Ange Postecoglou lost yet another Premier League game this season on Sunday afternoon, to leave his Tottenham Hotspurside just eight points clear of the drop zone after a stunning 2-1 home loss to relegation rivals Leicester City. But Spurs writer Alasdair Gold has stated that the club will continue to back the Australian, with the club’s injury crisis giving Postecoglou a reprieve in terms of keeping his job in north London.
Spurs sit 15th in the Premier League as we head into February, a scenario that is almost unheard of for a club of their stature – with just seven wins in the top-flight this season. Four straight losses in the league have seen them go toe-to-toe with the likes of Everton and West Ham United – who are both having poor seasons by their own standards – in the bottom half of the table, and that has seen Postecoglou land well under the cosh as he fights for his job in the capital.
