Tottenham's loss to Liverpool was described as 'abject', 'damaging' and 'a disgrace' - so what next for Ange Postecoglou and Spurs?
Those were all words used to describe Tottenham's Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg defeat by Liverpool, as Spurs hit new lows in a season full of them.
Spurs have won just one trophy since Daniel Levy became chairman in 2001, although Postecoglou raised hopes that their fortunes would soon change when he said in September that he "always" wins something in his second season. In the 6-3 loss, they were open at the back but were set up to score too. But on Thursday, it was hard to see where a goal would come from.At Anfield, they had five shots, with none on target. They had just eight touches in the opposition box compared to Liverpool's 55. They had 41 successful passes in the final third compared to the Reds' 147.
"Everyone seems to find a way of beating this Tottenham side," said Redknapp. "And the manager right now, he baffles me with his tactics sometimes. I think he's completely lost in what he's trying to do."Tottenham's issues cannot be analysed without also addressing their injury problems. "When I look at those three midfield players today, they were a disgrace," said former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher.
"Right now, that is a typical Tottenham team. People say about Ange, the fans have got Spurs back, they've got their club back.
