Put yourself in Ange Postecoglou’s shoes for a moment. The Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool at Anfield on Thursday has been trailed for a good while as a kind of personal D-day. There have been questions about whether the Tottenham manager will even reach it – specifically after dismal Premier League defeats by Everton (away) and Leicester (home).
Postecoglou’s job security has been a major talking point as his team have slid to 14th in the table and the first thing to say is that the Spurs chairman, Daniel Levy, has sacked managers who have been in better positions. The lack of a compelling, available alternative – internally or externally – has helped Postecoglou.
