Ange postcoglou faces unwanted history on Thursday.
Defeat in Chelsea, live on Sky SportsHe would see him to become the first boss Tottenham, who lost the first four league games against Blues.
It would be other harmful statistics for insufficiently pressure Australian.
The loss of 2-0 in Fulham saw before the international break that Tottenham fell to the 15th season-jich at this stage of the Premier League campaign (29 games). Leaves them 14. Place in the table and at risk of their lowest end of the Premier League (15 in 1994).
“Ange is holding on his job right now,” said former midfielder Spurs Jamie O’Hara Sky Sports News As a result of Fulham’s defeat.
Day after loss in Craven Cottage, message in Daily Telegraph They argued that Bournemouth’s Andoni Irala and Fulham’s Marco Silva are among the leading candidates who will replace the postcogla if Spurs decides to make a managerial change in the summer.
The next day, The boss of former Spurs Mauricio Pocttino said Sky Sports News He wants to return to the club “one day” and has a “very good relationship” with Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy.
The warning lights have never been brighter for the postcogla. Is his only repair to win the European League and end the 17 -year -old spurs trophy drought?
“I think that’s, really yes,” O’Hara said. “Tottenham fans will go out of the park (in Fulham). If you pull EUROPA League from it for a second, if you look at the Premier League table and look at the show and output of the players, it’s not good enough.
“(Postcoglou) now rides on the European league. All eggs are in the basket. If we get discarded, they will lose their work.”
A bad record in London and lack of threat in the first half
Be only the chance of picking up his first points against Chelsea, but also to improve Spurs’s unfortunate London Derby Record this season.
No party scored less points in the Premier League London Derbies in this term than Tottenham, who lost five of the nine such games (W3 D1).
Stamford Bridge is a SPURS Cemetery – and this has been shown for postcogla last season.
The defeat of 2-0 sagging in West London saw him how he was at his players on the touch line in an explosive boast (watch below), because visitors in the first half could not have a shot at the target.
Almost a year and remains a lack of threat in the first half.
No shot at the opening 45 minutes in Fulham meant it was the ninth when Spurs couldn’t register a shot at the first half of the Premier League under postcogla, which is more than the last two permanent managers of SPURS – Antonio Conte (6) and Nuno Espirito Santo (2).
The free -flowing “Angeball”, dazzled by Spurs fans at the beginning of postcoglou’s tenure, emerged.
“I really don’t understand the credit that Ange at the bank really doesn’t,” O’Hara said. “It is a football team and a football club trying to get the Champions League and one of the most profitable clubs in the world.
“I understand it when Ange postcogla came. We had 10 games undefeated, the top of the league, and we had this exciting football and everyone loved it. Well, I haven’t really seen it since.”
Chelsea Architects of Ange’s Fight
In fact, the team of Thursday’s rivals Chelsea, who launched the Spurs’s decline in the form of the Premier League.
Blues’ 4-1 victories at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last year in the chaotic Monday night football (Revire The Premier League Classic below) caused the first league defeat for postcogla.
It also caused a seemingly endless list of injuries and suspension that the postcogla was very braking.
However, SPURS suffered more league defeats (27) than victory (22) from this infamous November defeat for Chelsea. And as shown in the table below, only four ubiquitous Premier League clubs have earned fewer points than Spurs since then.
Their form gone was also alarming. Leicester (10) and Southampton (12) lost only playing Leicester (10) and Southampton (12) than Tottenham (8).
“Since we lost to Chelsea, we have just been exhibited and the teams invented Spurs,” O’Hara said.
“I think the problem he had is that Premier League managers are the best managers. Players are the best players, adapt and find out how to beat you.
“The first 10 games were a little unknown with Tottenham because you didn’t know what you were going to get out of Ange postcogla.
“But since then, teams and players have come to you and Tottenham hasn’t had a plan of B since then.
“Yes, they had injuries, but I think we’re still trying to believe that we can be the team of the first 10 games that Ange had.
“For 18 months it was really true shocking.”
But with almost fully fit the group to liquidate and the hope of getting silver is still firmly alive, the postcogla now has a chance to capture this magic again from the first two months.
The first victory over Chelsea would be for a 59 -year -old in two months in the right direction in the right direction.
