Tottenham Hotspur are struggling immensely this season, and there are now suggestions that Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou is beginning to frustrate some of his players

This is the case for the defence of Ange Postecoglou although given Tottenham Hotspur have conceded 16 goals in their last six Premier League matches – including three against an Everton side who had only scored 15 times in their previous 20 league games – that may not be the wisest choice of words right now.

Despite the never-ending slew of injuries and promising campaigns in the cup competitions that could yet bear trophy fruit, such a dismal league run has seen serious pressure mount on manager Postecoglou, who accepted blame for Sunday’s dire first half on Merseyside after a formation switch that backfired badly.
