Ange Postecoglou needs to review his risk-and-reward calculation

Postecoglou is right about that, but it was interesting to remember his words while listening to Tottenham fans in the last few minutes of their 3-6 defeat against. What emotion were the crowd feeling in this moment? By the sounds of it, stunned disbelief. They were dumbstruck by the inanity of what they had just witnessed.
“No, because that would give us multitudes of other problems. We are where we are and will progress because of the way we play and I don’t think we need to protect anyone in our team.” Multitudes of other problems. Two minutes into the Liverpool game Forster took a short pass from a team-mate and, with an air of careful deliberation, passed directly to Mohamed Salah 15 yards away. Luckily for Spurs, Salah’s instant shot went just the wrong side of the near post.
The same Liverpool back five started at Tottenham on Sunday, and Trent Alexander-Arnold had another of those astonishing games where you are excited to see what he is going to do with every passing opportunity. One ridiculous early ball towards Salah seemed to almost boomerang back into the Egyptian’s path, allowing him a shot from a position where there had seemed no angle to reach him.
It was a performance to remind everybody why Real Madrid want Alexander-Arnold to replace their long-serving right-back Dani Carvajal. After the game the fullback’s future became the focus of intense debate among the TV pundits.
