Injury-ravaged Spurs conceded six at home in another painful defeat

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou snapped back at questions over his injury-ravaged defence after a 6-3 home loss to Liverpool.

Spurs served up another chaotic game to sign off on before Christmas, conceding three goals in each half as a rampant Reds side made clear their title credentials.

Postecoglou made no changes from the 4-3 win over Manchester United and his players were visibly tiring in the face of multiple injuries, as Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray and Djed Spence again deputised in defence.

"If you want to discount the fact we’re missing a goalkeeper, two centre-backs and left-back and that hasn't coincided with what we're doing… I don’t know what to say anymore. I think people make up their mind in their own way. They either think what I’m doing is good or bad, and that’s fine.

"It’s fairly significant, if you took out Liverpool’s goalkeeper, two centre-backs and a left-back - or any team other than Liverpool, they'd find it tough going as well."
