Tottenham's inconsistent form has seen Postecoglou's position called into question by some supporters and pundits, but his all-out attacking approach has provided entertainment.

After beating Manchester United 4-3 in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, Spurs have scored three or more goals on nine separate occasions this campaign.

In all competitions this season, Tottenham has scored 55 goals and conceded 31 in 25 matches.

After the midweek win, Postecoglou said he loved "every bit" of Spurs' latest chaotic performance, and he feels criticism of his methods has gone too far at times.

"You kind of feel that 26 years of hard graft should get you a little more respect, and I'm not the only one," Postecoglou said ahead of Monday's (AEDT) meeting with Liverpool.

"I have seen it happen to Unai [Emery, during his spell with Arsenal] and Nuno when he was here.

"I get that not everyone will be a fan of the way I do things and even on the way I play, people will have different opinions.

"That's normal, that's healthy but some of it has been pretty dismissive."

Former Liverpool defender-turned-pundit Jamie Carragher described Tottenham as the most entertaining team in the Premier League, while also labelling it as naïve.

Asked about Carragher's comments, Postecoglou said: "People tell me he likes me so that's a good thing. 

"They say, 'did you hear what he said? But he likes you as a person,'. So, that's important to me. It's all valid, but I don't need validation from anybody to do what I do.

"Whether you agree with my approach or not, there is validity in both, and I don't have an issue with that. I love the fact people are talking about our games and analysing our games."

Tottenham has only won two of its past 23 Premier League games against Liverpool, drawing six and losing 15.

However, it did beat the Reds 2-1 in a controversial game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last September, and could now register successive home league victories against them for the first time since a run of five between 2008 and 2012.
