Ange Postecoglou reacts to heated clash with Tottenham fans after Bournemouth defeat

Ange Postecoglou has admitted he received some "direct feedback" from a number of frustrated Tottenham Hotspur fans in a heated clash after Thursday's 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth.

Spurs tumbled down to tenth in the Premier League table after Dean Huijsen's 17th-minute goal saw them fall to a disappointing defeat which could have been more convincing had Bournemouth converted more of their 21 shots on goal.

After the final whistle, Postecoglou was met with a chorus of boos from a large number of fans, many of whom directed their frustrations to the Australian's face on the sidelines after the game. The Spurs boss responded to some comments - one fan named him Poste-no-clue - before being ushered away by security.

"They're rightly disappointed tonight because we've let a game of football get away from us. I'm OK with all that. 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 and I will keep fighting until we do."

Quizzed on what was said to him, Postecoglou told the media: "Probably not for here, mate."

Tottenham, who find themselves battling a number of significant injury blows, have now lost six of their first 14 matches, winning the same number and adding a further two draws.

Spurs have won just once in their last six games in all competitions, although that was a spectacular 4-0 triumph over Manchester City.
