Jermain Defoe has slammed Tottenham Hotspur’s players for lacking courage. And hiding after they were beaten 2-1 by Aston Villa in the FA Cup.
Spurs lost their last six league and cup matches following a 4-0 Carabao Cup exit to Liverpool on Thursday.
Defoe urged his players to take responsibility for their poor performances, while Dion Dublin has slammed Son Heung-min’s lack of finishing.
“We like to call it hiding and Son Heung-min is in that phase now. He had a shot from eight yards and he passed the ball instead,” Dublin told the แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ. “Son looks completely lacking in confidence. He gets his finishing all wrong.” Defoe added: “I can’t believe he didn’t take it. Sometimes players are so scare and at times like this. What you need to do is get back to your basics and work together as a team. “
There’s been a lot of talk about Spurs at the moment, the chairman and the manager, but in the end… The players have to take responsibility for their own performances. “
Everyone talks about injuries, we have a lot of key players missing but if Spurs get those players back and finish the season stronger then everything will be better.”
The moment Dublin and Defoe were talking about came in the second half when Son had a chance to shoot but instead laid the ball on to Yves Bissouma, who was in a worse position.
Joe Hart added: “It’s a problem for the whole team, and everyone has to work on it. Son is a player who has been at Spurs for a long time. The game analysis meeting is very important because there are things that need to be improved and this is the moment to do it. “
They are playing differently to what we have trained for at the moment. Everyone knows Spurs are a possession-based team but if you are going to play like this then everyone has to have options in their passing. “
The team has to play in the same direction, no matter what the plan is or what it looks like. It’s not the right formula at the moment and that has to be fixed quickly.”
