Ange Postecoglou admits pressure is on Tottenham at pivotal point
Spurs lost at home to Ipswich in last outing‘If we’re 10th at Christmas, it won’t be great’
Ange Postecoglou has admitted his position will be under “a lot of scrutiny” if he has not lifted Tottenham out of mid-table by Christmas. The club play at Manchester City on Saturday – the start of what Postecoglou called a “pivotal” nine-game sequence in 29 days – and he was keen to highlight the fine margins at work.
If Spurs had beaten Ipswich at home on the Sunday before last, they would sit third in the Premier League. They have the second-best goal difference in the division, are into the Carabao Cup quarter-final – where they have a home tie against Manchester United – and are going well in the Europa League.
