Ange Postecoglou came out swinging less than 24 hours after Tottenham Hotspur’s defeat to Liverpool by insisting he doesn’t care about criticism coming from people 'a million miles away'.

Also speaking on Sky Sports, Jamie Carragher was even more damning by claiming that League Two Accrington Stanley caused Liverpool more problems in the FA Cup last month.

Responding to the criticism on Friday, Postecoglou said: “I get the pile-on at the moment, it’s really easy for people to stick their boots in and question the players and all that kind of stuff.

“That’s not something I question.

Just getting back out there and playing the football I know we can and getting a result on Sunday.”

Tottenham return to action against Aston Villa in the FA Cup on Sunday, and when asked if he uses the criticism for extra motivation, Postecoglou said: “No, because I don’t know which people I’m meant to be proving wrong.

“It’s irrelevant to me what other people’s opinions are.

They’re allowed to do that, but I don’t have any obligation to listen to any of it.

“To get fuelled by the comments of people I’ve never even met, I don’t know how you live your life, but I certainly don’t live my life that way.

That’s with all respect that they’re there to give an opinion.

“It’s not like I want to be successful here so I can go to these people and say to them, ‘Oh, look, you were wrong.’ I don’t even know them.

They’re a million miles away from us, but they’re allowed to have their opinion.”
