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 practical 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. The fans are now left debated feeling whether Ange is to be retained further with the recent 3-2 defeat to Everton boiling the fan’s blood.
Ange Postecoglou’s tenure at Tottenham may have reached its breaking point after the humiliating first half at Goodison Park.
Everton, the Premier League’s second-lowest scoring team, needed just 30 minutes to take a 2-0 lead against Spurs in their 3-2 victory, and they did so with ease. Dominic Calvert-Lewin struck first in the 13th minute, followed by Iliman Ndiaye, who exposed Tottenham’s defensive fragilities under their Australian manager with a swift passing move.
The second goal left Arsenal legend Perry Groves stunned on talkSPORT, especially given David Moyes’ recent arrival at Everton.
Ange’s time at Tottenham coming to an end
Tottenham have now lost four of their last five Premier League matches and currently sit in 15th place, marking a potential all-time low for the Lilywhites. These recent performances have cast a shadow over Ange Postecoglou’s tenure, with Arsenal great Perry Groves offering a pointed analysis.
Moyes highlighted Everton’s impressive second goal, describing it as a classic example of “Moyes ball.” The play began at right-back, moved through midfield, shifted to the left-back position, and eventually found Ndiaye after a 12-pass sequence—something not typically associated with Moyes’ teams.
Tottenham’s lacklustre defending drew sharp criticism, with Perry Groves suggesting that Spurs players are not fully committed to Postecoglou’s approach. The half-hearted pressing and poor organisation led him to speculate that this could be Postecoglou’s final week in charge. Moyes emphasised the significance of Everton, known for their struggles in attack, managing to dismantle Spurs so easily, further questioning the players’ belief in their manager. Postecoglou now faces significant pressure to turn things around.
