Ange Postecoglou predicts when Tottenham will actually start winning games again after losing v Leicester City

After Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-1 loss against Leicester City, Ange Postecoglou would have been left scratching his head about how his Spurs side managed to clasp defeat from the jaws of victory.

Richarlison fired Tottenham⛦ into a 1-0 lead and Spurs looked fairly at ease for much of the first half.

But it took just five minutes for Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss to stage a heroic comeback for Leicester City🍃 and prove how fragile the Lilywhites are mentally at this point in time.

Whether Ange Postecoglou🌳 should remain as Tottenham’s manager is a debate that has only intensified since Spurs’ latest setback.

𒅌Gary Lineker suggested Tottenham should stick with Postecoglou for the time being.

However, ওJamie O’Hara feels Ange Postecoglou should get the sack🎃 as he feels the 59-year-old looks out of his depth.

Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham will start winning when injured players return

🔯O’Hara suggested Andoni Iraola to replace Postecoglou💯, who is doing a tremendous job at AFC Bournemouth as well.

♛As things stand, things look like they will continue to take a turn for the worse as Tottenham look far too easy to play against.

🅷However, Ange Postecoglou is confident that once Tottenham’s injured players return to the fold, they will start winning games again.

ꦡPostecoglou said via : “It’s a combination of mental fatigue that some of the players are feeling at the moment, but after that we created enough chances to overcome the deficit.”

✃“Ultimately it is about staying strong, we are going to get significant players back in the next two weeks – that’s all this group needs, they just need some help.”

ꦜ“Once they get their help I’m sure their fortunes will change.”

🔯“The guys coming back will not be low on confidence and they will drive the group.”

Pape Sarr was not fit to start against Leicesterꦐ as well, as Ange Postecoglou continued to drive his point home about how much the returns to fitness of some of his big boys can change their fortunes.

💫“The guys are trying as hard as they can at the moment, they gave everything again today. Some of them probably shouldn’t be out there, but that’s all you can ask for.”

♎“Once we get a couple of players back it will help them enormously. Everyone needs to acknowledge, the club, supporters, myself that the players are giving everything they can.”

🎀Tottenham had 10 players sidelined through injury against Leicester.

Daniel Levy’s Ange Postecoglou’s sack verdict after Tottenham vs Leicester City

ꦉTottenham have not planned to sack Ange Postecoglou൲ despite their defeat against Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side, who entered the fixture having lost seven league games in succession.

🙈Ange Postecoglou has not lost the Tottenham dressing room🧸 yet, which could suggest why he also still feels they are well-capable of turning their season around.

൩Heung-min Son’s view on Tottenham’s defeat to Leicester🍎 when talking to his teammates was a “lack of concentration.”

ꦬHowever, experienced players like James Maddison and Cristian Romero could perhaps bring a sense of leadership that is missing from Tottenham’s displays once they return to full fitness.

The same can be said about 𝓰Micky van de Ven, who could return against Liverpool🦄 in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, which is less than two weeks’ time.
