Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou says he is not affected by the abuse he receives from some Spurs supporters and “will continue fighting”.
Spurs suffered their 16th defeat in 30 Premier League games this season with Thursday night’s 1-0 loss at Chelsea.
Postecoglou cupped his ear in the direction of the travelling Spurs fans after substitute Pape Sarr, whose introduction was booed four minutes earlier, scored an equaliser which was later disallowed.
Asked whether the abuse from some fans goes too far, Postecoglou said on Friday: “No, I am fine. I don’t get affected by that. I will continue fighting my whole career.”
He added: “I get that they [the fans] are frustrated and angry. At the same time, I understand the criticism towards me. But if anyone looked at the players and said they aren’t trying – then I am sorry they are not watching the right game.”
Spurs are 14th in the table with eight games left – one place above their worst Premier League finish in 1994 – and on course to finish outside the top 10 for the first time in 17 years.
