Australia's first and, so far only English Premier League manager has survived the immediate aftermath of Tottenham's humiliating home defeat to Leicester City, but the pressure on Ange Postecoglou continues to grow. While club chairman Daniel Levy remains the focus of most supporters' ire criticism is rising of Postecoglou's inflexible approach amid a mounting toll of injuries.

Spurs are now 15th in the 20-club league, eight points off the relegation zone after losing nine and winning one of their last 11 Premier League matches. The defeat to Leicester, who had lost their previous seven league games, led England's back pages with headlines such as 'Get Ange out of here', 'How long have I got: who knows?' and 'Oh, mate', the latter a reference to Postecoglou's habit of ending most sentences with the endearment.
Postecoglou is Tottenham's fifth permanent manager in six years. Of the previous four Mauricio Pochettino was sacked despite reaching the Champions League final and four top-four finishes, while Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte were axed with the team seventh, eighth and fourth respectively.
The pressure is firmly on Australian coach Ange Postecoglou after a horror run of injuries and results in the Premier League. The Spurs are just eight points off the relegation zone after losing nine matches and winning one of their last 11. There is recognition, however, that the 59-year-old is handicapped by an injury list that has not only ruled out a raft of first-choice players but has left the remaining ones exhausted after 19 matches in 66 days.
