Ange Postecoglou to be sacked by Tottenham because something has to give after dismal Leicester show
Another week, another awful Tottenham Hotspur performance in the Premier League and another week of pressure on Ange Postecoglou's shoulders.
While Spurs should qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League on Thursday with a win over Elfsborg - although nothing is guaranteed with this Tottenham team - the league form is ridiculously concerning.
Players like Pedro Porro, Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray, Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min are having to play almost every minute of every game right now. We're relying on teenagers like Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Mikey Moore to do the business given the injury crisis at the club.

Dragusin is just 22, Antonin Kinsky is 21 and only just arrived in a new country playing in a new league, Pape Matar Sarr is only 22 too, but feels like a veteran.
Defeat to a dreadful Leicester side, who had lost their last seven games, made it four straight defeats in the Premier League for Spurs, and six losses in the last seven.
And the form under Postecoglou since those first ten games of last season - his first taste of the Premier League - is highly concerning. Spurs have played 23 games this season and lost 13 of them. It is abysmal.
I like Postecoglou, I think most fans do. He brought belief in a style of football and an excitement we had been sorely lacking in N17. It has been anything but exciting this season though.
Pundits and neutrals may enjoy Spurs games for the open nature of them and the goals they bring. Spurs fans, or at least me anyway, do not. Or at least have not this season. There have been so few occasions where Spurs have been on top of their game and a joy to watch.
The players are knackered, I feel for him, but he's just not getting what he needs to out of them, even if they are still committed to him and playing for him. What we're seeing on the pitch is not good enough and when Spurs go behind I never feel like we're going to get back into a game.
Something has to change and there are plenty of arguments about those changes being in the boardroom. Postecoglou has been calling for help in the transfer window and it has not been forthcoming. He is not the first manager to do so and will not be the last.
But something has to change now. Spurs are in a relegation battle, of that there is no doubt now. And the only thing that can really change immediately, is the head coach. It is an endless cycle, of course and I don't necessarily agree with changing managers every time the going gets tough, but the fact of the matter is we need a change in something and that's the only thing we can actually change right now.
Will any new incoming boss get more out of these players than Postecoglou? Debate about that can rage on for ever, but we simply cannot keep going on like this week after week.
