Ange Postecoglou responds to angry Tottenham fans as sack fears grow after Leicester loss

Ange Postecoglou insists that he's still the right man for Tottenham following another dreadful defeat - but admits that his position will be judged on results. Spurs were beaten 2-1 at home by struggling Leicester, who climbed out of the relegation zone with their first victory in eight Premier League games. Richarlison gave Tottenham a first-half lead before quick-fire goals from Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss turned the match on its head shortly after the break.
The result piles more pressure on Postecoglou, whose side have lost six of their last seven league games and remain 15th in the table. But the Aussie-Greek boss believes that results 'will turn', telling Sky Sports after furious fans booed his team off at full-time: "Yeah, it hurts. It hurts a lot. The players gave everything again. We are going to look at a lot of things, but in terms of effort I can't ask anymore of this group, things just didn't go our way today.
"We created some good opportunities and unfortunately things just didn't drop for us because not because the players weren't trying and that's the main thing. The players are giving everything they can. That is all we can ask for as a football club and me as a manager. They are trying their hardest and that is all anyone can ask for.
"You can analyse the goals, they were disappointing goals for us to concede, but I thought we had enough chances in the game to come out on top. When you're in this situation, they are trying as hard as they can and sometimes that doesn't give you he clarity in decision making.
