Ange Postecoglou, the Celtic hero turned Tottenham manager, is facing immense pressure after a disappointing run of results. The recent 4-3 loss to Chelsea, following a defeat against Bournemouth, has raised doubts about Postecoglou’s ability to succeed in the Premier League.
Just a short while ago, Postecoglou was praised for a stunning 4-0 victory over Manchester City, but now he finds himself under scrutiny from both fans and pundits in England. The confrontation with a Spurs supporter only added to the mounting pressure on the Australian coach.
Critics, including Paul Merson, have questioned Postecoglou’s tactics and decision-making, suggesting that his open style of play may not be suitable for a team like Tottenham, especially when facing strong opponents like Chelsea. Merson highlighted the difference in caliber between the players at Celtic and Tottenham, emphasizing the need for adaptation in the face of tougher competition.
As Postecoglou prepares to face Rangers in the Europa League, he remains determined to turn things around for Tottenham. With the League Cup Final against Celtic looming, a victory against Rangers could provide a much-needed boost for the struggling manager. Postecoglou is focused on controlling what he can and continuing to work towards improving his team’s performance in the hopes of changing their season for the better.
