-Australian tactician Postecoglou after the full-time whistle.
The inconsistent run of results has increased pressure on Ange Postecoglou. Tottenham have no intention of sacking Ange Postecoglou. They still have complete faith in his ability to take the team forward.
Daniel Levy’s stance made clear
Daniel Levy is not overly worried by Tottenham’s form despite them sitting six points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City after just 14 matches. The English businessman believes that several key players' injuries have been unfortunate this season which made Big Ange’s job at N17 difficult.
Key players such as Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Richarlison Son Heung-min and Dominic Solanke have been unavailable at different junctures of the campaign. This has undoubtedly impacted the team's performance.
Future of Postecoglou
Despite the pressure and inconsistent results, Postecoglou isn’t close to getting fired by Spurs. The upcoming weeks where Spurs face Chelsea, Rangers, Southampton and Manchester United will provide a clearer picture about Big Ange’s future at White Hart Lane.
The Greek-born manager’s side were completely overrun and outplayed by Bournemouth in midweek. The 1-0 result flattered the North Londoners which should serve as a mighty lesson for him and his players.
Despite Tottenham's recent disappointing performances, there is still faith in Ange Postecoglou's ability to lead the team forward. His future with Tottenham remains secure for now as they navigate through this challenging season.
