Ange Postecoglou has acknowledged receiving “direct feedback” from frustrated Tottenham fans during a heated exchange following their 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Thursday.
Spurs dropped to tenth in the Premier League table after Dean Huijsen’s 17th-minute goal sealed a disappointing result. Bournemouth dominated the game, recording 21 shots and leaving Spurs fortunate to escape with just a one-goal deficit.
After the match, Postecoglou faced a chorus of boos from the crowd, with some fans venting their frustrations directly at him on the sidelines. One supporter dubbed him “Poste-no-clue” before security intervened to diffuse the situation.

Reflecting on the incident, Postecoglou admitted:
“I didn’t like what was being said because I’m a human being, but you’ve got to cop it. I’ve been around long enough to know that when things don’t go well, you’ve got to understand the frustration and disappointment. They’re rightly disappointed tonight because we let the game slip away.”
He added:
“They gave me some direct feedback, which I guess is taken onboard. All I can say is, I’m really disappointed with tonight, and I’m determined to get it right. I’ll keep fighting until we do.”
When asked about the specific comments made by fans, Postecoglou declined to elaborate, responding: “Probably not for here, mate.”
Spurs, grappling with significant injury issues, have endured a difficult run, losing six of their first 14 Premier League matches while managing just one win in their last six games across all competitions. That lone victory was an emphatic 4-0 triumph over Manchester City, offering a rare bright spot in an otherwise challenging period.
