Tottenham manager Angie Postecoglou had something to say about the mounting criticism after stopping his bid for the championship with a 0-4 defeat in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semifinals against Liverpool on the 7th.
The second leg of the semifinal against Liverpool on the 7th, when the trip to the Wembley final was disastrously lethargic. For the first time, a valid shot was not recorded under Postecoglou's 'Dakgong' system. He also had only five shots. He lost 0-4 and had to give up his dream of winning again.
Jamie Redknapp, a former Tottenham captain, criticized Sky Sports shortly after the game, saying, `I've never seen a team collapse without fighting so properly.' Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher said to those who expected Tottenham to turn around "When did Tottenham win a big game. When did Tottenham ever surprise you?"
Ahead of Unai Emery's fourth round match against Aston Villa at Birmingham Villa Park at 2:35 a.m. on the 10th, Postecoglou said `It's very easy for people to kick a fallen person and question the players, but I don't.' "It was disappointing that the game didn't go the way we wanted it to and we didn't show the level of performance we wanted, but that doesn't mean we can define our players with that game." "We will show more performances that will show our status against Aston Villa on Sunday."
Asked if he could bring about a turnaround in the FA Cup despite the disappointment of Liverpool's defeat, Postecoglou said: `I have great faith in these players, the situation they are going through, the way they are dealing with it"The players were disappointed last night. We are all disappointed. But we'll learn from there, and we'll move on.'
When asked if the director should bear all the burden if he is criticized, he said "It's not like I have to bear it all" such criticism does not affect my actions or thoughts. I know we were easy opponents at that point. It's clear that the semi-final was a disaster because we didn't have a good game last night. If it wasn't for that semi-final, we could have gotten into a better position.' "But we are an easy team from the perspective of people looking at us now. It's been a disappointing night but everyone gets a chance to work hard and do their best again. That's fine. There's only one way to change this, ourselves. All we have to do is go back on the field and play the football we can, get the results on Sunday."
Asked if he would do the same against Aston Villa on Sunday when his team was attacked, Postecoglou shook his head firmly. It was read as a willingness to stick to what to do regardless of criticism. Postecoglou said, `I don't know who to prove wrong first. Other people's opinions have nothing to do with me. People come out on TV, radio and newspapers to give their opinions and I respect that. They can do that, but they have no obligation to listen to any of it.' "To be swayed by the opinions of people who don't even know what other people are like, I never live that way. I respect their opinions, but if I succeed here and go to them and 'Oh, look at this. I don't want to say, 'You're wrong.'" "I don't even know them. Why would I care about where they think we are. They are people hundreds of miles away from us. Of course they have the right to have their own opinions as well."
