Postecoglou believes he retains the support of Spurs fans

Ange Postecoglou feels he still has the support of Tottenham fans despite the club sitting 11th in the Premier League.

Yesterday’s 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest means Spurs have lost four of their last five league games ahead of Sunday’s home clash with Wolves.

Postecoglou has faced criticism for refusing to change his approach, vowing to stick to his all-out attacking philosophy despite refusing to reap the rewards.

Full focus on Sunday.

Despite their struggles, Spurs fans have yet to turn against the Australian and he is confident he will retain their support.

“They love their football club, they care about their football club and they want their football club to succeed. They make those feelings and emotions visible,” said Postecoglou.

“Since I’ve been here, I’ve felt nothing but support. I still feel that support. I will continue to do what I think is right to bring success to this football club, that is not changing.

“The task is difficult at the moment because of our situation, but like most things that are quite difficult to go through, it is only temporary, we will get through it and come out stronger.”

Postecoglou has not been helped by a long injury list with Ben Davies now set to miss “a few weeks” and Radu Dragusin struggling to be fit for the weekend after limping off at the City Ground. First choice centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are also out.

Wolves are enjoying the rebound of the new manager

It’s not ideal with a reborn Wolves heading to north London on the back of two wins under new manager Vitor Pereira, including a 2-0 defeat by Manchester United at Molineux last night.

Postecoglou said of his Portuguese counterpart: “Another good challenge for us. They have a new manager in Vitor (Pereira) who I know quite well as we have crossed paths in Asia a few times. They obviously got a great result last night. They definitely have quality players who can hurt you. We saw that last year.

“A really important game for us at home. Listen, we’re getting through this period as best we can, but we’ve definitely got to go out there on Sunday, play our football and get a result to make sure we get some momentum going into the new year.”
