Ange Postecoglou has come in for criticism from Tottenham fans with one branding him: “Ange Poste-noclue”.
Spurs suffered derby day misery as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of rivals Arsenal who made it three wins on the trot at Tottenham’s ground.
Postecoglou attracted headlines after the match for his spiky interview in which he said that Tottenham would win a trophy this season.
But according to a Tottenham fan called GJ, the Australian boss should worry about getting results rather than bragging about his achievements.
Speaking on talkSPORT’s Final Word, GJ said: “I’ve been saying it for months about Ange Poste-noclue. He’s a fraud and he’s been figured out.
“I call him the Australian Ossie Ardiles, the Aussie Ossie, because he’s got crazy all-out tactics which are so easy to soak up and counter.
“I’m sick of him deflecting – like when we lost to Man City last season and he tried to pin that on the fans and saying ‘I’m a winner, everywhere I go I win and these fans want us to lose to Arsenal – don’t worry about the fans mate, you worry about what happens on the pitch!
“Yesterday he was saying he doesn’t put importance on derbies and that he treats every game the same and saying he’s a winner – you’re a winner? What have you won? Mickey Mouse trophies!”
Those views were echoed on The Sports Breakfast by a Spurs fan named John, who said: “The overall problem is Daniel Levy but Postecoglou is out of his depth.
“He’s got one way of play and he won’t adapt or change style – the more worrying thing is that if we get more injuries he’ll continue to play this style which will leave us more exposed.
“We had [Lucas] Bergvall and Archie Gray on the bench and Levy went all Hogwarts to bring in all of the kids – why didn’t he play them?
“He brought on Werner who is a busted flush, put the kids in!

“Bergvall is exactly the player who we needed to provide a spark but he went with Werner who can’t provide anything.
“He’ll be gone by Christmas, I’m telling you.
“This is what happens with Tottenham – we might win Wednesday against Coventry and we’ll probably win next weekend and the easily fooled will say we’re back and scoring goals, but the fact is that we remain vulnerable because of the way he plays.”
Lucas Bergvall agreed to join the club last January in an £8.5million deal, with Spurs snatching him from under the noses of Barcelona.
The Swede remained with Djurgarden, impressing despite being already picking up three senior international caps too.
Gray, meanwhile, was a £40million acquisition from Leeds United this summer.
The pair are yet to start in a game yet but have made three and two substitute appearances, respectively.
Tottenham are next in action against Coventry in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night – a clash that is live on talkSPORT 2.
