We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Tottenham and Liverpool.

Here are some of your comments:

Tottenham fans

Rachael: Our shortcomings and naivety were ruthlessly exploited by a great Liverpool team. I don't think our best XI, had they been available, could have matched Liverpool. If you watched that game as a neutral, you would enjoy that - but not as a Spurs fan.

Steve: Shambles from the coach yet again. Yes, we are missing defenders but we conceded goals galore when they were fit. There is no structure or balance to team and that is down to the coach. Why play a high-line against the fastest front three in the league? Brave? Brainless is the answer. He is on borrowed time.

Andrew: Simply shocking. There are no excuses. Nothing learned, the same spineless performance. Sack manager and start again.

Martin: I don't believe we can keep persisting with this style of football. I want Spurs to play good, attractive football, but not with this suicidal approach to defending and pressing. We don't have the quality or depth of squad to do this. Ange Postecoglou, rethink please.

Mickey: We are further off the top teams than we have been for many years. Ange is great as a 'mate', but we need more than that.

Liverpool fans

Kojo: This was always going to be a high-scoring game, given Spurs' all-attacking, high-pressing game. They might have overpowered Manchester City and other clubs but, against a rampant Liverpool, Tottenham's high line was exposed with swift counter-attacks, defence splitters and balls behind the line. Spurs were lucky not to concede double digits here.

Dax: I don't like saying this, but I would have taken a 2-0 win over a 6-3 win. Yes, Tottenham were there for the taking but our defence should have been more solid. We have been horribly exposed in recent games, shipping three goals at Newcastle, two at Southampton and Fulham. Stronger teams would have hammered us. We are becoming complacent and too confident. Earlier in the season, our defence was almost impenetrable. Conceding 11 goals in five games isn't good enough.

Charlie: Fantastic again. I'm not happy conceding three goals, but they are human after all. We have just got to keep the momentum going. If we can win the game in hand, it bodes well for the title, but we can't afford a blip.

Derek: Great performance from the team. Gomez was outstanding at the back and Salah was just phenomenal up front. Six goals scored, but it could have been 10.

Alfie: Formidable side. They haven't even come out of first gear. It is incredible football to watch. One at a time, bring them all on and smash them all. At least two trophies this campaign, one of those the Premier League title. A brilliant team, well done Liverpool.
