Tottenham's dramatic decline in form has come just at the crucial point of the Premier League season, writes Phil McNulty.

The only manager to suffer more consecutive defeats in charge of Tottenham in the Premier League than Ange Postecoglou is Ossie Ardiles Tottenham Hotspur walked out at Liverpool with the door ajar for their Champions League hopes, only for Ange Postecoglou’s fading side to trip and fall flat on their faces at Anfield.

The only moment of serious aggression came as Spurs walked off at half-time 2-0 down and keeper Guglielmo Vicario added to his catalogue of stops by stepping in swiftly to separate what threatened to turn into an ugly spat between team-mates Cristian Romero and Emerson Royal. Postecoglou’s upbeat post-match message was presumably the result of a desire not to give his players another lashing after his broadside last week at Chelsea, where they were beaten 2-0.

Spurs have shown the old lack of self-belief, hence why the frailties in their set-up - that make them far too easy to play and score against - have been brought into much sharper relief. James Maddison, outstanding early in the season, has gone off the boil completely and was only introduced as a substitute at Anfield.Tottenham have conceded the opening goal in each of their last four league games, their longest such run since January 2023
