Ange Postecoglou – Fans of Copped Ear: Are Tottenham coach’s head of coach feeling?
Tottenham Anges Postecoglou’s leader seems more isolated than ever.
The Australian directed a short beat for the furious fans traveling away close to the line halfway following the loss of 1-0 of his team at Chelsea but, at that point, it could be argued that the damage had already been done.
The header of Enzo Fernandez’s second half was sufficient to inflict a sixteenth defeat of the season on Tottenham and leave them 14th in the Premier League – 10 points from the top 10 – and the signs are growing that the fans have had enough.
The songs of “Don’t know what you are doing” came from the end after midfielder Lucas Bergvall was replaced by Pape Sarr in the 65th minute.
Surprisingly, Sarr found the net with an excellent long -haul attack only four minutes later, bringing Postecoglou to cup his ear and turn to the end of the way, only for VAR to exclude the goal for a foul on Moises Caicedo.
When he was asked about the accident after the game, Postecoglou said: “Jeez’s teacher, it’s incredible how things are interpreted. We had just scored, I just wanted to feel them cheering. Because we had crossed a difficult moment and I thought it was a crepe goal.
“I wanted them to really get excited. I heard at that point that we could potentially go on and win the game. I heard the momentum was from ours (side). It doesn’t bother me. It is not the first time they whistled my replacements or my decisions. Okay, they are authorized to do it.
“But we had just scored a goal, we just scored an equalizer, I only hoped that we could have a little excitement. If people wanted to read in this way I am in some way trying to do a point on something, as I said, we had crossed a difficult moment, but I thought there was a little rush there.
“If you really put the boys behind, I thought we had the momentum to finish above them.”
It is only the last of a season of accidents between Postecoglou and sections of the fan base.
There was the recent exchange with an angry supporter after the defeat by Fulham shortly before the international break, another similar occurred after the defeat at home in Leicester and faced the end of away after criticizing the players after losing in Bournemouth in December.
He added when he was asked if he was alienating the fans: “You know what, I am so disconnected with the world these days, that who knows? Maybe you are right. I don’t know. But that’s not what was my intention.”
This only worsens the lack of progress in the field, in particular with almost a complete team of players available, while Spurs tries to avoid their worst season in the premier League era.
Former spurs midfielder Jamie Redknapp clearly put him when he said on Sky Sports: “Tottenham was horrible. He could have been much more. Not enough in any department of Tottenham. Chelsea was much better.
“When Sarr scored, he seemed to be angel to Cup his ears to say: I know better. At the moment there is a disconnection between the two (fans of Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou).
“It is not ideal for the manager. He has great games in advance. He has to keep his head high, continue to go on, work hard and believe in what they do.”
