With Ange Postecoglou on the brink at Tottenham Hotspur, here are five potential next moves for the sack-threatened Spurs head

Postecoglou has repeatedly requested "help" for his depleted squad in the form of new signings this month, with the head coach set to be without no fewer than 10 players through injury for Thursday's Europa League tie against Hoffenheim, while four others are ineligible.

Postecoglou went all-out attack after the break and they got back to within one thanks to late goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison, but Tottenham still left empty-handed and sunk to their fifth defeat in six league games, with their only point on that run coming in a draw at home to relegation-threatened Wolves.

Tottenham Hotspur are struggling immensely this season, and there are now suggestions that Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou is beginning to frustrate some of his players

Tottenham have been handed a huge injury boost with Cristian Romero returning to training. Spurs have been decimated by injuries this season, with Sunday's defeat at Everton seeing eight first-team players missing.

Tottenham vice captain Cristian Romero has provided Ange Postecoglou with a timely boost after he took part in training ahead of Thursday's trip to Hoffenheim. Romero has only played once over the last two months due to toe and groin issues respectively during a spell where Spurs have repeatedly been without key personnel.

Sacking Postecoglou would probably mean Levy turning to another temporary solution (two-time interim boss Ryan Mason is on the coaching staff), which history suggests would leave the club in stasis until a new permanent coach and another brand new project could begin in earnest.

This is the case for the defence of Ange Postecoglou although given Tottenham Hotspur have conceded 16 goals in their last six Premier League matches – including three against an Everton side who had only scored 15 times in their previous 20 league games – that may not be the wisest choice of words right now.

Tottenham have won just one of their last 10 games in the Premier League and started this weekend 14th in the table, just eight points above the relegation zone. Postecoglou needs all of his injured players back, and one of them is set to make his return against Everton.

Ange Postecoglou is now heavily odds-on in the next Premier League manager to leave 'sack race' after Tottenham capitulated to lose at Everton on Sunday.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou said it is his responsibility to turn around a miserable Premier League season after a 3-2 defeat to Everton on Sunday, which helped the Toffees pull clear of the relegation zone.
