Fabrizio Romano shares Ange Postecoglou sack update at Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur endured another disappointing loss on Sunday, falling 3-2 to Everton at Goodison Park. In an exclusive update for his GIVEMESPORT newsletter, renowned Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano shed light on the current situation surrounding Spurs and manager Ange Postecoglou’s future.
The defeat to Everton was another bitter blow for the north London club, who found themselves three goals down at halftime against a struggling Everton side. Despite a late fightback, which included goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison, Tottenham was unable to salvage a point, with David Moyes’ team clinching a crucial victory. The loss leaves Spurs languishing in 15th place in the Premier League, with their recent form being far from acceptable.
One major issue contributing to Tottenham’s struggles is the mounting injury crisis that has affected nearly the entire starting XI. The list of sidelined players is extensive, with crucial first-team members such as Brennan Johnson, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur, Dominic Solanke, Timo Werner, and Wilson Odobert all unavailable for selection. This means that a staggering 11 senior players were missing for the trip to Everton, leaving Postecoglou with limited options.
The ongoing injury woes are undoubtedly hindering Tottenham’s ability to produce the results expected at a top-flight club, and the pressure on Postecoglou is growing as his side continues to falter. However, despite the team’s disappointing performances, both manager and board have shown resilience and faith in each other. Chairman Daniel Levy, in particular, has backed Postecoglou through this tough period, with many hoping that the manager’s tactics and vision will eventually bear fruit once key players return to fitness.
While it’s clear that injuries are a significant factor in Tottenham’s struggles, the team’s overall form and position in the league are concerning. The upcoming weeks will be crucial for Spurs, with Postecoglou needing to find a way to manage the squad effectively and secure vital points, even with so many first-team players sidelined. The club’s ability to overcome this crisis and turn things around will likely determine the trajectory of the rest of the season and the manager’s future in charge.
