Daniel Levy has been urged to make a decision on Ange Postecoglou's future following Tottenham Hotspur's 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the FA Cup. Unai Emery's side stormed past the Lilywhites at Villa Park on Sunday night, securing a place in the fifth round.

Jacob Ramsey fired the Villans ahead inside the opening minute before Morgan Rogers doubled the lead on the hour mark. Then, in the dying embers of the tie, Mathys Tel pulled one back for Spurs, marking his full debut with a goal.

Despite a late push, the North Londoners couldn't find an equaliser in the final moments. Having lost to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final a few days prior, Postecoglou's side have now crashed out of each of the domestic cup competitions.

So, with that being said, football.london has looked at how the national media reacted to Tottenham's disappointing defeat at Villa Park.

The Mirror

"Yes, the injury list is horrendous but the Tottenham boss has slumped into a losing habit," said Andy Dunn. "It is now eight losses in 14 matches, with only four wins in that period. Manchester United are the Premier League opponents in London on Sunday, with a trip to Ipswich after that. It goes without saying that Postecoglou needs a win.

"As for Emery, who is also dealing with some injury issues, this was an encouraging display from his team after their Premier League defeat at Molineux. With Rashford and Asensio on board, Emery can look forward to the final few months of the season. Ange probably can’t wait for it to end."

The Daily Mail

"One by one the safety nets protecting Ange Postecoglou from a catastrophic fall into footballing oblivion are falling away," said Ian Ladyman. "If Liverpool hacked at a cord in demolishing Postecoglou’s Tottenham in one domestic cup competition last Thursday, then Aston Villa methodically undid a knot or two in the other one at Villa Park.

"Now there is almost nothing left but a long drop down to the darkness for the Tottenham manager. Spurs remain in the Europa League but that’s where the good news begins and ends. The Premier League became an embarrassing and soulless slog long ago. Tottenham, weighed down by diminished confidence and a long injury list, sit in 14th position.

"Tottenham have gone from a ‘must watch’ team to a ‘can’t bear to watch’ team and it’s now up to chairman Daniel Levy in terms of what he wishes to do about it."

The Guardian

"Newsflash: the Tottenham diehards who travelled to Villa Park are rather keen for Daniel Levy to sell up and leave their club," said David Hynter. "The refrain against the chairman pounded throughout this FA Cup tie. What they would also like is something more from their team.

"Spurs can say that they created a few chances and they fought until the end. There was a goal for the new arrival Mathys Tel in stoppage time, which hinted at a ludicrous comeback, but it was just an illusion.

"Villa were far superior, more cohesive, pleasingly hard-running and they can look forward to an appearance in the fifth round for the first time since 2015 thanks to goals from Jacob Ramsey and the outstanding Morgan Rogers. The only issue for Unai Emery was the profligacy of his team. They could have won by a fistful."

The Telegraph

"Ange Postecoglou’s vow that he 'always' delivers silverware in his second season will now rest entirely on the Europa League, after another avenue to a trophy disappeared for Tottenham," said John Percy. "Postecoglou is coming under intense pressure after a week in which Tottenham have been knocked out of both domestic cup competitions.

"It was chairman Daniel Levy who was once again the target for criticism from Tottenham’s supporters, but you have to wonder just how much longer this will be allowed to continue for the club’s manager.

"His team are seriously depleted by injuries, yet they rarely threatened an Aston Villa defence that is also so short of centre-backs that two defensive midfielders were at the heart of the back-four."
