Ange Postecoglou goes ballistic with two players and ‘snaps’ in furious touchline outburst vs Chelsea

Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou could be seen shouting at his players and telling them to “move forward” during the Premier League clash with Chelsea
The 58-year-old is known for his cool, calm and collected demeanor on the touchline, but he was furious on Thursday night after Trevoh Chalobah gave Chelsea the lead
Four of Spurs’ last five goals conceded in the Premier League have come from set pieces
And after half an hour at Stamford Bridge, Postecoglou could be seen angrily shouting at Pape Sarr and Cristian Romero as the visitors tried to gain momentum
Gary Neville, commentator on Sky Sports, said: “He had a good shot on Sarr and he had a good shot on Romero
“Ange Postecoglou has collapsed
” Spurs failed to get a shot on target in the opening 45 minutes as they tried to put pressure on Aston Villa, who are seven points ahead of the north London club in fourth place
Speaking before Thursday’s match, Postecoglou admitted that “the majority” of his players and staff are still not fully committed to his attacking philosophy
When asked about their performance against Chelsea in November – when they lost 4-1 after being reduced to nine men – he explained whether his team had adapted to his style of play “The question for me is always this: what are they doing
Is it because I told them to do it or are they doing it because they believe in it
” he told Standard Sport
“And that’s always the process you have to go through
Initially, it was inevitable that most of these things happened because you told them to, so at least I had an impact, at least they listened to me – that was the tick
“But for it to actually grow into something, it’s because players believe in it
And I have seen the players develop, but we are not there yet
» He added: “It’s great that they listen to me, but always playing that way is a challenge
Just starting is not enough, you have to give it your all
I’ve seen growth within the team on this, but they still have a way to go
“In my experience, real trust comes when you have the majority of the team and staff [at a time] that if I wasn’t there, they would continue to do it the same way
I don’t think we have a majority yet
