'Not good enough': Ange Postecoglou under fire from fans as 'dark hole' surrounds Tottenham

Ange Postecoglou has been left to face the noise of his disappointed fans as Tottenham slumped to their third-straight defeat and slip further down the Premier League table.

Bournemoth teenager Dean Huijsen made history for the club when he found the back of the net in the 16th minute, making him their youngest goal scorer in league history.

Huijsen's early success extended Spurs' troubling record of defending set pieces, with the success of Postecoglou's tenure quickly coming into question.

The first-half goal was enough to hand the Spurs another loss.

As the full time whistle blew, Postecoglou walked towards the passionate sounds of boos and criticism from travelling Tottenham fans.

When asked about the impact and understanding of the statements directed by fans at Postecoglou, the Australian coach replied: "They're right to be disappointed."

"They gave us some direct feedback which we'll take on board. It's not something to be said [or repeated] in here," Postecoglou continued.

"I've got no issue with it. I didn't like what was being said because I'm a human being, but you've got to cop it.

"I've been around long enough to understand that if things don't go well, you've got to understand the frustration and disappointment.

"They're right disappointed tonight because again we've let a game of football get away from us. That's OK, I'm OK with all of that."

The future of Postecoglou at Spurs remains a debated topic by fans, with some expecting the board to begin planning what needs to happen to assist the team out of the slump given the intense nature of the current point of the season.

But while the criticism over his tenure continue, the 59-year-old's men started strong on Bournemouth's home turf.

Dominic Solanke returned to the starting line and placing two of the three first shots at goal, but it was all for naught as they now drop behind Bournemoth on the table.

VAR denied Evanilson of a goal in the 73rd after the Brazilian star finished from close range from a deflected shot by Tyler Adams.

The goal was later disallowed as he was found to be in an off side position but the disappointment did not halt the power of the home side.

The result was one Postecoglou labeled as "disappoint and not good enough" as his team prepares to face Chelsea at home on Monday (AEDT).

"We have [conceded off set pieces] now three or four times and paid a price for it.

'I don't know if they had more urgency but we have this sort of propensity to shoot ourselves in the foot when we should be controlling games.

"All I can say is I'm really disappointed with tonight and I'm determined to get it right and I'll keep fighting until we do."

Spurs' playing schedule does not end with the upcoming Chelsea clash, with the side also preparing to face Manchester United in the Carabao Cup quarter final as well as league leaders Liverpool.
