Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs in Crisis After 2-1 Loss to Leicester

Ange Postecoglou’s second season as Tottenham Hotspur manager has been fraught with struggles. A series of tough results including losses to Ipswich, Liverpool and a narrow FA Cup win over non-league Tamworth, culminated in a damaging 2-1 defeat to Leicester City, who had been on a seven-match losing streak. This defeat left Spurs in 15th place in the Premier League, just eight points above the relegation zone and on a seven-match winless streak.

Fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium voiced their anger, directing it not just at Postecoglou but also at chairman Daniel Levy, who now faces increasing scrutiny for the club’s failures. Despite backing Postecoglou with £214m to spend, including £100m from Harry Kane’s sale, critics argue that Levy has failed to reinvest in a winning team. This failure, along with Ange Postecoglou’s persistent calls for more signings amid a significant injury crisis has fueled protests against Levy’s leadership.

Many fans point to his long tenure as chairman, accusing him of failing to back managers adequately with multiple coaching changes failing to solve the club’s woes. Postecoglou, who initially brought an exciting brand of football to the club has seen his team’s form dip drastically. Tottenham’s results have been poor, and injuries to key players like Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie have worsened matters.

Postecoglou has stuck to his attacking style which some see as a strength, while others criticize his failure to adapt when key players are unavailable. With Spurs still in the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Europa League, Postecoglou remains hopeful but his position is under increasing pressure. Fans remain divided over whether to blame Levy or the manager for the club’s plight. Many believe the situation will not improve unless the club’s leadership changes.
