Andre Villas-Boas was last night fighting to save his job after seeing his team humiliated by Liverpool.

AVB’s £100million side did not register a single shot on target as Luis Suarez and Co ran riot at White Hart Lane.

Bookies have mad the Portuguese odds on to be sacked as the atmosphere at the Lane turned venomous with fans calling for their manager to quit.

But defiant Villas-Boas insisted he will not walk away. He said: “Regarding my position, it is not for me to decide. I can only work to make things better.

“I won’t resign and I’m not a quitter. The only thing I can do is work hard with the players and try and get the results back on track.

“I don’t need to convince anyone. Our run is magnificent in the other competitions but not in the Premier League.

“Our form in the Premier League is not there, our ambition to win trophies is the same and to qualify for the Champions League is the same.”

The demolition ends a run of four wins and a draw for Spurs since their 6-0 thrashing at Manchester City last month.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers – without injured captain Steven Gerrard and striker Daniel Sturridge – hailed his team’s display.

He said: “It was a brilliant all-round performance. The level of football was superb. We were like animals without the ball. Our hunger to get it back was great.

“We got five goals and arguably we could have had seven or eight.”

Stand-in skipper Suarez was man of the match yet again. He said: “It’s no different being captain but Liverpool has only one captain and that is Stevie Gerrard.

“I try my best on the pitch, I am a striker and try to score. Today most important is the performance of the team.”
