I CAN'TI THINK OF AXE

Spurs boss is keeping his head

- by NEIL McLEMAN

ANGE POSTECOGLOU has claimed getting sacked "doesn't enter my head space" as Tottenham face a crunch FA Cup test at Villa Park.

The pressure and problems are piling on the Spurs manager with striker Richarlison now out with a calf strain and no time frame for the return of defender Micky van de Ven (inset).

Postecoglou has always managed to lift a trophy in his second season at a club.

But with Spurs down in 14th in the Premier League after only two wins in 12, FA Cup defeat will leave the Europa League as the only possible path to silverware.

Tottenham, whose Carabao Cup run ended at Anfield on Thursday, will need to play another seven games to lift the European trophy in Bilbao in May.
