Tottenham Hotspur's losing streak extends to six games
Tottenham Hotspur's women's football team is struggling after losing six matches in a row, following a 2-0 defeat to West Ham United on Sunday. This loss has dropped them to ninth place in the Women's Super League (WSL) and eliminated them from the FA Cup. The current five-game losing streak in the WSL is the longest they have had in two years. Head coach Robert Vilahamn was asked about his job security after the recent poor performances. He expressed that he is not afraid of being fired and believes in the club's long-term plan. Vilahamn emphasized the importance of working together as a team and that results are tied to the overall project. Recent managerial changes in the WSL highlight the pressure coaches face in women's football. Several teams have made coaching changes due to poor results, but Vilahamn remains confident in his role at Spurs. The club has been through a review of their women's setup and appointed Andy Rogers to a higher position to improve oversight. Despite a strong performance last year that included a sixth-place finish, this season has seen a decline. Key players have left or are injured, affecting the team's performance. Spurs have dropped in several key statistics, and their attacking capabilities have suffered as a result. Vilhamn reflects on the challenges of the current season, saying it feels like they have lost time due to circumstances beyond their control. He admits there have been mistakes in adapting tactics but remains committed to improving the team's performance. Maintaining morale amid these difficulties is critical as they strive to turn their fortunes around in future matches.
