Alan Shearer Shares His Verdict on Postecoglou’s Future at Tottenham

This defeat sparked criticism from Alan Shearer, who highlighted Tottenham’s inconsistency but expressed that Ange Postecoglou is not under serious pressure.

Ipswich Town 2-1 Tottenham: Key Highlights

• Ipswich Goals: Sammie Szmodics’ spectacular overhead kick and Liam Delap’s tap-in.
• Tottenham Response: Rodrigo Bentancur scored in the second half, but Tottenham couldn’t find an equalizer.

Result: Spurs are now in 10th place heading into the international break, a frustrating position for fans expecting more from the North London side.

Shearer: Postecoglou Not Under Pressure

Despite Tottenham’s erratic performance this season, Alan Shearer does not believe Postecoglou’s job is at risk. Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, Shearer acknowledged the team’s inconsistency but pointed out their potential to achieve season goals.

Shearer’s Take: “Typical Spurs though, isn’t it? They beat City, they beat Villa at home, then they lose to Ipswich. But no, I don’t think [Postecoglou’s] under pressure. He’s taken responsibility, and it’s his problem to sort out. But the inconsistency is just there, as it’s been for years.”

Tottenham’s Position in the League and Competitions

Tottenham invested heavily over the summer, acquiring players like Dominic Solanke, Archie Gray, Wilson Odobert, and Lucas Bergvall to bolster their squad. Their objectives remain in sight, as they sit only three points behind third-place Chelsea, are in the Quarter-Finals of the EFL Cup, and hold seventh place in the Europa League.

Objectives: Despite setbacks, Tottenham’s hopes of competing for Champions League qualification and silverware are still alive, though the team’s unpredictability is a growing concern.
