Tottenham defender Cristian Romero has backed Ange Postecoglou, while his manager insists he will not change his approach after a hugely disappointing 4-3 defeat by Chelsea.
Spurs led 2-0 within 11 minutes but ended up losing with Cole Palmer netting two penalties – both for fairly needless fouls by Tottenham players.
Postecoglou’s side have only won one of their past seven games in all competitions, losing four of them.
They are in the bottom half of the Premier League table, sitting 11th after 15 games.
Postecoglou is the fifth manager, including caretakers, that Argentina centre-back Romero has played under since arriving in 2021.
The Australian manager has had success at most clubs he has been at – including Celtic – but Tottenham have not won a trophy since the 2008 League Cup.
Romero told Telemundo: “He’s a great coach. We saw it in the first season. In this second one we’ve suffered a lot of injuries.
“Players are the first one to be criticised, then if we lose 10 games, the staff can be changed, but nobody talks about what is actually happening.
“We are very happy with this staff, me and my colleagues. We love how they work and the football they try to play. We’ll try to move on quickly.”
Tottenham, whose chairman has been Daniel Levy since 2001, started last season brightly under new boss Postecoglou but ended up fifth.
