Tottenham Hotspur were beaten 2-1 away at Aston Villa in the fourth round of the FA Cup over the weekend. Mathys Tel scored his first goal for the London outfit at Villa Park but the visitors weren’t able to find an equaliser in the end.
It was a tough past week for Ange Postecoglou’s side and pressure continues to mount on the former Celtic man. The club hierarchy have a decision to make about whether to stick with him or make a change.
Spurs are sat in 14th place in the Premier League. They have 14 fixtures left to play this season as they look to rise up the table over the coming weeks and months.
Tottenham Hotspur U18s score impressive goal
Spurs’ U18s scored a well-worked team goal against Brighton and Hove Albion during their 5-3 win over the weekend. Their official X account posted: “This flick from Tynan. It kick-started another sublime team move which was finished off by Luca for his second of the game.”
They kept possession and played their way out from the back before Luca Williams-Barnett finished off in style. The top flight outfit have a few youngsters to keep an eye out for in the future including Tynan Thompson.
Spurs’ kids are taught to play the passing out from the back style of football. Postecoglou has religiously stuck by it with the first-team over recent times, despite the fact it has caused problems.
The U18s are managed by Stuart Lewis and he has been in charge since taking over from Matt Taylor back in 2021. They are sat in 6th place in the league.
What now for Tottenham Hotspur?
Spurs are back in action on Sunday with a home clash against Manchester United. They are looking to return to winning ways and build some confidence.
Following their defeat at Aston Villa, Postecoglou said: “People can judge me. They can say I've done a bad job, I'm not up to it or whatever. That's fine. What I'm saying is you can't be critical of our players' performances at this time.
"If you want to measure anything on what they're doing at the moment, other than the extreme situation they're dealing with, then I think your analysis is skewed and it's not objective. If it's to get rid of me that's fine. Good on you. Go for it a million times. But in terms of this group of players, what they've given over the past two and a half months has been outstanding."
He added: “[It's been] Two and a half months of asking 17-year-olds, 18-year-olds and senior players with no rest to play Thursday and Sunday [every week]. If you think that is not at all a factor in how this team is performing, then there's nothing else I can say," said Postecoglou.
"I think this group of players, once we get the rest of the group in, will be an outstanding team. I have no doubt about that. Whether other people can see that is of no interest to me."
