After Tottenham's disappointing 4-3 loss to Chelsea on Sunday, Ange Postecoglou received a consoling gesture from his defender Cristian Romero. Despite their early 2-0 lead, Spurs succumbed to defeat due to a brilliant brace from Cole Palmer and goals from Jadon Sancho and Enzo Fernandez.
This result has put even more pressure on Postecoglou, who is currently leading the team at 11th place in the Premier League and has only managed to secure one win in their last seven games across all competitions. In his second season, he had promised to bring home a trophy for the team, but it seems like things are not going according to plan.
Even Jamie Carragher commented on the situation, stating that Postecoglou could risk getting sacked if he doesn't change his tactics. "There's this idea of playing a pure game and the Tottenham fans singing 'We've got our Tottenham back' but you won't win anything, you won't challenge," Carragher stated on Sky Sports. He compared it to waking up to a rainy day and having to put on a coat instead of shorts and a T-shirt.
Despite all the criticism and pressure, Romero stood by his team and their coach. He praised Postecoglou's coaching abilities and acknowledged that injuries have been a major setback for the team this season. "Players are the first ones to be criticized, then if we lose 10 games, the staff can be changed, but nobody talks about what is actually happening," Romero stated in an interview with Telemundo. He also mentioned that the players are happy with the staff and their approach to the game.
Postecoglou, on the other hand, remains confident in his methods and tactics, despite the lack of positive results in the past few months. "They are giving everything they can," he stated after the game. He also acknowledged that the team needs a break due to injuries, but they can't afford to give the players a rest. He firmly believes that the squad is still committed to their game plan and they will turn their season around.
Looking ahead, Spurs will have a chance to redeem themselves as they face Rangers in the Europa League. Postecoglou and his team are determined to get back to their winning ways and prove their critics wrong. With a strong conviction in their approach to the game, they hope to overcome their recent struggles and achieve success in the upcoming matches.
