'I didn't like what was being said
Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham, claims that although he “didn’t like what was being said” by certain Spurs fans following their loss to Bournemouth, “you’ve got to cop it.”
Following their 1-0 defeat at Vitality Stadium, Postecoglou marched across the pitch to the away end to confront a group of Tottenham supporters who were yelling and pointing at them.
After exchanging words, a steward waved the 59-year-old Australian away in an effort to diffuse the situation.
“They’re disappointed and rightly so,” Postecoglou stated during his news conference following the game. They provided me with some candid criticism, which I have considered.
Since I’m a human, I didn’t like what was stated, but you had to accept it.
“I’ve been here long enough to understand the anger and disappointment that come with things not going as planned. And they have good reason to be disappointed since we lost a football game. It’s okay, though. All of that is fine with me.
“All I can say is I’m really disappointed and I’m determined to get it right and will keep fighting until we do.”
Following their loss against Bournemouth, Tottenham is now one spot below the Cherries in 10th position in the Premier League standings.
Only five teams in the top tier have lost more games than Spurs, who have now suffered six league losses this season.
“It all boils down to us as a team being much more focused on managing a football game.”
and prevent the opponent from taking charge,” Postecoglou continued.
Tottenham’s Jekyll and Hyde was “dreadful.”
In their last six games, Tottenham has only triumphed once, 4-0 at Manchester City, which now seems like an anomaly.
Tony Pulis, the former manager of Stoke, stated on BBC Radio 5 Live, “I now understand what people mean when they say Tottenham are like Jekyll and Hyde.” “They have been really poor tonight.”
Spurs had 12 shots, four of which were on goal, which is around half of Bournemouth’s total. However, their anticipated goals were only 0.58, while Bournemouth’s were 3.31.
On Amazon Prime, former England striker Les Ferdinand, who was a Spurs player from 1997 to 2003, stated: “Tottenham didn’t look like they could score today.”
Spurs could only become better, in my opinion.
They were marginally superior in the second half, but there was little sense of urgency. We had no idea which Spurs would show up tonight, and that wasn’t the team we were hoping for.”
In a match that Bournemouth should have won by a larger margin, they also had a goal disallowed for offside and struck the post.
