Ange Postecoglou trumps Klopp and Arteta as Tottenham form slump for ex Celtic boss not all it seems

Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham have come under fire after a losing streak of four games and 13 goals against.

But the former Celtic boss still trumps outgoing Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Arsenal's Mikel Arteta in one key area in his debut campaign as an English Premier League manager. He got off to a flying start south of the border with three consecutive Manager of the Month awards in August, September and October. They were flying high at the top end of the league table but have dropped off in recent weeks with their Champions League hopes now hanging by a thread.

Aston Villa currently occupy fourth spot and have seven point cushion over Spurs. They have a game in hand but realistically will need to win all three of their remaining games, including a showdown with Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, and hope John McGinn and his Villa troops lose their final two matches.

But despite the drop-off in form, the Celtic favourite has picked up MORE points in his first 35 games as an English Premier League manager than both Klopp and Arteta. Ange boasts a 60 points total at this stage while his Liverpool rival was two shy on 58. Arteta trails by TEN points with a total of 50 won after his first 35 outings.
