Son Heung-min has come under fire for his performance in Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with Fulham.
The Lilywhites took a 54th-minute lead against their London counterparts through Brennan Johnson, but could only hold onto it for 13 minutes before Tom Cairney’s equaliser.
“It seems with this club” – Postecoglou bluntly responds to Tottenham supporters booing!
Even Cairney’s 83rd-minute red card couldn’t inspire Spurs to all three points, with Ange Postecoglou’s men continuing to show chronic inconsistency.
In all honesty, Spurs never deserved the win on Sunday.
The hosts attempted just eight shots and generated only 0.78 xG, compared to 14 shots and 1.58 xG from Fulham, who were the far better team.

One man who really did seem to suffer is Son.
The South Korean forward has struggled throughout this injury-disrupted campaign, netting just four goals in 14 appearances across all competitions and only three in the Premier League.
Son is without a goal in each of his last four league outings and barely looked like getting going here.
The 32-year-old missed a good opportunity in the opening minute of the match but wasn’t credited with another shot from there.
Meanwhile, Son touched the ball just three times in the opposition box, failed to attempt a dribble and was unsuccessful with all three of his attempted crosses.
Prominent Spurs journalist Alisdair Gold didn’t hold back on Son in his player ratings for Football.London.
Scoring him 4/10, Gold wrote: “Had a couple of early chances, both stopped by Leno, but contributed very little after that. Really looked on the fringes of the game. A very quiet day for the captain when he needed to grab the game by the scruff of the neck.”
Tottenham will look to bounce back when they travel to Bournemouth on Thursday before a massive clash at home to Chelsea on Sunday.
