‘Great start to an interview’ – Ange Postecoglou gives spiky response to reporter after Tottenham defeat

Today at 12:49 PM

Ange Postecoglou tried to hold it in after another humiliating Tottenham defeat, but in his eyes one reporter went over the mark.

The Australian had just seen his side concede three goals against the Premier League's second lowest-scoring side as Everton beat Spurs 3-2 at Goodison Park.

The result made it just one win and seven defeats in Spurs' last 11 league games, pushing Postecoglou perilously close to the exit door.

The former Celtic manager seemed intent on keeping his cool as his media duties began, but when the BBC's Match of the Day came knocking, it all went awry.

He was asked by the reporter: “Ange, familiar story, what are your assessments of that performance, please?"

Looking up from the ground, he looked livid and replied: "Familiar story?"

When he got the response: “Well, in terms of the defeat," things didn't get much better as he looked back to the ground.

“Yeah okay, great way to start an interview," Postecoglou commented, before analysing the match without eye contact.

“Yeah look, it was a tough result for us. Obviously in the first half we struggled to get control of the game," he said.

“I made some changes in the team that probably weren’t helpful in the end. I had players struggling to come to terms with it.

“Everton then capitalised on it. In the second half, the players put in the right response and you know, credit to them but we fell short.”

The reporter may have been left reeling, but others have had far more punishment from Postecoglou during his side's recent run of poor form.

One of those was talkSPORT's very own Sam Matterface, who was left with the 59-year-old shouting 'get off the fence' back at him after a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle.
