Tottenham Hotspur's manager Ange Postecoglou finds himself under increasing scrutiny following a disappointing 2-1 defeat to rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. This loss marks the sixth defeat in their last ten matches, leaving Spurs languishing in 13th place in the Premier League with just 24 points—only eight points above the relegation zone. The team's performance has raised alarms among fans and pundits alike, highlighting a significant drop in form.

In the match, Tottenham initially took the lead with a goal from Son Heung-min in the 25th minute. However, they failed to register another shot on target for the remainder of the game as Arsenal quickly turned the tide, scoring twice in four minutes. Postecoglou expressed his frustration, stating, "We were nowhere near the levels we needed to be at today," and described the team's passive first-half performance as "unacceptable." This sentiment was echoed by former players and commentators, who shared concerns over the team’s lack of competitiveness in key fixtures.

Tottenham's current predicament is exacerbated by their recent record, which includes 11 losses in the Premier League this season—their joint-most at this stage of any campaign. As the pressure mounts, Postecoglou acknowledges the need for improvement, stating, "The defeats hurt me. Not acceptable. Too many losses this year." With key players sidelined due to injuries, the manager is urged to adapt his tactics to better suit the available squad. The upcoming match against Everton is critical for Postecoglou, who understands that a turnaround is essential to alleviate the mounting pressure and restore confidence within the club.
