Ange Postecoglou named his playing eleven as Tottenham aim to beat Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

He opted to leave Dejan Kulusevski on the bench with Brennan Johnson and Mathys Tel both starting.

Pressure is mounting on the Australian with the fans already vocally voicing their frustrations.

Here's how fans reacted to the lineup:

Postecoglou could be managing his last Tottenham game

The Europa League quarter-final second leg against Frankfurt could be Postecoglou’s final match as Tottenham's manager due to his dismal Premier League performance and mounting pressure from fans and the board.

Spurs sit 15th in the league, having lost 17 of 31 games, with only three away wins in Europe over the last 14 matches, signalling a catastrophic season.

The 1-1 first-leg draw at home, despite Spurs creating numerous chances, hands Frankfurt a slight advantage, especially with their strong Bundesliga form and intimidating Deutsche Bank Park atmosphere.

Spurs fans are done with Ange Postecoglou

A loss would likely end Spurs’ Europa League hopes - their last chance for silverware and Champions League qualification - intensifying scrutiny on Postecoglou.

His strained relationship with fans, highlighted by a confrontational gesture during the Chelsea loss, further jeopardises his position.

Critics argue a defeat would necessitate a managerial change, with names like Andoni Iraola and Thomas Frank linked as replacements.

If Spurs lose, Postecoglou should be sacked because his high-intensity style has failed to deliver consistent results, and the club cannot afford another trophyless season.

The board must act decisively to salvage Spurs’ future, as persisting with Postecoglou risks further decline and fan alienation.
