Ange Postecoglou delivered brutal home truths to those connected to Tottenham after becoming incensed by the grappling with how to approach the defeat by Manchester City.
The Australian suggested that Spurs require a major mentality shift if they are to close the gap between themselves and the country’s elite – including City, who are one win away from securing an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title.
Postecoglou appeared to exchange words with a supporter from his technical area during the 2-0 defeat, sealed by two Erling Haaland goals either side of a glaring miss by Heung-min Son.
And the 58-year-old believes the build-up to City’s visit, the rivalry with Arsenal dominating thoughts around the club, has shone a light on the problems he faces as manager.
Incensed by the attitude towards the fixture as some Spurs fans openly said they hoped their own team lost to prevent Arsenal claiming a first title for two decades.

‘I want to be successful at this football club, it’s why I was brought in. So what other people, how they want to feel, and what their priorities are, are of zero interest to me.
‘I know what’s important to build a winning team, that’s what I need to concentrate on.
‘I can’t dictate what people do. They [the fans] are allowed to express themselves any way they want. But yeah, when we’ve got late winners in games it’s because the crowd’s helped us.
‘I already know what I want to do, it’s just I’ve got to make some adjustments to how I do it.’
