Spurs are in turmoil. One win in their last ten Premier League games and no home wins in seven, yes seven matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This is the club's worst run on home soil since 2008. The fans have had their say and have rightfully been critical of the performances of the team and Ange Postecoglu, whilst also not forgetting everyone else upstairs too.
One fan in particular that has spoken out is former player Jamie O'Hara. The 38-year-old represented the North Londoners fifty six times in all competitions from 2005 until 2011, and even today is always very opinionated on social media about the club on and off the pitch.
This morning he was on the famous radio channel 'TalkSport' where he expressed his desire for manager Ange Postecoglu to receive the sack, saying "At the end of the day, you cannot keep a manager when you've got relegation form just because you don't know who's going to come in, that's your job as a chairman to get someone to come in."
"Every other team around the relegation zone sacked their manager, Spurs are the only ones that haven't. That to me rings alarm bells and if you think we're not in a relegation battle because we're Tottenham Hotspur then you're in cuckoo land. Spurs are in a relegation fight and they need to pick up points. If we aren't careful then the London derby next season could be Millwall."
It's safe to say that O'Hara isn't exactly wrong. There's always the saying that goes around if a 'big' team starts underperforming, but we've seen plenty of big clubs across the major leagues get relegated. Spurs have to seriously start picking some wins up, especially with fortunes starting to turn for the likes of Everton with two wins out of two under new manager David Moyes, their first being against Spurs, who are now only a solitary point behind the Lilywhites.
The fixtures do not get any easier either, with a trip to the GTech Community Stadium to face Brentford, who have been sublime on their home patch this season, followed by games against Manchester United at home, Ipswich Town away, Manchester City a home and high flying AFC Bournemouth at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This comes with having to balance three other games in separate competitions. Elfsborg at home in Europe, the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool, and a tough game in the FA Cup where they travel to Aston Villa.
