LONDON - Ange Postecoglou has slammed his Tottenham Hotspur flops, as furious fans turned on the Australian manager and his spluttering side after Bournemouth condemned them to a shock 1-0 defeat on Dec 5.
Dean Huijsen netted in the first half of their English Premier League clash at the Vitality Stadium to leave Postecoglou's troubled team with just one win in their last six games in all competitions.
The 19-year-old defender's first goal in English football after his close-season move from Juventus exposed the flaws in Tottenham's error-prone defence.
Lacklustre Spurs, now in 10th place, were fortunate not to lose by a bigger margin as Andoni Iraola's side wasted several chances to increase their lead.
Tottenham's sixth Premier League defeat this season was another setback for the under-fire Postecoglou after last weekend's disappointing 1-1 draw at home to 10-man Fulham.
"It's not good enough. We again fell into the trap of starting the game really well and then we conceded a really poor goal," he said.
