ANGE POSTECOGLOU was accused of losing it with his players in a four-word tirade caught on camera in Spurs’ costly 2-0 defeat at Chelsea.
Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville reckoned the manager singled out two of his Tottenham stars and “snapped”.
Ange Postecoglou was furious during what could prove a costly defeat
Postecoglou was seen screaming “Stop passing it backwards!” as Spurs struggled to create anything meaningful in a tame Premier League loss.
Tottenham, in fifth, are now seven points off fourth-placed Aston Villa in the hunt for Champions League places.
Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino‘s Blues are suddenly scenting a European spot themselves.
Victory via Trevoh Chalobah’s header and Nicolas Jackson’s rebound nod-in put Chelsea eighth, two points off Newcastle just above them.
Postecoglou, normally so calm, jabbed out an eye as he launched a stern-faced blast from the touchline at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United legend Neville responded: ”He is having a right go at (Pape Matar) Sarr, he’s having a right go at (Cristian) Romero, he has snapped, has Postecoglou.”
But many fans on social media blamed the ex-Celtic chief himself – claiming his tactics are now being found out.
Other Spurs fans are fed up with their dead-ball defending.

One posted: “It’s literally his football that’s got us in this absolute state.”
Another argued: “Can’t defend set pieces, but there isn’t a problem with that… The football is awful.”
A third wrote: “Been found out. Needs a plan b (and better players).”
And one observer suggest Poctecoglou is already worried chairman Daniel Levy will sack him – as Spurs risk fading after a brilliant start to the season.
That fan said: “He knows he’s under pressure. He knows Levy will get rid if this gets worse.”
