Manchester United legend Gary Neville has commented on Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham Hotspur as two factors are “killing” the head coach.
Postecoglou is the firm favourite to be the next Premier League sacked as Spurs are going through a dire run of form.
Tottenham has fallen to 15th in the Premier League table and they are 8 problems out of the relegation zone.
Postcoglou is fighting to save his job. On Thursday evening, Spurs Ellsborg in the Europa League before heading to Brentford on Sunday afternoon.
The celebration of northern London faces a crisis of primary injuries, however, they have been successful in Cup competitions than in the Premier League. They had an advance of aggregation 1-0 in Liverpool before the time level of their Cábao Cup semifinal on February 6 before facing Aston Villa in the FA Cup room on February 9.
Neville reckons Postecoglou will be sacked if Spurs exit these two cup competitions next week.
“I think that if he loses the moment -moment level of the Carabao in Liverpool, and takes out the FA Cup in Villa, I think it will be so poisonous that Daniel Levy will act,” Neville said in football.
“If they are without cup competitions, I think it will act. If they are in Cup competitions, I think it can [stay].
“[Levy] do it now before the Cup games, enthusiasts will kill him. “
Wayne Rooney added: “Some managers who watch, they’re annoying.
“But with Postecoglou, I like how fair it is. We had it with Louis Van Gaal, you can be too fair and he kills you again.
“With Ange, injuries have absolutely killed him. I don’t think it’s just about trophies [for fans], the fall-off this season is what no one has seen coming.
“If Spurs were consistently now in the top four and getting to semis and finals, I would have thought they would be quite pleased.”
Earlier this month, Neville said Postcoglou took a “massive risk” with his side back because Spurs want to “adapt. “
“You are talking about sophisticated things, aren’t you talking about the perspective of the two backs backs that are not so top in the box at the same time from the structure of the game,” said Neville?
“Simple thing. An undeniable thing I would say is a great risk. If you give the ball to your own defensive 3 and your backs are too much forward, your plants have large spaces along them, you should probably admit objectives.
“But that’s how it sounds, this is the song we enjoyed last season. So I agree with you [Rebecca Lowe], that’s not exactly what I would do, I would adapt, I would like to see my football team adapt to other cases it won’t yet.
