Ange Postecoglou wanted to stay the lead at Tottenham Hotspur despite the bad form of the club.
Spurs blew a 1-0 half-time lead against Leicester on Sunday to suffer a fourth consecutive league-defeat, while their only top win came in their last 11 games on the bottom placed side Southampton.
Tottenham suffered back-to-back defeats against struggling parties, beaten in Everton-in a match in which they were 3-0-secured by the defeat of Leicester, who had previously lost seven consecutive league matches.
Their alarming Premier League form, which brought them closer to the lower three than the upper half of the table, has put Postcoglou under enormous pressure, but as usual it is expected to be in the club with the Spurs boss that is expected to be on its plus -Pre-Match press conference On Wednesday prior to the game the Europa League Home Game Against Elfsborg.
There is recognition that Spurs, who are defeats in their last eight games, are still in the mix to win a first trophy in 17 years with the North London side in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup , the FA Cup fourth and on course to reach the last 16 of the Europa League.
Results against Man City and Liverpool in the Carabao Cup have offered a look at what is possible under Postecoglou and everyone at the club works together to improve the consistency to prevent more embarrassing results, such as the defeats suffered against Ipswich and Leicester.
There is also a belief that will improve the League results as injured players return.
Internally at Spurs there is sympathy for Postecoglou with the injury creature in the club.
They are hit by injuries, with James Maddison the newest player to be put aside, who become members of an absent list that extends to double digits. Postecoglou also revealed that both Richarlison and Pape Sarr, in an ideal world, would not have started against Leicester, but those are their injuries, he had no choice but to play.
Almost four weeks in the transfer star of January, their only senior signing is the 21-year-old goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, but Spurs will ideally help to sign Postecoglou and at least one player before the transfer deadline of next Monday, depending on the recording of the correct one player.
In the past year, changes have been made to the recruitment department and all movements in the market are made to prevent panic and to help in the long term.
Postecoglou rejected questions about his future after Tottenham's new “low” against Leicester, but retains the belief that the club can still achieve something special this season.
Home fans put Spurs chairman Daniel Levy in the second half and while angry full-time greeted after this last defeat left them 15th in the competition, Postecoglou felt, after the game, that his exhausted team continued to give everything for a period of 17 luminaires in Two months in the midst of a continuously growing injury crisis.
“I really believe in this group of players. Even today, what I asked of them, some of the performances were greatly seen what they have experienced. For me that is all positive, but in the end the fact that we have one more lost game or Football, the Focus is on that, “Postecoglou reflected.
“I have always felt that the players are still very dedicated to what we do. That is important for me because I believe firmly in it.
“This is probably as low as we have been this year so far, but I still think we can do something very special in these last three months and I think these players believe that.
“At the moment it is very difficult to visualize that if you think of the current circumstances in which we find ourselves. You just have to look at our absence today and they will all come back.
“Even Madders (James Maddison) missed today, he was so good recently.
“All these little things that do not allow us to get a momentum, I am sure that will change and if they change, I am really sure that we can have an impact.”
Redknapp: The history of Spurs means that ange must find results
Sky Sports' Jamie Redknapp:
“I will also say that the manager needs a little help.
“They are on what we call bare bones. Find a few loans for him. They brought in a keeper. Yes, they probably had to do that. But just give him a little support. You know, you have now lost Solanke And you have lost other midfield players.
“It just feels like the manager needs a little help. Needs a little support if you believe in him. He has huge games coming.
“I think we all watch the match against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.
“That feels like a huge game for his Tottenham Future, you know, and I think he will still be the manager until that time. If they were to go out, I think there will be many questions because there will be many questions Because this form is simply not possible, especially with the history of other managers who leave. “
Carra: If you release Postecoglou, who will bring you in?
Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher:
“I am in a situation where you, who would bring you in? I think you should allow them to get his players back. They are not being degraded.
'Allow them to have the cup competitions. Who knows, the second half of the season, you get your two center backs back, Solanke back. You can have a decent run on that Europa League, because I don't think there is great strength in that Europa League.
“And then you go from there. I don't think they should change that at any time. Let them get his players back and go at the end of the season.”
Who is the fault of the misery of Tottenham? Levy in the shooting line
Analysis by Sky Sports' Nick Wright:
The first songs of “We Want Levy Out” were heard for a long time before the implosion that Spurs convicted until their last defeat against Leicester on Sunday. The home fans looked their dissatisfaction early in the first half. What happened later, simply raised the volume.
It was of course the controversial Ange Postecoglou, who then had to face the cameras. That is the fate of the head coach. But he is not the most important target for the anger of the supporters from home. Chairman Daniel Levy is the man in the shooting line.
