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

It's not very often you see Postecoglou like this.

Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou could be seen screaming at his players and telling them to "pass forward" during their Premier League clash against Chelsea.

The 58-year-old is known for his cool, calm and collected demeanor on the touchline but he was absolutely incensed on Thursday night after Trevoh Chalobah headed Chelsea into the lead.

Four of the last five Premier League goals Spurs have conceded have come from set pieces.

And after the half hour mark at Stamford Bridge, a furious Postecoglou could be seen screaming at Pape Sarr and Cristian Romero as the visitors struggled to build momentum.

"He's having a right go at Sarr and he's having a right go at Romero," said Gary Neville, who was on commentary for Sky Sports. "Ange Postecoglou has snapped."

Spurs failed to have a shot on target in the opening 45 minutes as they try and put pressure on Aston Villa, who sit seven points ahead of the North London club in fourth.

Speaking ahead of the game on Thursday, 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 going down to nine men – he opened up on whether his team have adapted to his style of play.

“The question for me always is: are they doing it because I’m telling them to do it or are they doing it because they believe it?" he told Standard Sport.

“And that’s always the process you’re going through. It’s inevitable at the start that most of it is happening because you’re telling them to do it, so at least I’m making an impact, at least they’re listening to me — that’s one box ticked.

“But for it to truly evolve into something, it’s because the players believe it. And I’ve seen the players growing into it, but we’re not there yet."

He added: “It’s great they’re listening to me, but it is challenging to play this way all the time. You can’t just dip your toe in, you’ve got to be all in. I’ve seen growth within the group for that, but they’ve still got a way to go.

“In my experience, the true belief comes when you’ve got the majority of the squad and staff [to a point] where if I didn’t turn up, they would still go about things in the same way. I don’t think we’re at the majority yet.”
