Ange Postecoglou is a man under pressure
The pressure is now starting to build on Ange Postecoglou, with many supporters worried that the team is not showing signs of progress in his second season in charge
However, rather than publicly attacking his players like some of his predecessors at Spurs, Postecoglou chose to take the blame for the side’s struggles.
The head coach declared following Tottenham’s 2-1 loss to Ipswich that the side’s inconsistency stems from his approach, admitting that it is an issue that he needs to address.
Which Spurs players have fallen out with Postecoglou?
Football Insider have now claimed that at least four of Tottenham’s first-team players have now fallen out with the club’s head coach.
The report claims that Postecoglou is at the centre of a bust-up with his players, with Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Rodrigo Bentancur and Cristian Romero, thought to be upset by the Australian.
It is explained that the Spurs boss’ straight-talking nature has not gone down well with some players and has sewn discord at Hotspur Way.
