Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou has described external criticism of his team as "irrelevant" following their 4-1 aggregate defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semifinals.

Leading 1-0 from the semi-final first leg, Spurs were blown away at Anfield as goals from Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai and Virgil van Dijk set up a showpiece for Arne Slot's side against Newcastle at Wembley next month.

Despite a lack of activity during the transfer window, Ange Postecoglou made one signing who is going to replace Heung-min Son in years to come. Spurs have been troubled with an injury crisis all season and will be without ten first-team players for Thursday’s EFL Cup second-leg clash with Liverpool.
