Tottenham have lost three games in a row.
Rightly or wrongly, pressure is building on Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Spurs have lost three straight games, and Pochettino has been understandably tetchy in press conferences.
Former Aston Villa and Manchester United defender Paul McGrath has urged for patience, and wants the pressure on Pochettino to go away.
He used Twitter to say that from a neutral perspective, he wants Pochettino to be able to carry on his project.
Tottenham have a tricky fixture this weekend away to Brighton and Hove Albion, where Arsenal and Manchester United have both suffered defeats in 2018.
Part of Pochettino’s problem is that his players are tired after heavy involvement at the World Cup.
This weekend they must find a way to grit out a result; and praise instead of criticism may follow.
