Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou watched on as his team lost to Arsenal today and the Aussie could be starting to feel the heat from above.
Spurs have won just one of their opening four games and are as good as out of any sort of title race they might have wanted to get involved in.
For Postecoglou, who was backed to the tune of more than £100m in the summer, it was yet another disappointing performance to witness from his Spurs players.
The goal for Arsenal came from a set-piece as Gabriel headed home and during that goal, Gary Neville picked up on how nervy goalkeeper Vicario looked.
And according to former Arsenal man Matt Upson, Tottenham boss Postecoglou is starting to look like a man under pressure.
Ange Postecoglou under pressure at Tottenham after Arsenal defeat
Commentating on the game for the BBC, Upson spoke on Tottenham’s defensive problems and suggested that as time ticks by, Ange Postecoglou is going to start feeling the pressure.
“Tottenham are so susceptible defensively that it’s a real problem. They are not being clinical enough either which is what the real hammer blow is,” Upson said.
“If you’re going to be that offensive and that open and free, you’ve got to bang the ball in the back of the net and they’re not doing that.
“Dominic Solanke is having a rough start. He was playing against two of the best today. The pressure is going to start to build a bit on the manager.”
Postecoglou will stick to his guns
Mikel Arteta spoke of how he loves the fact Postecoglou has a philosophy and sticks to it and in a way, it is very admirable.
However, it is going to cost him at times and Upson is right here, the pressure will always start to build at a club like Tottenham if results fail.

Sure, Ange will stick with what he knows and he will always come across as if he’s not under pressure.
But as time goes by and results continue to be inconsistent, the pressure from above will come and Postecoglou could end up being the latest Spurs coach to get the bullet.
