Criticism Mounts for Spurs Manager Postecoglou

Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur faces pressure as they prepare to play Manchester City, with their performance metrics being second only to City in the Premier League. Despite being the league's top scorers, Spurs' inconsistency has seen them drop to 10th place after suffering a shocking home loss to Ipswich Town. Former players, including Aaron Lennon and Alan Hutton, have criticized Postecoglou's tactical approach, suggesting that an overemphasis on attack may be detrimental, especially in league play where consistency is key. Hutton believes that while Postecoglou's style may thrive in cup competitions, it poses risks against stronger teams that can capitalize on defensive lapses. With Spurs already 12 points behind leaders Liverpool, the upcoming match against City is pivotal for Postecoglou's tenure. The ongoing absence of key player Rodrigo Bentancur due to suspension adds further challenges for the Spurs manager.
