Tottenham head coach Angipost Koglow appears more isolated than ever.
Australia ordered a brief applause to the furious travel fans from near the middle line following his team’s 1-0 defeat at Chelsea, but by then it could be argued that the damage had already been made.
Enzo Fernandez’s second half header was enough to give him the 16th loss of the season at Tottenham, and to serve his 14th loss in the Premier League, 10 points away from the top 10.
The chant for “I don’t know what you’re doing” came from the away end after midfielder Lucas Bergval was replaced by Pipe Saar in the 65th minute.
Surprisingly, Sarr found the net on an excellent long-distance strike just four minutes later, with Post Coglue cupping his ears and leading towards the away end.
When asked about the post-match incident, Postcoglo said:
“I wanted them to be really excited, and at that point I felt we could potentially continue and win the game. [side]. I don’t care. It’s not the first time they’ve booed my alternatives or my decisions. That’s fine, they are allowed to do it.
“But we had just scored a goal, got an equalizer and we were hoping to get some excitement. Anyway, like I said, like we were struggling, I felt there was a bit of a momentum change out there.
“I thought if they were really behind the young people, we had momentum to end up on them.”
This is the latest in the season of events between the post-coglu and the fanbase section.
There was a recent exchange with angry supporters after being defeated by Fulham just before the international break. Another similar exchange took place after a loss at home to Leicester, and after criticising the players after losing at Bournemouth in December, he confronted the away end.
He added when asked if he alienated his fans:
This only exacerbates the lack of progress on the pitch, especially as they try to avoid the worst season, especially in the Premier League era, as they are able to use it by almost entire teams of most players.
Former Spurs midfielder Jamie Rednap made it clear when he said this on Sky Sports:
“When Sarl scored, Anji seemed to say with his ears in his head: I know well. [Tottenham fans and Ange Postecoglou] at the moment.
“That’s not ideal for a manager. He’s going ahead with some big games. He has to keep his head up, work hard and believe in what they’re doing.”
