Tottenham Hotspur's season has taken a downturn with four consecutive defeats, putting their top four aspirations in jeopardy and leaving them fifth in the league. The team's internal dynamics appear strained, with reports of players arguing among themselves. This series of poor performances has sparked a widespread debate among football analysts and journalists regarding manager Ange Postecoglou's tactics and leadership, especially after selling star player Harry Kane. Criticism has been directed at Postecoglou's handling of set pieces and his failure to adapt his style throughout the season. Despite the recent slump, some commentators note that Spurs showed promise earlier in the season and still have a chance at the Champions League, suggesting there might still be reasons to retain Postecoglou.

Judging by his recent press conferences, Pochettino has been given no indication what the future holds. Does the recent good form mask over Chelsea's early season woes? Players like Jackson & Madueke are improving but will he ever win the fans over? ⬇️ @SJohnsonSport

The Big Ange debate… what’s gone wrong at Spurs? @MirrorFootball writers have their say. Let’s have it right… after selling Kane, fifth and chance of Champions League is decent. But his comments on set pieces unforgivable… https://t.co/3A4nKy8O4t
