Ange Postecoglou said he was given "some direct feedback" from the angry Tottenham fans before a steward had to usher him away.

The north London outfit were beaten at Bournemouth as they missed out on the chance to go fifth - and now sit tenth as a result. After their loss at the Vitality Stadium, Postecoglou pointed at a group of fans who were voicing their anger at him and marched across the pitch to confront them.

The Australian has never been shy in voicing his opinion but understood why the travelling faithful were disappointed with the performance. Postecoglou though wasn't a fan of what was being said, although was willing to take it on the chin.

He said: "They're disappointed and rightly so. They gave me some direct feedback, which I've taken on board. 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. 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. All I can say is I'm really disappointed and I'm determined to get it right and will keep fighting until we do."

Postecoglou was asked exactly what was said by the travelling supporters, but didn't divulge anything in the press conference. He replied: “Probably not for here, mate.”

Tottenham have lost as many games as they've won this term as their inconsistency continues to hamper their ambitions. Only once all season, they been able to win successive games.

The north Londoners' next assignment is a clash with Chelsea, who are flying high in second. Another defeat is likely to see fan anger rise as Postecoglou's team continue to be blighted by inconsistencies.

The Australian is into his second season and has spoken confidently about his ability to win silverware - something the club crave. They're still in the hunt for the Carabao Cup with their FA Cup efforts to begin next month. Back in September, Postecoglou said: I always win things in my second year. Nothing's changed. I've said it now. I don't say things unless I believe them."
