- Tottenham manager Postecoglou cops flak from angry fans Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou confronted fans after his sideβs tame 1-0 Premier League defeat at Bournemouth on Thursday which increased the pressure on the Australian.
Postecoglouβs side were unrecognisable from the one that beat Manchester City 4-0 in their last away game, producing a lacklustre display and conceding from a basic set-piece.
They have now lost six of their 14 league games this season and sit 10th in the table, below Bournemouth.
Boos were heard from the visiting fans after the final whistle and Postecoglou engaged a few in conversation.
βThey are disappointed, rightly so. They gave me some direct feedback which I guess is taken on board,β he told reporters.
Asked what was said, he added: βProbably not for here mate. Iβve got no issue with it. I didnβt like what was being said because Iβm a human being but youβve got to cop it.
βIβve been around long enough to know that if things donβt go well, youβve got to understand the frustration.β
Postecoglou faces a crucial few weeks if the season is not to start unravelling. His stuttering side host high-flying Chelsea on Sunday and travel to Rangers for a crucial Europa League clash next week. After a trip to bottom club Southampton they face Manchester United in the League Cup quarter-finals and host leaders Liverpool shortly before Christmas.
βAll I can say is Iβm really disappointed with tonight and Iβm determined to get it right and Iβll keep fighting until we do,β Postecoglou said.
Adding to his woes was an injury to Ben Davies who was playing as centre back in the absence of injured duo Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.
βIt looks like heβs done his hamstring. Him and Radu (Dragusin) have played every game. Itβs the one position we canβt rotate. Heβll obviously be out for a period of time now, weβll just have to wait and see how long it is.
βItβs a consequence of having the squad we have.β
