I don't know why everyone is giving Ange such grief. Tottenham are just not a good side anymore, and they haven't been for a long time. Not his fault.

Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham
According to Opta's supercomputer, Tottenham Hotspur's most likely finish in the Premier League in 2024-25 is where they currently sit - 14th.
They have a 24.3% chance of ending the season in the lower mid-table.
What's more worrying for Spurs fans is the likelihood of finishing in the top half. It's hardly shooting for the stars but the latest supercomputer calculations have the chances of Ange Postecoglou's side finishing in the top half at just 1.4%.
They actually have a higher percentage chance of finishing one spot above the drop in 17th (5.2%) than they do finishing in the top half.
Should they end the season 12th or below, which seems increasingly likely, Spurs will achieve their worst Premier League finish since the 2003-04 season, where they ended the year 14th with 45 points.
Thanks for getting in touch, both.
Football moves so fast, doesn't it? Remember when Tottenham went down to nine men months ago and we were praising Postecoglou for sticking with his Plan A high-pressing system.
Now he's "stiflingly rigid".

When Ange came we were all wishing him the best but the play is so predictable and stiflingly rigid. Teams know what they'll get week in, week out. Both the fans and the players look like they've had enough; I know I have.

Fair play to Ange if he was trying to make a point. The guys just been hammered by our fans and his sub (at that point) had paid off. That said I don’t think he was….. I think he speaks the truth and what he said was what he was doing

Be interesting to hear your thoughts on the ear-cupping gesture.
Are you one of those fans who, as Postecoglou says, was "reading into it that he was trying to make a point".
Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham
When asked about the incident where he appeared to cups his ears to the Spurs fans, manager Ange Postecoglou said: "Jeez mate, it's incredible how things get interpreted. We'd just scored, I just wanted to hear them cheer. Because we'd been through a tough time, and I thought it was a cracking goal.
"I wanted them to get really excited. I felt at that point we could potentially go on and win the game. I just felt momentum was on our [side]. It doesn't bother me. It's not the first time they've booed my substitutions or my decisions. That's fine, they're allowed to do that.
"But we'd just scored a goal, just scored an equaliser, I was just hoping we could get some excitement. If people want to read into that that somehow I'm trying to make a point about something, like I said, we'd been through a tough time, but I just felt there was a bit of a momentum shift there.
"If they get really behind the lads, I thought we had the momentum to finish on top of them."

I’m not a Spurs fan but Big Ange has looked filled with regret about his career choices for quite some time. He’s looked a man actively hoping to get sacked and paid off since before Christmas. Hasn’t gelled with the fans, looks constantly miserable and his teams just haven’t performed. I can’t believe I’m adding fuel to a managerial change bonfire but he looks like he already knows he won’t be there past May.

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou is looking more isolated than ever.
The Australian directed a brief clap towards the furious travelling away fans from near the halfway line following his side's 1-0 loss at Chelsea but, by then, it could be argued the damage had already been done.
Enzo Fernandez's second-half header was enough to inflict a 16th defeat of the season on Tottenham and leave them 14th in the Premier League - 10 points away from the top 10 - and the signs are growing some fans have had enough.
Chants of "you don't know what you're doing" came from the away end after midfielder Lucas Bergvall was replaced by Pape Sarr in the 65th minute.
Remarkably, Sarr found the net with an excellent long-range strike just four minutes later, leading Postecoglou to cup his ear and turn to the away end, only for VAR to then rule out the goal for a foul on Moises Caicedo.

As a Spurs fan I am used to losing at Stamford Bridge. Yesterday was expected, but after weeks off and all the players back we offered nothing. The performance is much worse than the result. No idea what the pattern of play is, no urgency on transition. Ange has had his time and it’s up.

Enzo Fernandez scored as Chelsea beat Tottenham to move into the Premier League's top four and boost their hopes of Champions League football next season.
Defeat for Spurs piled more pressure on head coach Ange Postecoglou - whose side stay 14th, and remain on course to finish outside the top 10 for the first time since 2008.
Chelsea dominated and were rewarded in the 50th minute when Fernandez headed home Palmer's inch-perfect delivery.
Moises Caicedo swept a crisp volley past Guglielmo Vicario moments later, but the goal was ruled out for a marginal offside in the build-up following a four-minute VAR review.
Tottenham then had an equaliser ruled out after substitute Pape Matar Sarr fired in from 20 yards out.
Referee Craig Pawson, advised by VAR to have a look at the pitchside monitor, overturned his decision after watching the Spurs midfielder catch Caicedo with his studs before taking aim.
I'm waiting for things to get spicey in the Get Involves.
Luckily for you guys I'm in a very calm and level-headed mood.
I had another radio-playing taxi driver this morning, although this time instead of noughties bangers it was all classical.

The floor is yours. We'll be focusing on Tottenham's form and Ange Postecoglou's future.
As always, we want to hear your thoughts. Are you Ange in - or out?
Morning everyone, I reckon today's going to be really fun.
There was so much drama in last night's match.
Chelsea edged past Tottenham 1-0. VAR disallowed two goals. And Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou appeared to cup his ear towards his own supporters after a Pape Sarr equaliser - only for that leveller to eventually be ruled out!
