Postecoglou and his team suffered their first league defeat since he took over and he's not been immune to some harsh words from punters and pundits.
Ange Postecoglou has had a stellar start to life at Tottenham, but he's facing some rare criticism for his 'arrogant' gameplan against Chelsea.
Spurs maintained a high line throughout even after they were depleted by the two red cards and that led to Chelsea having plenty of space in behind. The question was asked after the game if they'd have been better off deploying a more cautious approach, but in typical Postecoglou fashion, he said that's not his style - and he'd have 'had a go' even with FIVE players left.
Postecoglou was praised by many for his gracious comments towards the officials. In a week where Mikel Arteta was thoroughly backed by Arsenal for his scathing comments on VAR and the state of officiating, Postecoglou watched his team reduced to nine men, and reiterated his 'respect' for the man with the whistle.
