Ange Postecoglou admits “a fair chunk” of people will think he should be sacked as Tottenham boss but believes his players are giving him everything.
Spurs blew a 1-0 half-time lead against Leicester to suffer a fourth straight league defeat, while their only top-flight win in their last 11 games came at bottom-side Southampton.
Tottenham have suffered back-to-back defeats against struggling sides, having been beaten at Everton – in a game which saw them go 3-0 down at half-time – followed by the defeat by Leicester, who had previously lost seven consecutive league games.
Spurs are still in the mix to win a first trophy in 17 years with the north London side in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, the FA Cup fourth round and on course to reach the last 16 of the Europa League.
But their alarming Premier League form, which has seen them drop closer to the bottom three than the top half of the table, has put Postecoglou under immense pressure after seven league defeats in his last eight matches.
When asked if he should still be in charge once all of his key players return from injury, he said: “Who knows? A fair chunk will say no.
“When you are a manager of a football club, you can feel vulnerable and isolated, I don’t feel that. The players are giving everything. I will focus on that and try to support the players.” (SkySports)
