Tottenham Hotspur has lost 8 of the last 11 Premier League games, and the poor performance makes relegation a worrying prospect.

On January 27, a match of the 23rd round of the Premier League was held at Tottenham 's home ground, where they faced Leicester City, which also had a poor record. This match was seen by the outside world as a "relegation battle" because both teams are currently in the lower reaches of the league. However, Tottenham, who had the home advantage and was stronger, failed to seize the opportunity and was eventually reversed 1:2 after leading by a goal. After this loss, Tottenham has only achieved a poor record of 1 win, 2 draws and 8 losses in the past 11 Premier League games, and the team is under great pressure.

Tottenham's poor performance has already disappointed fans. Statistics show that the team has only gained 5 points in the past 11 league games and is currently hovering at the bottom of the standings at 15th place, just a few points above the relegation zone. Although there is no worry of relegation in the short term, such a poor performance has almost made the team's original goal of competing for a European Cup spot this season come to naught. If Tottenham cannot adjust its status in time, it will not only miss the European Cup, but may even refresh its lowest league ranking in recent years.

For the fans, this record is far from Tottenham's traditional strength and expectations. As a team that has been among the top four in the Premier League many times in the past few seasons, they have repeatedly fallen into a trough this season. The fans' dissatisfaction has gradually heated up, and coach Postecoglou has also been under great pressure to sack.

Tottenham's predicament is not accidental, and the problem of strong offense and weak defense is particularly prominent. This season, the team still has a certain threat on the offensive end, but the defensive end is full of loopholes, resulting in opponents easily scoring in many games. In particular, the long-term absence of two main defenders due to injuries has dealt a heavy blow to the team's defense. In addition, the team's overall lineup is not deep enough, and there is a lack of effective substitutes when the injury wave hits, which further weakens its competitiveness.

The tactics of coach Postecoglou have also been widely questioned. In the match against Leicester City, although Tottenham took the initiative in the early stages and scored the first goal, the tactical adjustment in the second half was obviously inappropriate, and the opponent eventually scored two goals in a row to complete the reversal. The shortcomings at the tactical level have exacerbated the team's current predicament and also made Postecoglou's coaching ability criticized.

The next game will be crucial for Tottenham. The team not only needs to get rid of the current downturn as soon as possible, but also solve the problem of imbalance between offense and defense through personnel adjustments and tactical optimization. If coach Postecoglou cannot improve the team's performance in the short term, his position as coach is likely to be lost.

The competition in the Premier League this season is extremely fierce, and Tottenham is currently on the brink of crisis. How to seek a breakthrough in adversity not only tests the ability of the coaching staff, but also places higher demands on the players' mental state and game commitment. For this once ambitious Premier League team, time is running out to get out of trouble.
