Ange Postecoglou is beginning to look like a beaten man at Tottenham Hotspur.

The former Celtic manager watched his side lose 1-0 to Chelsea last night in Premier League action but it was an awkward evening for the Australian.

Postecoglou cupped his ears towards his own fans after he thought Pape Sarr had scored but it would be ruled out for offside and that triggered a response from the punters.

Celtic hero Postecoglou endured a tense chat after Spurs loss

And Sky Sports‘ reporter Patrick Davison made sure to try and ask the boss for his thoughts on supporter criticism as they chanted “you don’t know what you’re doing” towards their own gaffer.

Asked specifically about that moment, Postecoglou snapped: “No, mate. I know what you’re talking about.

“I did (look towards the fans), yeah, yeah. I wanted them to be happy, mate. We’ve just scored a cracking goal, and I was listening, you know? I wanted them to cheer because they haven’t had a lot to cheer about.

“It has nothing to do with booing my substitutions. It’s a no. I’ve got it wrong, you know. If you’ve followed my sort of tenure, it’s not the first time and they’re allowed to boo, but I wanted them to cheer because I thought it was a cracking goal.”

What annoyed Postecoglou about Sky Sports interview

Asked again about losing fans this season, Postecoglou let the journo know how he felt the interview on Sky Sports was going.

“I get it, Pat. You’re trying really hard,” he added. “That’s fine. Look, you’ve already decided what the outcome is. My outcome tonight is it was a really tight game.

“I thought it was decided by a really poor decision. And apart from that, everyone got through healthy. We got some great minutes into some guys and we move to Sunday.”

Ange has had rough moments this season so far at Spurs with run-ins with supporters more than once.

And Daniel Levy could be looking to sack Postecoglou given their league position.

Unfortunately for the Celtic hero who won five trophies in Glasgow, it appears he may have finally resigned himself to that fact.
