Ange Postecoglou is under pressure now after Tottenham Hotspur suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth in the Premier League.
The North Londoners have had a very tricky season. They have experienced the highs of battering Manchester City but have also been humiliated by teams like Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town.
After a disappointing draw against Fulham at home, Spurs fans were hoping to see a response against Bournemouth, but there was none.
The Cherries picked up a 1-0 win, and Postecoglou faced the wrath of the away fans after the full-time whistle at the Vitality Stadium.

Tottenham fans are not happy with their side’s recent performances.
Spurs are now 10th in the Premier League table and have lost just as many games as they have won after 14 games. That is simply not good enough.
Postecoglou has had to deal with a lot of injuries, but questions are still being asked of the Tottenham boss about some of his tactics.
The North Londoners conceded yet another set-piece goal on Thursday night – this has been an issue for a long time but there hasn’t been a solution yet.
Spurs fan and pundit Jamie O’Hara was not a happy man, and he has now boldly predicted that Daniel Levy will sack Postecoglou if one thing happens in the coming weeks – Spurs stay in 10th place at Christmas.
He said on talkSPORT: “You know what? I don’t know how much more… Look, I like Ange, I like the football he plays, I do. But, there’s a big but coming, but this is getting old, this football, in terms of set-pieces and playing out from the back.
“Daniel Levy ain’t going to stand for this. I’m telling you now. If he thinks he can go all the way through the season and keep defending like this, keep having set-pieces like this, he will get sacked.
“Daniel Levy is all about Champions League football, Europa League minimum. If Spurs are 10th in the table after Christmas, they will sack Ange. I’m telling you, they will sack him. This can’t continue.
“I feel like he’s starting to run on thin ice. I need to see more. One from the players because the players again tonight let themselves down, but I need more from the manager.”

Should Tottenham sack Postecoglou?
Six defeats in the first 14 Premier League games is simply not good enough, even though injuries have been a factor.
The performances of some of Spurs’ players this season have been really poor, but the buck stops with the manager and he is responsible for the results.
However, will sacking Postecoglou really change anything? We don’t think so!
Tottenham have been in a similar position with each of their last four managers. All of the previous ones were shown the door and there is a chance Postecoglou will face the same treatment.
But, at some point, Levy and the board will have to take some responsibility. They are to blame for Tottenham’s problems and there won’t be a fix until they change their ways.
