Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has criticised what he perceives as “a narrative of trying to set this club up for some sort of fall.” The 59-year-old has previously criticised what he sees as a lack of defence of Spurs in the media.

Ange Postecoglou is adamant that Tottenham Hotspur are set on delivering a strong showing at Sunday's clash with Liverpool, despite many thinking they'd be content to leave Anfield without further injuries.

Spurs’ influential skipper did not travel to Germany for last week’s crucial quarter-final second-leg win over Eintracht Frankfurt that sealed a 2-1 victory on aggregate and kept the club’s season alive, having been ruled out with a lingering foot injury.
