As Harvey Elliot scored Liverpool's fourth goal of the afternoon inside 60 minutes, Spurs fans began to vent their frustrations at yet another leaky defensive performance. Postecoglou, once praised for his incredibly attacking tactics, has come under huge scrutiny for failing to adapt his approach to one that is a little more pragmatic. Despite two consolation goals from Son Heung-min and Richarlison narrowing the final score-line to a more respectable 4-2, the Spurs fans were upset with the nature of the early collapse.

Nigerian filmmaker Imoh Umoren argued that Postecoglou has to change his approach. He posted on X: "If Ange doesn’t learn to adapt he will be fired. His arrogance is like that of a child. Respect your opponent and stop using the same tactics that has been found out every weekend."
Spurs fan, @Jackocal, could not hide his anger as he wrote: "Oli Skipp on when we’re 4-0 down, f**k off. Ange out. I’m done with this s**t. He’s lost his f*cking mind."
Another Spurs fan Karl Banner shared the sentiment: "20 years since Spurs lost 4 prem games in a row! We aren’t just getting beaten we are getting battered weekly! PROGRESS MATE."
It is fair to say rival fans, meanwhile, were loving the meltdown.
Arsenal fan @CarlBovis said: "Don't worry Spurs fans, you've still got the 'We lost to City so Arsenal can't win the League' Cup to play for… 🤣"
@BenKay found humour in the downfall of Postecoglou's side since their early season promise. He said: "London Manager of the Year losing four straight games by an aggregate score of 14-2, is it? And the London Goalkeeper of the Year shipping all those goals, eh? The hilarity of #ANGEout later on will be a delight."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Football fans can be incredibly reactionary at the best of times, but there have been a number of warning signs coming for Spurs and Postecoglou in recent months. The Australian coach showed his attack-at-all-costs approach earlier in the season in their nine-man 4-1 defeat to Chelsea – and was given huge praise. However, with the goals drying up and the defence remaining just as poor, it cannot be surprising that some Spurs fans are starting to lose faith in Postecoglou. Yet, the improvement the side has made overall this season means the Aussie will likely remain in charge.
GettyWHAT NEXT FOR SPURS?
Spurs face Burnley next weekend in what represents a must-win game if they want to remain in touching distance of qualifying for the Champions League. They then have the chance to help their bitter rivals Arsenal by stopping Manchester City's charge to the title next Tuesday – although Spurs fans may be slightly split on the approach to that game.
