The Spurs boss was in playful mood after watching his team beat Bournemouth 2-0 on Saturday
Ange Postecoglou appeared to fire a dig at Gary Neville for his comments about managers copying Pep Guardiola's tactics.
Neville made the point that head coaches inverting their full-backs and using them as an extra man in midfield has become less effective because of the number of teams using that style. Tottenham Hotspur have done the same under Postecoglou, with Pedro Porro, in particular, moving from right-back into the middle.

"It is sometimes about instincts but it's trying to create a system that's as fluid as can be. If there's space there forget you're a full-back, you're a footballer in space so go into the space and then it's up to us to make sure we're covering the gaps that are left."
