If Plymouth Argyle’s shocking upset against Liverpool earlier today has been one of the greatest miracles of the FA Cup, then we have to be honest and say only one thing could be more surprising than that – if Ange Postecoglou remains Tottenham Hotspur coach any longer.Ange’s Spurs were shown the way out of the FA Cup at Villa Park at the hands of Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, 2-0.It is the history of the Tottenham. 👎 pic.twitter.com/O3Gx0PScjq— Football Tweet ⚽ (@Football__Tweet) February 9, 2025 Just a few days after being swept off by Liverpool in the EFL Cup, Spurs have said their farewell to another cup, with the UEFA Europa League remaining their last chance to do anything worth of praise this season. Along with their dreadful Premier League season, that’s more than enough reasons for Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to shake hands with the Australian boss and show him the exit doors.Some analysts thought that Spurs would miraculously bounce back when faced with such a horrible situation ahead of the Villa tie, but instead, they went into the game as awfully as it gets.LATEST: Aston Villa 1-0 Tottenham⚽️ GOAL: Jacob Ramsey🤝 ASSIST: Morgan RogersSpurs couldn’t even last 58 seconds… ffs…Gutless, brainless, or just crap… whatever you wanna call it… it’s not good enough…pic.twitter.com/Uc3Joipr5H— Football Confidential 🌐 (@footballconfid1) February 9, 2025 Spurs conceded in the 59th second of the game, with their keeper Kinsky failing to deny Ramse’ effort, paving the road for another painful loss.Like in every other game when Tottenham have been trailing – and there were quite a few of them during this campaign – Ange’s boys did show some character and desire. What they lacked – as always – was calmness and a half-decent finishing (except for that one moment in the injury time).Of course it’s Morgan Rogers for @AVFCOfficial 🥶The @England star has deserved that goal 🏴#EmiratesFACup pic.twitter.com/BJqOu9BE26— Emirates FA Cup (@EmiratesFACup) February 9, 2025 Even when Son, Kulusevski, and their latest reinforcement, Tel, were accurate, Dibu Martinez was impeccable between the sticks, reminding us of some of his incredible saves from the recent past. The latter still managed to score his maiden Spurs goal, though, showcasing some one-of-a-kind skills as he made the most of Kulusevski’s cross to the far post with the outside of his foot.It’s a debut goal for @SpursOfficial’s Mathys Tel ⚪️A beautifully taken volley 🤌#EmiratesFACup pic.twitter.com/FhuX47NsKE— Emirates FA Cup (@EmiratesFACup) February 9, 2025 Unai Emery tested his newest signings, Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio, in the second half, but the former Manchester United forward managed only to unintentionally injure Archie Gray of Tottenham from a promising position near the added time.And what is next for Ange Postecoglou after this FA Cup exit?
