Speaking ahead of Tottenham Hotspur match against Ipswich on Sunday, club Manchester United Wayne Rooney gave a brutal assessment of ange postecoglou tenure.
He said: “It’s so difficult. It’s very unpredictable. As was saying, you come into Tottenham stadium and you’ve no idea what performance you are going to get or what team you are going to see. Potentially, they could win the game.
“I’ve come and have no idea what is going to happen here, so that is the disappointing thing. Throughout the season, the goals they have conceded, the lack of desire at times. We finished seventh when David Moyes was here, but it never ever, I know Moyes lost his job, but it never felt as bad as what it is now.”
Rooney added: “I think they all are [fighting for their jobs]. Managers, players, coaches, recruitment. The whole club. After the international break they have some difficult games coming up and then they have the Europa cup
“For me, as a player, you have to show you work and that you want to play for this football club. That has to start from today, you can’t just turn it on. It has to start from today.”

Tottenham Hotspur are football’s best example of a living paradox. They are thrilling and frustrating, fantastic and feeble, tremendously troublesome and wickedly woeful. To best demonstrate this on a tangible level, they sit 10th in the standings, yet boast the Premier League’s best goals-scored tally and second-best goal difference, while they have one of the division’s better defensive records.
For Spurs fans, they have barely had time to bask in the warm, undersoil-heated glow their new billion-pound stadium was meant to provide since moving in over half a decade ago. The board were cut-throat with their decision to sack Mauricio Pochettino, but have failed to find a suitable long-term replacement for him since, cycling their way through permanent successors in Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo, Antonio Conte and now Ange Postecoglou.
Success continues to steer clear of this part of north London, and like the many men who came before him, Postecoglou is now under the microscope for failing to deliver. Tottenham were booed off after allowing Ipswich Town their first top-flight win in 22 years on Sunday, halting momentum and sending them into a fifth-successive international break off the back of a disappointing defeat.
The mood around N17 is souring again. Postecoglou has little time to prove he is the right man to lead the club forward.
