Tottenham Hotspur's recent 4-3 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League has put manager Ange Postecoglou under scrutiny. Despite taking an early two-goal lead with goals from Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski, Spurs conceded four goals before Son Heung-min scored late. This marked the 11th instance where Tottenham lost a Premier League match after leading by two or more goals, a record unmatched by any other team.

Cristian Romero, who has played under five different managers since joining Tottenham in August 2021, expressed confidence in Postecoglou's abilities. "He's a great coach. We saw it in the first season. In this second one, we've suffered a lot of injuries," Romero told Telemundo. The Argentine defender believes that despite the challenges, Postecoglou can handle the pressure.

Spurs have managed only one win in their last seven matches across all competitions, a 4-0 triumph against Manchester City. They currently sit 11th in the league standings after losing their last two top-flight games. Despite these setbacks, Romero and his teammates remain supportive of the coaching staff and appreciate their approach to football.

Postecoglou's tenure at Tottenham has seen him achieve a win rate of 49.06% in the Premier League, securing victory in 26 out of 53 matches and averaging 1.62 points per game. His first season was promising as Spurs finished fifth after a strong start. However, the club is still seeking its first trophy since winning the EFL Cup in 2008.

Romero highlighted that players often face criticism first when results are poor, but he emphasized that changes in staff don't always address underlying issues. "Players are the first ones to be criticised, then if we lose 10 games, the staff can be changed, but nobody talks about what is actually happening," he stated.

The team's current form reflects ongoing struggles with consistency and injuries impacting performance. Nevertheless, Romero remains optimistic about moving forward quickly with Postecoglou at the helm. The focus now is on improving results and climbing up the league table while maintaining faith in their manager's vision for success.

As Tottenham navigates through this challenging period, fans hope for a turnaround that will see them return to winning ways and potentially end their long trophy drought.
