Fraser Forster hasn’t enjoyed the best of weeks between the sticks for Tottenham.

Postecoglou’s decision to leave one defender out appeared to backfire as Liverpool ran riot in the Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday [22 December].

Arne Slot’s side scored six times in North London, eventually walking out 6-3 winners, with several of Postecoglou’s high-profile stars letting their manager down in one of the craziest games of the season thus far.

Although Spurs do have several key defenders unavailable, fans would have still hoped for more from those that did play, with everyone across the back five at sixes and sevens.

And while Forster wasn’t at his worst, making some key saves at times, he once again showed signs of weakness, which seemed to amuse Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville.

The goalkeeper gave the ball away to Mohamed Salah early on in the match, and while commentating on Sky Sports’ live coverage of the match, Neville said [via BBC Sport, 22 December, 4:34 pm], “You have to laugh as that wouldn’t be my first pass as a goalkeeper after what happened on Thursday evening.”

Fraser Forster struggles again as Liverpool thrash Tottenham

Forster was all over the place in Spurs’ 4-3 Carabao Cup win over Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday [19 December].

Therefore, he would have been hoping for a routine afternoon against Liverpool to get back on track. However, that is not at all what the 36-year-old got, instead shipping six goals in a topsy-turvy game.

As per Sofascore, while Forster did make six saves, with two of those coming from inside the box, he prevented -2.23 goals overall, while he also made an error which led to a shot.

In addition, while he did complete 85 per cent of his passes and play four accurate long balls, he managed to be dribbled past once and win zero per cent of the ground duels that he contested.

Therefore, Postecoglou will be hoping for much more from Forster going forward as he attempts to figure out just what happened against Liverpool.
