Enze Postecoglou is already in crisis.
Football London reported on the 19th (Korea time) that Postecoglou's appearance after being eliminated from the Carabao Cup shows Tottenham's worst moment.
Nottingham, led by Postecoglou, was eliminated in the third round of the English League Cup in the 2025-2026 season against Swansea City at Swansea Dotcom Stadium in Swansea, England, on the 18th. It's a shocking elimination. Nottingham were seventh in the league last season, but they lost their trophy opportunity this season when they collapsed to Swansea, a Championship (second division).
There has not been a problem since the beginning. Nottingham took the lead by scoring two goals in the first half alone. Igor Jeju took the lead with his performance. But it collapsed in the second half. Cameron Burgess scored following Um Ji-sung's corner in the 23rd minute of the second half, and later turned the game around with an additional goal from Jeanne Biport Park and Burgess in the 3rd minute of the second half.

Postecoglou said "We had to finish them off, and we had many opportunities to do so, but some decisions didn't go in our favour"I think the players are a little comfortable, and I think they need to know the warning signs. We thought the game would end naturally like that, and we paid a big price for it. We need to improve"I blamed the players.
Football London said: 'Postecoglou strongly criticised the players after the defeat against Swansea. This was similar to the worst defeat he had as Tottenham manager. He explained: 'Last year, we were leading 2-0 against Brighton and experienced the worst defeat with three goals scored.

The BBC highlighted fans' reviews of Nottingham, saying it was `too early to press the panic button, although fans have had an ominous start.' Some fans voiced strong criticism. One fan commented "It's absolutely ridiculous to appoint a really bad coach. He's an trying manager, but he's not talented at all in the top leagues. Coach Anze Postecoglou pointed out that it is not right to accuse the players of being `too complacent.'
Tottenham fans have also come under fire. According to Football London, Tottenham fans are "typical." have no ability to change strategies to suit situations", criticizing Postecoglou's consistent tactics.
Meanwhile, Postecoglou was named in the game's rankings immediately after his last defeat against Arsenal. If you don't rebound quickly, you can't rule out the possibility that Postecoglou's hard clock will indeed flow again.
