Tottenham allowed a whopping six runs. It's shocking.
Tottenham lost 3-6 at home against Liverpool in the 17th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 23rd (Korea time).
He donated two goals and two assists to Mohamed Salah. The defense has completely collapsed. It was also painful for Son Heung-min to remain silent. Son Heung-min, who had a reputation as a Liverpool killer, was quiet on this day.
In the meantime, there has been a lot of criticism about coach Postecoglou's weakness in defense.
However, he remained completely indifferent. Son Heung-min also said 'defensive training for set pieces is necessary', but Postecoglou turned a blind eye, saying 'The will of the players is an important issue'.
For some time, it has been a hot topic in the local media. In the end, Son Heung-min was right, but Postecoglou adopted a way to compensate for his defensive weaknesses with strong offense.
The limits were clear. He was punished thoroughly against Liverpool.
The BBC said: "'Postecoglou had a mindless approach to defence after a 3-0 lead in the Carabao Cup quarter-final last Thursday and only won 4-3. Postecoglou's entertainment (offensive football) came to know the price when he was brutally punished by Liverpool in front of his supporters.
The media showed why Liverpool is competing for the championship and why Tottenham remains in 11th place, eight points behind fourth place. Postecoglou's entertainment was reduced to torture when exposed to a team with the same top quality of attack as Liverpool. The expected total score for Liverpool was 4.6 goals and Tottenham 1.2 goals. Liverpool has created nine big chances, according to a measurement by the sports statistics Opta. In other words, the score (6 goals) higher than the expected score is evidence of Tottenham's defensive weakness, which Postecoglou does not offer a solution at all.
