Tottenham Hotspur are in a dire situation right now, and it’s around about this time that Daniel Levy usually considers sacking managers.
Indeed, Daniel Levy hasn’t been afraid to make a change in the dugout when things aren’t going well in the past, and Ange Postecoglou is performing worse than many of his predecessors.
Spurs are really struggling right now as they sit 15th in the Premier League table.
However, for now, Postecoglou’s job is safe, even if there have been reports stating that Tottenham’s players aren’t enjoying training anymore.
However, speaking on The View from The Lane, James Maw has shared a different insight.
Indeed, according to the journalist, the noises coming out of the Spurs dressing room suggest that the squad are still backing the manager and still playing for him.
Tottenham’s squad still playing for Ange Postecoglou
Maw shared what he’s hearing from the Spurs dressing room at the moment.
The reporter says that the squad are still motivated by Postecoglou and still playing for him at the moment.
“I mean, from what we kind of hear in and around the dressing room, or certainly up to now, players have still been motivated by the manager and they’re still playing for the manager, which hasn’t been the case with other managers when things seem to have been turning sour. So, I mean, that’s a pretty substantial thing in his favour. But I mean, what happens if they lose to Leicester?” Maw said.
Tottenham’s current injuries
Tottenham’s results have been terrible recently but it’s hard to place the blame completely on the manager.
Indeed, injuries have decimated this Spurs squad as of late, and that is a huge driving force behind this poor form.
Tottenham’s players are still giving it their all, and they still believe in their manager’s methods, but the sad reality is that the XI that Postecoglou is being forced to field every week isn’t up to scratch.
Should Tottenham be higher in the table than 15th? Of course they should, they’re still fielding hundreds of millions of pounds worth of talent every week, but is this slump likely to be solved by sacking the manager? There’s an argument to make that it wouldn’t.
The Spurs players still back their manager, and, as long as that is the case, a change in the dugout probably won’t be on the cards.
Postecoglou is under pressure, but he may still have a few more weeks in the bank to turn things around.
