Tottenham suffered an embarrassing 4-3 defeat against Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
Ange Postecoglou’s side took an early 2-0 lead against Enzo Maresca’s men, thanks to goals from Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski.
Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella slipped in the build up to both the Tottenham goals and was largely the reason behind Spurs scoring two early goals.
The Blues came back into the match thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho, Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez, while completely dominating the North London club.
It was the Palmer show in the second half as he scored twice and provided an assist to guide his team to a famous win against their London rivals.
Postecoglou and Spurs received heavy criticism after the defeat and rightly so since they lost a two goal lead at home.
Football pundit and former Tottenham player Jamie O’Hara was disappointed with how Postecoglou’s side played.
He blamed the manager for the defeat against Chelsea and took to social media to claim that it is time for the manager to leave the club.
Writing on his X account, O’Hara said:
“I’m done with this garbage we are a disgrace, 2-0 up and get battered we have zero clue of how to win games.
“I’m sorry it can’t go on like this, time to go”
It was another match in which Spurs lost a two goal lead and ultimately lost the match.
Earlier in the season, they were two goals up against Brighton but still lost the match 3-2.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is struggling to find solutions
Spurs are without a win in their last three matches in the Premier League.
Since defeating Pep Guardiola’s side 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium, they have drawn against Fulham and lost against both Bournemouth and Chelsea.
In the 15 Premier League matches they have played this season, Spurs have tasted defeat a whopping seven times.
Only the three teams in the relegation places have lost more Premier League matches than Spurs this season.
Jamie Carragher flabbergasted by what Ange Postecoglou said after Tottenham defeat
Tottenham Hotspur have suffered back-to-back defeats after losing 4-3 against Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.
In a thrilling London derby clash, Spurs once again squandered a two-goal lead and ended up conceding four.
The decision to start with Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero completely backfired after both of them picked up injuries.
However, it was Tottenham’s approach to the game that drew criticism from the pundits. Alan Pardew rightly said that the Spurs were so open that Chelsea could dominate the midfield and come back into the game.
Jamie Carragher (and other pundits) said on Sky Sports (has been saying for long) that Ange Postecoglou needs to be more pragmatic. Spurs are one-dimensional, and it will only hurt them in the long run.
What Jamie Carragher said about Postecoglou’s comments
Postecoglou doesn’t feel the need to change their style. He always stands by his attacking philosophy, even though it costs his team goals.
“It was good enough to get us ahead in the game so I am not sure why we should change our approach,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live on Sunday.
Carragher was far from impressed by what Postecoglou said in his post-match interviews.
The popular pundit said on Sky Sports: “The manager accepts it because he keeps telling us he won’t change.
“He said something in his interviewer how well they played and he said remember we are our best and we still cause teams problems.
“I can’t imagine any manager I played for Liverpool if we conceded four in a game would say in the interview that we played well.”
Spurs need to bounce back to winning ways
Postecoglou stressed the need to sign new players in January after the game. Spurs are already without Ben Davies due to injury, and now Romerto could join him on the sidelines. They probably need one more defender.
The Spurs boss also bemoaned that they probably needed a calmer approach.
Tottenham have picked just one win in their past seven games, and they need to do work extremely hard to turn it around.
Spurs have already lost seven out of 15 games this season in the Premier League.
Daniel Levy has sacked 13 managers during his time at Spurs, but removing Postecoglou from his position now will not solve major problems.
