Dramatic footage on social media shows the former Celtic boss re-emerging to stare down a few of the disgruntled supporters, with the 61-year-old far from happy.
Tottenham staff members then dragged the Australian away to ensure tensions didn't escalate even more.
Speaking post-match, Postecoglou insisted that results and performances will improve - especially once A-listers such as Dominic Solanke, James Maddison and Micky van de Ven return from injury.
"Ultimately it is about staying strong - we are going to get significant players back in the next two weeks - that's all this group needs - they just need some help," he said.

"Once they get their help I'm sure their fortunes will change.
"The guys coming back will not be low on confidence and they will drive the group.
"The guys are trying as hard as they can at the moment - they gave everything again today.
"Some of them probably shouldn't be out there, but that's all you can ask for.

"Once we get a couple of players back it will help them enormously.
"Everyone needs to acknowledge, the club, supporters, myself that the players are giving everything they can.
"The reality of football the judging is constant and it is now.
"Where we are in the league is nowhere near good enough. That's a reflection on me and my coaching, but as I keep saying I am positive about the future for this group of players."

"I've played more games than I expected, but that is our job. Mentally we just have to refresh and get ready and go again. I know it can be tough. When you get wins you can get better feelings, but it is harder after today. It is very tough at the moment.
"It is painful. It's happened a few times already this season. It feels like scoring games is so hard but conceding goals is way too easy.
"I haven't seen them back yet but it is a lack of concentration, definitely, and a bit of sloppiness. We knew they were going to come. We're going to have to sit down and talk about what went wrong."
