Postecoglou's Liverpool comment

Ange Postecoglou pointed to Liverpool's defeat at the hands of Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup fourth round as evidence of the challenges Tottenham Hotspur faces amid the team's extensive injury woes.

Arne Slot rested ten players for the Reds' loss in Devon, while Spurs were missing 11 key squad members for their defeat by Aston Villa.

In the wake of Spurs' recent setback, Postecoglou cited Liverpool's upset during an interview on BBC Radio 5 Live, outlining how his own team's significant number of injuries is hampering its form.



"If you take nine, 10 or 11 players out of any team for one weekend, I reckon it'll affect them; we've been like this since mid-November," Postecoglou commented.

When asked whether this was the main issue or if there were deeper problems, Postecoglou retorted: "Well, I'll ask you the question: if you take 11 players - how did Liverpool go today?" He elaborated on the depth of Spurs' challenges, prodding further: "We're not talking about one or two - and not just for one weekend, by the way.

So get Liverpool to do that for the next two and a half months."
