Jamie Carragher Criticized again Ange PostecoglouAfter the 6–3 loss to Tottenham, he commented that “no one has ever played like that and won anything” of its tactical set-up. Liverpool.
Carragher was speaking on Sky Sports after the match, which Liverpool dominated from start to finish. The scoreline arguably flattered Spurs after a disjointed performance that allowed the visitors to create nine big chances and take 24 shots.

He added, “No one has ever won anything by playing like this.
