Tottenham’s inconsistent run continued following their defeat to Arsenal, as they now find themselves in an even worse position after a 3-2 loss to Everton, a team sitting just one place below them in the Premier League table. Remarkably, against a low-scoring Everton side, Tottenham conceded three goals before half-time, gifting David Moyes the Merseyside return he had been hoping for. Ange Postecoglou, already under pressure, faces even more scrutiny after this latest setback.
Following the defeat, Tottenham have dropped to 15th in the table, marking a new low for the Lilywhites. Spurs delivered a shocking performance against Everton, which was consistent with many of their displays this season.
While many supporters argue that Tottenham’s problems extend beyond Ange Postecoglou, the manager remains responsible for the team’s performances on the pitch. At half-time, Jamie O’Hara took to X to express his frustration, describing Spurs’ display as “absolutely embarrassing.”
Jamie expresses criticism on Big Ange
Everton dominated the match entirely, leaving Tottenham unable to secure a win against the 16th-placed side, much to the frustration of their fans. Ange Postecoglou’s record continues to worsen, prompting prominent Tottenham journalist Jamie O’Hara to voice his discontent. At half-time, O’Hara criticised Spurs’ performance on X, calling it “absolutely embarrassing.”
While O’Hara stopped short of demanding Postecoglou’s sacking, he questioned the manager’s efforts, suggesting he hasn’t done enough despite the challenging circumstances. Before the Everton defeat, reports indicated that Tottenham’s board would continue to back Postecoglou, a stance likely to remain unchanged given the injury crisis.
However, Spurs are edging closer to a relegation battle, even with their strong performances in Europe and aspirations for a Carabao Cup final at Wembley.

The debate over whether Postecoglou is the right man for the job continues to divide opinion in N17. While he seems well-positioned to unlock the team’s potential, a more pragmatic approach may be necessary for Tottenham to start delivering consistent results. For a club of their stature, missing out on European football season after season is simply not an option.
