The Australian was upset pre-game and during the match at many supporters wanting the team to lose.
While Spurs had to win to stay in the hunt for fourth place, a loss to City meant it would be harder for local rivals Arsenal to win the Premier League.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference at Hotspur Way, he said: I would like to think I didn't change my sort of stance or view on it. I think I was asked after the game about the atmosphere and I said I didn't think it was normal, I didn't like it. But I also didn't say that I expected fans to behave differently, that's their right. I've always said that and I still stand by that.
"I also stand by the fact I have an opinion on it. I don't think it's right, it's just the way I feel. I think you support your team to win all the time but that's my view.
I guess I got it wrong, plainly I'm in the minority when it comes to that. That's a lesson for me I guess but I don't think I expressed any real sort of disappointment in terms of asking or pleading for people to do something against their will. I accept that.
"For me, hopefully we are never in that situation again but if we are I certainly would approach it differently than I did this time. I didn't take it seriously, I really genuinely believed that when we got to the stadium it would just be a normal game and it wasn't so if people feel strongly about it I have just got to accept that."
