How Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou abandoned principles in Anfield rout as Mathys Tel plays in baffling position JAMIE REDKNAPP put it best: "I cannot remember a team in my lifetime go down with less of a fight than Spurs did today.".

Yes indeed, Tottenham were brutally dismembered by a rampant Liverpool in Thursday night's Carabao Cup semi-final humiliation.

In all, Tel - the centre-forward Ange so desperately wanted - had just ONE touch of the ball in the box, in a not-so-dangerous position wide on the right and barely made it into the centre of the pitch.

But for as good as Liverpool were on the night, my goodness Tottenham allowed them to look like 2010-11 Barcelona with a dash of heavy metal Gegenpress.

Mohamed Salah converted a penalty early in the second half to take the aggregate lead, before Dominik Szoboszlai and Virgil van Dijk made it 4-0 to shovel salt in Spurs' seeping wound.
