Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou says it is "really easy" for people to "stick their boots" into his team.
Spurs were knocked out of the EFL Cup as they lost 4-0 in the semi-final second leg at Liverpool on Thursday night.
Postecoglou's side, who held a 1-0 lead going into the match at Anfield, failed to register a single shot on target in the return game.
Former Spurs captain Jamie Redknapp said on Sky Sports that he had never seen a team "go down with less of a fight".
"I get the pile on at the moment, it's really easy for people to stick their boots in and question the players, but I don't," said Postecoglou.
