LONDON — Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou might be in for more "direct feedback" from fans if his team underwhelms when Chelsea visits on Sunday. The Australian coach isn't worried. He says "I'm never going to shed that responsibility — that's fine." Spurs slipped to 10th in the Premier League standings with a 1-0 loss at Bournemouth on Thursday, and Postecoglou had an exchange with frustrated traveling fans after the final whistle. The coach deemed it "direct feedback" in his postgame comments. Postecoglou adds "I don't need support, mate." Injured center-back Cristian Romero is due to train before a decision is made about his availability Sunday.
