"Inconsistent" Tottenham form leaves Spurs fans "angry" at direction of the club, says supporter and podcaster Ricky Sacks.

After losing a 2-0 lead to fall to a 4-3 defeat by London rivals Chelsea on Sunday, it was a result that added to an already inconsistent season that has seen the club beat Manchester City 4-0 but also lose to newly promoted Ipswich Town at home.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, Sacks said: "The most consistent thing about Tottenham is the fact they are so consistently inconsistent.

"From the top of the club it feels like a circus at the moment in regards to the structure and management of where we are, going down to the application, effort and desire of the players.

"Then you have to look at Ange Postecoglou. Some of his decision making at times is pretty baffling. If you look at all three of those different aspects there is a lot of concern and confusion in terms of the direction the club is taking at the moment.

"There has been a case of ill-discipline [with players] but, unfortunately, this is not the first time in his reign this has happened. Same sort of thing happened in this exact fixture last season. Players going out and not doing the job they have been sent out to do.

"The players are really letting him down in the big crucial moments in games.

"There are a lot of angry Spurs fans out there right now that are questioning the direction of this football club."
