Former Tottenham striker Peter Crouch has insisted that faith should be kept in Jose Mourinho and he is the right man for the League Cup final.
Pressure on Spurs increased following defeat to Manchester City in the Premier League at the weekend, which left the club four points behind fourth-place Liverpool - who have a game in hand.
Questions have been asked about Mourinho's long-term future at the club, with the situation looking bleak, while others are pushing for a more immediate solution.
However, when asked about his feelings by a fan, Crouch insisted that Spurs' best chance of defeating City in April's Carabao Cup final is with Mourinho in charge.
"You have to give him the chance to go to Wembley, surely? Is it really so bad at the minute that you would want another man in charge for the clash with Manchester City?" He wrote in the Mail.
"Surely Jose deserves the opportunity. I've said before how much I like Mourinho. I've always got on well with him, he's always had a good word and spoken positively about me; he's always been prepared to give me advice whenever our paths have crossed.
"But I can't pretend that things are going well for him at the moment when they clearly aren't.
"Tottenham have been so disappointing recently but what annoys me about it all is the individual errors that are ruining games. High-profile players are making mistakes that shouldn't happen.
"I know some Tottenham fans who want him to go but if there is any manager who could do a job on Pep Guardiola in a final it is Mourinho.
"He wins trophies and while Manchester City are hot favourites to win at Wembley in April's League Cup final, Tottenham are not out of it. Not with Mourinho in charge."
