ANGE POSTECOGLOU has been warned of "unrest" in his Tottenham camp - after Declan Rice delivered a humiliating verdict. Rice reckons Arsenal "should have scored 10" in a 2-1 comeback victory that left Spurs with one win in nine Premier League games. Postecoglou looked just as downbeat as every assessment of Tottenham's performance.

And ex-Spurs winger Aaron Lennon believes the manager would be under even fiercer pressure were it not for their Carabao Cup run. Tottenham take a 1-0 lead to Liverpool for their semi-final second leg on February 6. And after seeing Spurs slump at the Emirates, Lennon said: "This puts a lot of unrest in that camp.

"If they weren't in the Carabao Cup semi-finals there would be big problems. But having needed extra time to see off fifth-tier Tamworth in the FA Cup three days earlier, Postecoglou admitted Tottenham were "nowhere near good enough" against their biggest rivals in the North London derby.

Spurs have picked up just nine points from a possible 27, the only win in that dire run being a 5-0 romp at bottom club Southampton on December 15. Their fuming fans have seen only one victory at Arsenal in the past 32 visits. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS.

And Tottenham's 24-point tally from 21 games this season means they are closer to Southampton's six-point total than to to the Gunners' haul of 43. Dominic Solanke's own goal and Leandro Trossard's flashing finish overturned Son Heung-min's opener on Wednesday night.
