Ange Postecoglou has taken a weird swipe at Liverpool as he mirrored upon the sixteenth Premier League defeat that his Tottenham Hotspur facet have suffered this season.
Spurs misplaced 1-0 at Chelsea on Thursday evening and had an equaliser disallowed after a VAR assessment, with the Australian accusing the Stockley Park enter of ‘killing the sport’ in a tense on-air alternate with Sky Sports activities reporter Patrick Davison afterwards.
In a subsequent press convention, the 59-year-old known as out the membership’s earlier gamers who’ve since gone into pundity and, in his view, fail to spotlight controversial selections which go towards his workforce in the identical method that he feels is afforded to the Reds by the likes of Jamie Carragher.
As per The TelegraphPostecoglou raged: “I feel within the time I’ve been right here, we’ve had two selections which have gone for us towards Liverpool and there was a nationwide marketing campaign, virtually. It looks as if each struggle finally ends up being an inner struggle at this membership. There’s by no means any form of defending of the membership or the membership defending itself.”

Unusual remarks from Postecoglou…
These feedback from the Spurs supervisor appear fairly weird, particularly when controversy marked each of his wins over Liverpool since taking his present function.
Even he steered that the Reds have been laborious achieved by when, within the build-up to Lucas Bergvall’s profitable purpose within the Carabao Cup semi-finals in January, the teenager scythed down Kostas Tsimikas having already been on a yellow card.
Then, in fact, there was the ludicrous VAR mess-up over Luis Diaz having a superbly professional strike dominated out for a nonexistent offside once we misplaced 2-1 in north London final season, the identical match during which we have been decreased to 9 gamers, with Curtis Jones’ dismissal that night notably harsh.
We share Postecoglou’s disdain for the inexcusable length of many evaluations from Stockley Park, however for somebody who claims to have been a ‘huge Liverpool fan‘ rising up, he’s liable to taking unnecessary digs at his obvious boyhood membership.
When Spurs have been knocked out of the FA Cup on the identical day that we exited the competitors towards Plymouth Argyle in February, he requested ‘How did Liverpool go right now?‘ in his post-match press convention.
We predict that the Australian could be finest served by attempting to deal with his underperforming workforce’s ongoing points as a substitute of taking weird potshots on the membership he pertains to have as soon as supported.
