LONDON: Pressure is building up on manager Ange Postecoglou after they conceded a first-half lead and lost 2-1 at home in front of angry fans to struggling Leicester – who had lost all previous seven games.

Defeat left Spurs 15th in the Premier League and on a seven-match winless run, Postecoglou admitted he was unsure over his future, saying: “I’m a football manager and I get judged on results, that is the way of the world.”

Spurs are 15th in the Premier League, having collected 24 points from 23 matches. They are eight points above the relegation zone and are closer to bottom place Southampton (18 points) than they are to league leaders Liverpool (27 points)

They have won only one of their last 11 Premier League matches, winning one, drawing one and losing nine. They have taken four points from the last 33 available.

Tottenham have failed to win any of their last seven Premier League matches – their longest winless streak in the top flight since a nine-game run in 2008. The defeat against Leicester was the first time since a loss to Notts County in 1912 that Spurs have lost at home to a side who had lost their previous seven league matches in a row.

Postecoglou added: “Certainly, something I wanted to try and do when I took on this role was to try to unify the club and create an environment here where we are all focused on the one thing. Obviously it hasn’t worked out that way.

“It’s understandable, like you said, the fans are not happy with our current situation. It is a difficult one to navigate because we need them right now, especially at home to create an atmosphere.”

The former Celtic boss will point to the injuries that have blighted Spurs’ season such as those to Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie.

Postecoglou said: “I have been around long enough to know that some will just judge on where we are at at the moment and rightly so in some respects. It’s not good enough.

“If people want to put context to that they can, if not so be it. From my point of view, I’m still very much stuck on the fact that the players are just giving everything they can. They did on Thursday night, they did today.

“Hopefully over the next 10 days to two weeks we should get some significant players back which I think will help this group a lot. It will give them the boost they need. We have still got some fantastic opportunities this year to make an impact in the second half of this year and I’m sure that will happen.”

Asked if he has enough credit in the bank to still be at the club for when those injured players return, Postecoglou said: “Who knows?”
