Heungmin, I'm sorry Postecoglou finally considered seriously in the event of a defeat against Aston Villa in the face of a hard-hitting crisis

Feb 09, 2025

Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou's future is only now threatened.

Tottenham will play Aston Villa in the fourth round of the 2024-2025 FA Cup at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, at 2:35 a.m. on the 10th (Korea time).

Tottenham in a continued crisis. The league table has fallen to 14th place. To make up for the slump in the league, performances in the Cup were essential. The only way to make up for a ruined season in the league is to get out of a swamp of no spectators, which has not been done since 2008.

Tottenham met Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final and won the first game 1-0 but fell away from the championship trophy again as it collapsed disastrously 0-4 in the second leg of the semifinal. There are still UEFA Europa League (UEL) and FA Cup left, but if Tottenham loses this match against Villa, the only competition Tottenham can seek to win is UEL.

It is absurd to talk about winning the UEL with Tottenham's performance now. The realistic option is the FA Cup, so this game is expected to be very important for Postecoglou's future.

British Give Me Sports said on the 8th "According to sources, Postecoglou is under intense pressure to keep his position as Tottenham manager. Failure to win the FA Cup against Villa due to the aftermath of missing tickets to the Carabao Cup final could put them in jeopardy"Postecoglou was at risk of being replaced," he said.

The media outlet stated that "Tottenham, who lost the second leg at Anfield, have lost seven of their last 13 games. Tottenham go to meet Villa, and FA Cup defeat could be fatal for Postecoglou. Postecoglou's place will be closely scrutinised if Tottenham are knocked out of two Cup tournaments in the coming days", he predicted.

In fact, Tottenham fans have already lost faith in Postecoglou. From the end of last season, Postecoglou's tactics were fully read to other clubs. Everyone knows that a counterattack tactic after the player's defense can prevent Tottenham.

Nevertheless, Postecoglou has insisted on only Plan A. While key forces continued to rise, they did not consider tactical changes and eventually reached this point. Give Me Sports" loss at Liverpool has left uncertainty about whether Postecoglou will be given the chance to watch the rest of the season"The elimination of the Carabao Cup was a very negative result for Postecoglou."

Postecoglou then insisted he would lead Tottenham to victory this season, insisting on his previous record at the club, but his hopes of ending the long wait of Tottenham fans for the championship are diminishing after being eliminated from the Carabao Cup. Losing to Villa could put his future in jeopardy" he added.

What is clear is that the crisis that came to Postecoglou is not tomorrow's job today. Local public sentiment has already hit rock bottom. Now, the arrow is also going to Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.

Charlie Acklischer, who works for The Athletic in the United Kingdom on the status quo, said, "For a while, the Carabao Cup has been

It was a safety net for Postecoglou. I thought it would be harsh to fire him when he was very close to winning. But it's out, and it all seems to come down to UEL depending on what happens on the Villa road. Is the best way for Tottenham to win a championship protecting Postecoglou? Is it a replacement? If it's the latter, we have to find a replacement in reality,' he told Postecoglou.

He concluded "My personal view is that Postecoglou finishes the season, but the game against Villa is really important" However, there has been no news of the imminent replacement of Postecoglou from leading reporters or media.

European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on the 9th, `There is no sign yet that Postecoglou's potential dismissal or shocking details. The current situation is under control" he said.
