Swede knows after 6-3 defeat there are moments for team to be more solid, more savvy, to consider the broader context

For Dejan Kulusevski and Tottenham, there were a good few moments during Sunday’s 6-3 home defeat against Liverpool when the nerves jangled, when their faith in who they are under Ange Postecoglou had to have been tested. Most obviously on 61 minutes when Mohamed Salah scored for 5-1.

A few minutes before that, the Liverpool goalkeeper, Alisson, had played a long straight ball upfield and suddenly the outstanding Dominik Szoboszlai had a one-on-one with the Spurs goalkeeper, Fraser Forster, which he could not take. Trent Alexander-Arnold would work Forster from distance a little bit later. Luis Díaz then had a chance.
