Tottenham fans feel their latest defeat to Everton is the final straw for Ange Postecoglou with calls for the board to make a change in the dugout.
Spurs headed into this season with hopes of challenging for a top four finish.
Impressive wins over Aston Villa and Manchester City appeared to get them back on track in November.
But it’s been a disastrous run of form ever since for the north London club, winning just one of their previous nine league matches prior to the trip to Goodison Park.

Everton have been in woeful form in the league, but bringing David Moyes back to the club has provided them with a fresh sense of optimism.
And there was a party mood inside Goodison Park in the opening 45 minutes as Everton ripped Tottenham apart to take a commanding 3-0 lead.
It was the first time in over a year that Everton managed to score three goals in the same half with Tottenham players shellshocked as they retreated to the changing rooms at the break.
Spurs managed to pull two goals back in the second half as Everton battled to keep hold of their lead.
But Tottenham left it too late to mount a comeback with Postecoglou now facing increased pressure in the dugout.
Some fans appear to have had enough of the Greek-born manager and want a new manager in charge.
One fan wrote: “Taxi for Postecoglou! I know lots of players are out injured but you can’t use that as an excuse anymore, not when you’re Spurs.”
Another moaned: “What a disgrace. Postecoglou has to go but things will never change till they’re out.”
Everton won just their second league game since the end of October

A third posted: “Postecoglou out! If he’s not sacked, we will be relegated.”
One other person said: “Ange Postecoglou probly gone by Monday.”
Another message read: “Ange Postecoglou gotta be gone after this.”
