Spurs booed off as damning stats highlight their dreadful form under Postecoglou

talksport.com, 26 January 2025, 16:42
Tottenham's dismal form continued on Sunday with another defeat that only adds more pressure on Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs were beaten 2-1 at home by Leicester City, who were winless in their previous eight Premier League outings before this weekend.

Postecoglou's side opened the scoring through Richarlison but Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss goals ensured Leicester won the points.

It's a result that leaves Spurs 15th in the table with 13 defeats, and new statistics show just how poor their recent form has been.

Since the beginning of December, only Southampton have lost more matches than the north London outfit with nine compared to eight.

Spurs have won just five points since then, with the Saints the only side to earn less during that time with one point.

They've conceded 28 goals in the Premier League since December 1 and Spurs are just four off them on 24.

In fact, the only team that Spurs have managed to beat in their past 11 league outings was Southampton when they won 5-0.

Postecoglou's side have been ravaged by injuries across the past two months and it's been clear to see in their performances.

Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven have been notable absences, with James Maddison also missing Sunday's defeat.

Failure to win any of their last seven Premier League matches is their longest winless run since their spell of nine from May to October 2008.

It's also the first time Spurs have conceded two goals in the first five minutes of a Premier League second half since losing 4-0 to Liverpool in November 1997.

Their only wins since beating Southampton on December 15 have come in the cups against Liverpool, Tamworth and Hoffenheim.

Spurs fan frustrations have been building amid such poor form and were audible at full-time against Leicester when boos rang out.

There were also chants of 'Levy Out' during the match as chairman Daniel Levy also faces pressure at the top of the club.

Ex-Tottenham man Jamie O'Hara said after the game: "It was disgraceful. I mean, it was actually, that is a disgraceful performance. Pathetic second half, nowhere near good enough.

"An inquest needs to be had into what Ange was telling them at half-time. They're going, they're 1-0 up, keep the game tight.

"It was edgy in the first half, nervous performance, but you got your noses in front to come out and play like we did in the second half. And it was just desperation after that. Leicester City were the best team.

"Over the course of 90 minutes, they were the better side. They played well in the first half and they didn't quite have the end product, but I thought they got into good areas.

"Tottenham didn't trouble the keeper once, apart from the ball from Porro, which he swings in, which is a great cross from Richarlison, who'd done nothing else in the game, by the way, gets his head on it and scores.

"That's his job, to score goals. But after that, when Leicester went 2-1 up, they were non-existent, Tottenham. The performance was pathetic.

"Top players meant to be at that football club in terms of Son, Kulusevski, Bentancur, Richarlison, Porro. Mate, it was one of the worst performances I've seen. Again, another shocking result, another shocking performance.

"I don't know how Ange can stay in the job. I don't know what needs to happen. And I don't know what happens at the top with Daniel Levy.

"It's the 26th of January and we've signed one player, and he's a goalkeeper, who's going to end up being number two to Vicario when he comes back. Sign some players."

Whilst there is still an eight-point gap between them and the bottom three, a poor final standing remains on the cards.

Some Spurs fans are convinced they are in a relegation fight, however, as they called into talkSPORT in their droves.

Darren the Tottenham fan said: "It's so badly mismanaged this club and my biggest fear now is that the manager hasn't got the tactical nous and I'm sorry to say it the players haven't got the bottle to get themselves out of a relegation battle."

Spurs fan at the game Jack added: "The players may not be good enough. We know that. But this manager has to go now.

"I mean we can't carry on losing game after game after game and however bad those people, the squad is or that chairman might be, that team is not a 16th place team."
