Tottenham's poor Premier League season continued on Boxing Day, with Nottingham Forest winning 1-0 at the City Ground to pile more pressure on Ange Postecoglou. The Australian knows his side must do better if they're to finish in the Champions League qualifying positions come the end of the campaign.

Quoted by The Daily Mail, Ange Postecoglou continues to have the full backing of the Tottenham squad, with all players supporting him. He has always been clear about his philosophy, as seen in a past interview where he discussed the lessons learned from his time as manager of Australia's U-20s in 2007.

Ange Postecoglou has admitted that Tottenham Hotspur “need to reinforce” their squad in the January transfer window. Spurs have been hit by an injury crisis with seven players unavailable including first-choice centre-backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero as well as goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.

As the mist rolled in from the River Trent, Nottingham Forest’s magical season continues but the gloom is gathering around Ange Postecoglou.

Ange Postecoglou has led Tottenham Hotspur to their worst half-season since 2008/09 after their 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
