Nottingham forest vs Tottenham: Can you believe what was said after boxing boxing day defeat?

‘Nick him’: Jamie O’Hara calls for Tottenham to sack Ange Postecoglou and names the manager he wants in

Tottenham Hotspur have suffered yet another defeat in the Premier League.

Spurs are having a really poor season. Ange Postecoglou’s men have lost nine of their first 18 league games and remain 11th in the table.

Their latest defeat came at the hands of Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day. A first-half Anthony Elanga goal sealed a win for Nuno Espirito Santo against his old club.

Spurs fans are all disappointed, and some of them are even turning on Postecoglou. Jamie O’Hara has now suggested a possible replacement for the Australian.

Jamie O’Hara suggests Marco Silva to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham

Postecoglou deserves praise for the work he has done at Tottenham.

The Australian was appointed as the Spurs boss in the summer of 2023, and he inherited a squad that had played defensive football under Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho.

To make things worse, he lost Harry Kane just before the start of the season and couldn’t replace him until this summer, when he signed Dominic Solanke.

Despite all the difficulties, Postecoglou stuck to his guns and played football his way. But, unfortunately for him, the results have not been good enough. That has led to a lot of criticism and some Spurs fans want him out too.

O’Hara has now had his say, and the Tottenham-supporting pundit has tipped Fulham boss Marco Silva to replace Postecoglou at Spurs.

Speaking about the Australian, O’Hara said on talkSPORT: “Do you know what? Carry on being stubborn, carry on doing what you’re doing, you’re going to get the sack.

“I don’t care what you say, I don’t care how far you go in the European competition or get into the final of the Carabao Cup, Premier League is where it’s at. You can’t be 11th in the table.

“I’m starting to come around to the fact that we should nick Fulham’s manager, Marco Silva. I want to nick him. He’s good. Do you know what they are? When I watch them, they are organised, got a structure to the team. They’ve got really good players – they haven’t got world-beaters – but they’ve got really good players.

“I might have to start putting it out there – Marco Silva for Spurs.

“All I’m saying is I don’t know if Big Ange can carry on playing this way. You can’t lose nine games in 18 while being Tottenham manager. I’m sorry, you can’t get away with that. You can’t continue.”

Ange Postecoglou vs Marco Silva stats compared

Silva has done a magnificent job at Fulham.

The 47-year-old Silva, hailed as an ‘outstanding manager’ by Postecoglou himself, has been at the helm at Craven Cottage since the summer of 2021, and he has improved the club massively in that period.

Tottenham admire Silva, and his numbers compared to that of Postecoglou explain why.

Silva’s stats as Fulham’s manager are very similar to Postecoglou’s at Tottenham. That is very impressive considering that the Cottagers are not on the same level in terms of quality as Spurs.

What makes Silva a good option is that he is more pragmatic than Postecoglou. His teams don’t just play all-out attack – they are happy to defend when they have to and still pick up results in the Premier League.

If Postecoglou does get sacked in the coming weeks, we think Silva would be a good option to replace him. But, we’re sure Fulham will do everything they possibly can to retain their manager’s services.
