Ahead Of The Match Against Liverpool, Tottenham Crisis: Mo Salah Will Also Be Difficult If Playing Here

Tottenham Hotspur will host Liverpool in the semifinals of the Carabao Cup first leg, Thursday, January 9, 2025, early morning WIB.

Spurs looked at the match in the midst of a game crisis. In the last 10 matches in all competitions, they have lost five times, only won twice, and drew three times.

In fact, in the last four matches, all in the Premier League, they did not win (three lost and one draw).

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has even said that players who are in the best form such as Mohamed Salah will have difficulty playing in Spurs.

Salah has been one of the most fit players in Europe this season, scoring 21 goals in 27 games and helping Liverpool to top the Premier League after 19 games.

However, it is impossible for him to repeat the level of the game if he plays for Tottenham this season.

"Mo is a world-class player. If you put him into our team now, I'm not sure he will have the same level of performance because of the situation we face as a group."

"The window attacks him, who do you need? You need a team that is in good form, creates chances, plays at the front lines, has a very solid and cohesive defense foundation. None of these things exist at this time (at Tottenham)," said Postecoglou on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.

The Australian coach has been criticized several times this season for his poor performances which only won two wins in the last 11 matches in all competitions.

As a result, Spurs were not seeded when they met Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semifinals. This means that winning the English League Cup title is far from the predictions of many people.
