Postecoglou confronted Bournemouth fans
Prior to the loss, Spurs delivered a commanding 4-0 victory against defending champions Manchester City.
However, Postecoglou’s side stumbled in their away game against Bournemouth.
Postecoglou engaged in a few conversations with the Tottenham fans, expressing their frustration towards the club.
A verbal altercation ensued before a steward intervened, attempting to defuse the situation by signaling the 59-year-old Australian to move away.
“They are disappointed, rightly so. They gave me some direct feedback which I guess is taken on board,” he said
When asked what Postecoglou said, he added: “Probably not for here mate. I’ve got no issue with it. I didn’t like what was being said because I’m a human being, but you’ve got to cop it.
“I’m really disappointment”
Tottenham has now lost six of their 14 league games this season and sits 10th in the table, below Bournemouth.
Postecoglou’s side faces a tough schedule in the coming weeks.
They will host Chelsea on Sunday, then travel to Rangers for a crucial Europa League match next week.
After facing Southampton, they play Manchester United in the League Cup quarterfinals and host leaders Liverpool just before Christmas.
“I’ve been around long enough to know that when things don’t go well you’ve got to understand the frustration and disappointment. And they’re rightly disappointed because we let a game of football get away from us. But that’s OK. I’m OK with all that,” he said.
“All I can say is I’m really disappointed and I’m determined to get it right and will keep fighting until we do.”
