Coach Ange Postecoglou will be in trouble if he continues to get into public spats with fans.
After Tottenham's 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth, Postecoglou went to the fans' area and got into a fight. Sprus fans are clearly not happy with their team losing 6 games after 14 rounds in the Premier League and sitting 10th in the standings.
Postecoglou certainly knows that he will not benefit from being embroiled in a row with the fans. He needs to focus on fixing Tottenham's inconsistency and finding a better balance between entertaining and winning games.
Only Liverpool and Chelsea have scored more goals than Tottenham this season. However, their defence has also conceded 15. Postecoglou may have to sacrifice some of his flair to make the 'Roosters' more solid and consistent.
Of course, it will never be boring to watch Tottenham under Postecoglou. But are Spurs any closer to winning their first title in 16 years because they are worth watching? No. Are they better than last season, when they were top of the league after 10 games? No.
Is 10th place in the Premier League good enough to satisfy Tottenham's board and fans? Probably not.
At some point, Postecoglou will have to adjust his approach, sacrificing spontaneity for efficiency. For every coach, the ultimate goal is three points. Winning is the most important thing in football.
Manager Russell Martin has stubbornly stuck to his principles at Southampton, and they are bottom of the table and have just lost 5-1 at home to Chelsea. No Saints fan can be happy, despite the eye-catching style of play.
Postecoglou has more to lose by being stubborn and persisting in his dedication. Spurs fans are enjoying beautiful football - a luxury enjoyed under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte - but the result has been unacceptable defeats to Ipswich, Brighton and Crystal Palace.
If they continue to play like this, it will be very difficult for the "Roosters" to enter the top 4 of the Premier League this year. It is difficult to explain why Postecoglou has not changed his approach. And the Australian strategist's argument with fans is even more difficult to understand.
