Tottenham inconsistency puts Postecoglou’s job on a knife edge after damning Bournemouth defeat | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur fans have been put through a kaleidoscope of shifting emotions this season.

One moment, Spurs are riding the highs of handing Manchester City a thrashing. The next, they are held to a 1-1 draw by ten-man Fulham.

Their latest mishap came at the Vitality Stadium, where Ange Postecoglou’s side fell to a shock 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth.

Despite naming a strong line-up, Dean Huijsen’s 17th-minute header from a Marcus Tavenier corner was enough to condemn Spurs to their sixth defeat in just 14 games.

Tottenham’s latest setback epitomises their appalling level of inconsistency this season, and Postecoglou may be out of a job before Christmas if he doesn’t resolve the issue.

Spurs have now won just one of their last six games across all competitions, beating reigning champions Man City 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

It doesn’t get any easier in the next few weeks, with Chelsea up next for the beleaguered Lilywhites at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs failed to come away from the fruitless trip to Bournemouth unscathed, with makeshift centre-back Ben Davies picking up an injury.

If he doesn’t recover in time for Chelsea’s visit, Spurs will head into the game with Radu Dragusin as the only recognised first-team centre-back in the squad.

Spurs have now won just one of their last four league games (D1, L2) and sit tenth in the Premier League table, with only goal difference keeping them out of the bottom half.

Postecoglou must find a way to stop the rot, or he could become the latest scapegoat in a long line of unsuccessful Spurs managers.
