With just one win in their last six games across all competitions, the Australian manager is under immense pressure to turn things around.
Former Spurs midfielder Jamie O’Hara believes Postecoglou’s job could be at risk if the team is 10th or worse in the Premier League standings by Christmas.
O’Hara pointed to recurring issues in the team’s defensive setup and their struggles with set-pieces, stating on talkSPORT: “Daniel Levy won’t tolerate this for long. Champions League football is a priority, and being mid-table at Christmas won’t cut it.”
Injury Crisis Compounds Tottenham’s Struggles
Postecoglou’s task has been made tougher by a growing injury list that includes key players like Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, and Cristian Romero.
Other absences, including Rodrigo Bentancur’s suspension, have further weakened the squad, leaving Spurs vulnerable against both top-tier and mid-table teams.
Despite these challenges, the Spurs manager has emphasized the importance of maintaining team spirit and resilience during this period. However, the lack of consistency on the pitch is beginning to wear thin on fans and pundits alike.
Crucial Fixtures Loom Before Christmas
The road ahead for Tottenham is fraught with challenges, with five matches left before the holiday season, including a pivotal Premier League clash against Chelsea. These games could determine whether Postecoglou retains his position.
Acknowledging fans’ frustrations after the Bournemouth loss, Postecoglou remarked that he received direct feedback from the stands. Jamie O’Hara, reflecting the sentiments of many, stated: “Spurs fans demand better, and this level of performance simply won’t do.”
