- Tottenham lost 4-0 against Liverpool in his second stage of Copao Cup semifinal
- The Ange Postecoglou side has received many criticism from the game
- Listen now: Everything is starting! Does Premier League really need to look at goal celebrations?
Ang Postecoglou was fighting on behalf of his besieged players from Tottenham after a flood of criticism after his departure from the Carabao Cup in Liverpool.
Television and radio experts weighed to accuse spurs of lack of fire after they were defeated 4-0 in Anfield on Thursday.
Jamie Carragher in Sky Sports said Accrington Stanley had given the Reds of Arne Slot a better game in a recent draw of the Fa and Jamie Redknapp accused them of falling without fighting.
Even Michael Dawson, a former Tottenham captain now among the club's ambassadors, agreed that they lacked “character” and “desire.”
“I have the battery at this time,” said Postecoglou. 'It is really easy for people to put their boots and question players and all that kind of thing. That is not something that question. He disappointed that it wasn't as we wanted, that we really did not perform at the levels we wanted.
'That does not define this group of players for any section, in my eyes. We will go on Sunday and perform a more action that reflects where we are.

'I believe a lot in this group of players, and in what are happening and how they are dealing with him. They were disappointed. We are all disappointed. But we will learn from that.
The Spurs have to get up to go to Aston Villa in the FA Cup on Sunday, but Postecoglou insists that it is not about demonstrating that people are wrong.
“I don't know what people you should be demonstrating badly,” he said. 'It is irrelevant to me what other people's opinions are. People are on television and radio and newspapers to give opinions and respect it.
'They are allowed to do that, but I have no obligation to listen to any of that. To be fed by the comments of the people I have never met, I do not know how you live your life, but certainly I do not live my life in that way.
'That is with all the respect they are there to give an opinion. It's not as if I wanted to succeed here to go to these people and tell them “Oh, look, you were wrong.” I don't even know them. Why would I mind where they think we are?
'They are one million miles away from us, but they are allowed to have their opinion.
'We are an easy brand at this time, and taking care of it last night, there are times when you just have to take it, maintain your advice and atone for the way it only matters and that is to play football I know we can.
Postecoglou defended his own position after a Caabao Cup race in which the Spurs beat Manchester City and Manchester United, and became one of the only three teams to beat Liverpool this season, winning the first leg of Semifinal 1-0.

“We are an easy brand at this time, I understand it,” he said. 'Obviously, making a semifinal is an absolute disaster because we don't play well last night. I guess not doing the semifinal would have put us in a better place.
'That is the way people see us right now. We are an easy brand, as I said. When we have a disappointing night, as we did last night, it provides the opportunity for everyone to go as hard as possible. Alright. There is only one way to change that, that's with us. Just go out and play football that I know we can. And get a result on Sunday.
