TOTTENHAM...BOX OFFICE TO FALL GUYS

Top at the end of October but now pressure is on Big Ange

- JOHN CROSS

ANGE POSTECOGLOU raised expectation levels with his flying start at Tottenham.

But a shocking slump in form has burst the bubble of optimism and left Spurs fans wondering what on earth has gone wrong.

Tottenham led the Premier League table by five points after winning at Crystal Palace on October 27.

That night, Match of the Day reported that no team had won so many points at the start of a Premier League season and then missed out on a Champions League place.

Step forward, Tottenham Hotspur. They look set to miss out on a place in the top four after a run of four straight defeats, their worst losing streak in 20 years.

Spurs were the early-season pacesetters, who took 26 points from their opening 10 games, and 'Ange Ball' was fresh, exciting and different.

But their last 10 games have yielded just 13 points and raised questions over whether Postecoglou is the right man after all.
