Ange Postecoglou may already have Tottenham answer after telling post-match Liverpool comment

It was a case of too little, too late for Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham side on Sunday afternoon as they mounted a late comeback at Anfield. Trailing 4-0 inside an hour, Spurs gave themselves a glimmer of hope following goals from Richarlison and Son Heung-min.

Cutting through the Liverpool team with ease at times to get into some very promising positions in the final third, the home fans sensed a nervy finale with the visitors creating a handful of openings. Liverpool, on the other hand, had chances of their own to add to the scoreline with gaps appearing across the Spurs backline as they pushed on for a third goal.

It was very similar to the team's 4-2 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion over the festive period as they again trailed by four goals before netting twice in the closing stages. Giving themselves such a huge mountain to climb at Anfield after conceding some very poor goals from a Tottenham perspective, another area that Spurs were poor in was the final third.

Opting to start Son in a central role again with Richarlison unable to do back-to-back starts following his recent injury, Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson were either side of the South Korean in the front three. Apart from a ball that Johnson fizzed across the box that his teammates couldn't get on the end of in the first half, the trio did nothing of note to trouble Liverpool's backline prior to Postecoglou rolling the dice.

Son got no change at all out of Virgil van Dijk and Jarell Quansah, with the two Liverpool centre-backs totally nullifying the Tottenham captain. Amid question marks over his striker role in recent weeks, this showing from the 31-year-old did nothing to change the opinion of many that he should be utilised on the left flank by
