Tottenham are in a real mess at the moment under Ange Postecoglou.
Despite Richarlison putting Spurs 1-0 up against Leicester, the Foxes battled back to secure a shock 2-1 win thanks to goals from Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss, leaving Tottenham even closer to the Premier League relegation zone.
TBR Football understand Tottenham are backing Postecoglou amid this difficult spell – rather than lining up potential replacements – although Spurs fans let their frustration out at the Australian for what he did in the 54th minute against the Foxes.
Tottenham fans vocal in disagreeing with Richarlison and Pape Sarr substitutions
The 59-year-old opted to withdraw Richarlison and Pape Sarr in the 54th minute, bringing on Mikey Moore and Sergio Reguilon to replace them.
It was a decision which went down very badly amongst the Tottenham supporters, who could be heard booing loudly – due to the fact both the Brazil international and the Senegal international were playing well.
Tottenham fans have often chanted against Daniel Levy instead of Ange Postecoglou – although it was interesting to hear supporters somewhat turn against the man born in Nea Filadelfeia on this occasion.
Why Spurs supporters were wrong to boo Ange Postecoglou
We can understand why Tottenham fans booed – and they have every right to voice their opinion given how much Spurs charge for tickets nowadays – although context is needed here.
Richarlison has only just returned from a hamstring injury which ruled him out of ten consecutive Premier League games, whereas Sarr has also been suffering with an injury of late.
Therefore, with Tottenham already missing the likes of Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, James Maddison, Destiny Udogie, Yves Bissouma and Guglielmo Vicario, you can understand why Postecoglou was eager to be proactive in keeping his best players off the treatment table.
