It seems Ange Postecoglou still has the support of the board and his players, but patience among supporters is wearing thin.
The Greco-Australian side remain plagued by injuries and there have undoubtedly been extenuating circumstances for Tottenham's woeful run over the last two months. Their problems on the availability front have seemingly worsened before Thursday Europa League clash with Hoffenheim, but Postecoglou should bring back some of his players next month.
This competition is crucial for the Spurs boss, and a place in the top eight would be ideal given that a beaten side will avoid two extra play-off games in a bid to reach the round of 16 .
With Tottenham currently ninth in the league stage table, Thursday's clash is important. Here's how they could line up against Hoffenheim.
GK: Brandon Austin – Antonin Kinsky is ineligible and Fraser Forster has not featured in a matchday squad this year. Austin could make his second start for the club with number one Guglielmo Vicario also out.
RB: Pedro Porro – It's been a miserable campaign for Porro so far, but the Spaniard has stepped up since the Everton defeat and continued to support his manager. Postecoglou could do with an increase in form from his right-back.
CB: Radu Dragusin – The Romania international was an injury concern after Sunday's game, but he trained ahead of his flight to Germany and should continue in the squad.
CB: Archie Gray – Gray was used in a hybrid role at the weekend, with Postecoglou unlikely to opt for a second three out of possession on Thursday. The young man must return to the role he has become known for.
LB: Ben Davies – With Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon both out, Davies, who returned from injury at the weekend, is expected to start at left-back with Destiny Udogie on the sidelines.
CM: Rodrigo Bentancur – Bentancur has been out for several weeks with a concussion, and has struggled to be available for most of 2024/25. Spurs could desperately do with some stability from their classy Uruguayan midfielder.
CM: Lucas Bergvall – The Swedish teenager has been a standout amid Spurs' turmoil and will continue in the side with the latest injury-prone Pape Sarr at Tottenham.
CM: James Maddison – Maddison's numbers are pretty impressive this season, but Spurs need more from their playmaker amid their ongoing struggles. He has not come to the fore since shining at the Etihad.
RW: Dejan Kulusevski – Kulusevski's best work has come in a central position this season, but Postecoglou is likely to be forced to use him again on Thursday in the absence of Brennan Johnson. The 24-year-old scored a beautiful goal at Goodison Park.
ST: Richarlison – With Dominic Solanke out, Tottenham are looking for another £60m arrival to get back on their feet. Number one priority: stay in shape. Priority number two: score some.
LW: Mikey Moore – Son Heung-min's role should be reduced. It's time for Moore to step up after producing a scintillating display at Goodison Park on Sunday. The teenager has the talent to ignite this destruction Tottenham the team.
