Jamie Carragher accuses Liverpool boss of lying about Spurs

Jamie Carragher believes Arne Slot was trying to lure Ange Postecoglou into a trap with his comments ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Spurs on Sunday.

Liverpool ran out 6-3 winners in a thrilling encounter in north London, ensuring they will be top of the league at Christmas.

Slot will probably be disappointed with his side conceding three goals despite dominating the game, but for all their faults, Spurs can often be very difficult to keep out.

Still, Liverpool fully exposed Tottenham’s defensive flaws, with Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz both netting twice, while Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai found the net.

During his pre-match press conference, Slot defended Postecoglou, saying that Spurs season ticket holders get the best value for money and that it is a “privilege” to watch his games.

“They are consistent in their style of play, they always like to attack. Sometimes they’re a bit unlucky because they dominated against Man Utd yesterday,” Slot said (via Liverpool.com).

“I don’t think there are many season ticket holders in the country who see so many big games at Tottenham, maybe Liverpool! It’s a privilege to watch their games. They play with such great style. It’s not a club that has historically won things before Ange. He reclaimed that identity.”

Jamie Carragher makes a brazen accusation of Arne Slot

Carragher isn’t buying Slot’s defense of Postecoglou, instead accusing the Liverpool boss of luring his Spurs counterpart into a trap to allow them run riot.

“People thought he was defending Postecoglou, I don’t think so,” Carragher said. Sky Sports after Sunday’s game.

“I was desperate for Tottenham to play the same way. Liverpool could have scored 10!

“Everybody I talked to after that press conference, it was obvious.”
