Ange Postecoglou says even in-form Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah would find life a struggle at the moment in the Tottenham team he manages.<\/b><\/p>\n

Spurs are set to face the Reds in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday (20:00 GMT), during a difficult run of form.<\/p>\n

Tottenham have lost three and drawn one of their past four matches, including a 6-3 Premier League defeat by Liverpool on 22 December.<\/p>\n

Egypt international Salah scored twice in that game and has netted 21 goals from 27 appearances in all competitions during a particularly eye-catching campaign.<\/p>\n

However, under-pressure Postecoglou believes even having an “unbelievable player” in Salah at his disposal would have done little to improve their fortunes.<\/p>\n

“Mo is a world-class player, but if you put him in our team now I’m not sure he’ll have that same level of performance because of the situation we’re in as a group,” said the Spurs boss.<\/p>\n

“His attacking play, who do you need? You need a team that’s kind of in good form, creating opportunities, playing on the front foot, having a really solid foundation of a defence that is cohesive. None of these things exist at the moment.”<\/p>\n

Spurs head into the match against Arne Slot’s side with the news that captain Son Heung-min will stay at the club until at least the summer of 2026 after activating an option to extend his contract.<\/p>\n

Son has scored 169 times in 431 Spurs appearances, including seven goals in all competitions this season.<\/p>\n

Postecoglou felt the South Korean’s form does not reflect his true ability when compared with fellow 32-year-old Salah.<\/p>\n

“You’ve always got to give context. He [Salah] is playing in a fantastic team that are flying at the moment,” he explained.<\/p>\n

“I’d hazard to say that if you put Son Heung-min in Liverpool’s team, I reckon his goalscoring return would be decent. It’s hard for our players at the moment, they’re trying awfully hard to be the best they can be.<\/p>\n

“But when we’re at our best, I still think you’ll see Sonny’s return, in terms of his ability to score goals and be really effective for us. I don’t think that’s diminished at all.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
