Tottenham Fans All Making the Same Point on X After Watching Their Loss to Wolves
Tottenham Hotspur’s top-four hopes took another major hit following a chaotic and defensively calamitous 4-2 defeat away at Wolves. While the result itself left many fans frustrated, the nature of the loss and recurring themes of poor defensive discipline and tactical naivety ignited a firestorm of criticism online. On X (formerly Twitter), one point echoed louder than the rest: many fans now believe it’s time for Ange Postecoglou to go.
A Nightmarish Start
Things got off to a nightmare start for Spurs at Molineux, as Wolves broke the deadlock just two minutes in. A curling free-kick was parried weakly by Guglielmo Vicario into the path of Rayan Ait-Nouri, who smashed in the rebound. It set the tone for what would become yet another horror show at the back for Postecoglou’s side.
The second goal came in the 38th minute through a disastrous own goal by Djed Spence. Vicario once again tried to punch a cross clear under pressure, only for the ball to ricochet off Spence and into the back of the net. It was a comedy of errors, but Spurs fans weren’t laughing.
Glimmer of Hope, Then More Mistakes
Spurs showed signs of life in the second half when Mathys Tel, who was one of the few bright sparks, pulled a goal back in the 59th minute, finishing smartly from a Brennan Johnson assist. However, that hope was short-lived.
Just five minutes later, 18-year-old Lucas Bergvall, brought on as a substitute, gifted possession to Wolves deep in his own half. Ait-Nouri pounced and squared the ball for Jørgen Strand Larsen to restore the home side’s two-goal cushion.
Richarlison pulled one back in the 85th minute after capitalizing on a loose ball inside the box, but just one minute later, Spurs imploded again. Cristian Romero was at fault this time, with a poor clearance falling straight to Matheus Cunha, who made no mistake in firing home Wolves’ fourth and final goal of the evening.
Fans Turn on Ange Postecoglou
By full-time, the narrative was set. Fans flocked to X with a unified sentiment — enough is enough. The hashtag #PostecoglouOut began trending within an hour after the match, as many supporters placed the blame squarely at the feet of the manager.
> “Same mistakes every week. Poor defending, no plan B, and Ange doesn’t make changes when he should. We’re going backwards,” wrote one fan.
> “How many defensive howlers do we need before we realise this system is broken? AngeBall might be entertaining, but it’s killing us at the back,” said another.
Some went further, calling for a complete defensive overhaul and questioning the manager’s decision to persist with high-risk tactics even when his backline is struggling with confidence and cohesion.
Defensive Errors Continue to Haunt
Tottenham’s defensive woes have been a constant storyline throughout the season. The high defensive line and insistence on playing out from the back, no matter the circumstance, has made Spurs vulnerable — especially against teams that press high and capitalize on errors.
Against Wolves, three of the four goals came directly from defensive blunders. That trend has alarmed fans who once bought into Postecoglou’s attacking philosophy, but are now questioning whether the Australian is capable of adapting when needed.
What Next for Spurs?
The pressure is mounting. Tottenham’s latest loss leaves them drifting further from Champions League qualification, and with tough fixtures ahead, the atmosphere among the fanbase is turning toxic. While there is no official word from the club regarding Postecoglou’s future, the fans have made their stance clear: unless the manager rethinks his approach or results turn around quickly, time could be running out.
For now, the message on X is deafeningly clear — Spurs need a change, and fast.
