Tottenham Faces Key Injuries and Suspensions

Injuries continue to plague Tottenham Hotspur as they face a critical match against Manchester City, with key players including Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, and Rodrigo Bentancur sidelined. Head coach Ange Postecoglou has acknowledged that his position will be under scrutiny if the team does not improve its mid-table standing by Christmas. Despite a strong start last season, Spurs have struggled to maintain consistency, currently sitting in 10th place after a disappointing loss to Ipswich. Postecoglou emphasized the importance of the upcoming nine-game stretch, aiming to capitalize on their good goal difference and cup performances to gain momentum. The manager is also tasked with navigating a challenging period without several first-team players, raising concerns about the team's depth and strategy. Additionally, there are questions regarding the impact of past managers at Spurs, particularly as they seek stability and improvement under Postecoglou’s leadership.
