José Mourinho will have a lot of work to do this season, according to a former player, who is unimpressed by his attitude and ability.
Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara has unleashed himself at the club, declaring that the team is full of “average” players who “look like a bunch of spoiled kids”.
The Spurs began their new season with a 1-0 loss to Everton with coach José Mourinho expressing his disappointment after the game and hitting the ‘lazy’ players.
Mourinho’s side face Bulgarian club Lokomotiv Plovdiv in a Europa League qualifier on Thursday night after Tottenham was only able to secure sixth place in the Premier League last season.
While the club is getting closer to sealing the return of Gareth Bale, O’Hara believes the Spurs face bigger issues moving forward with the team lacking in quality and the right level of desire.
“They look like a bunch of spoiled kids! Get some leaders and characters at camp and put your fingers out, this is the Spurs Football Club you’re playing for,” O’Hara said. talkSPORT.
“You go through that team: Davies, average; Alderweireld, average; Dier, below average; Doherty, just signed, decent; Hojbjerg, average; Winks, decent; There, average; Son, brilliant; Kane, brilliant; Lucas Moura, touch and go.
“We need centers with rhythm. We just signed Matt Doherty from the Wolves, who has been playing winger for years; He’s not a right back, he’s a lateral.
“So if you’re going to play him that high on the field, you need two center halves that are very, very fast and very, very good defenders one on one, because they are going to be exposed.
“You need to squeeze the pitch and be brave and push high. Whether they are done from behind or above, that’s up to me: I’m in charge.
“But I guarantee you that in the course of a season you will condense a field enough to recover the ball more in the high areas and be closer to be able to control football matches.
“They are so stretched out that it’s incredible. I mean, anyone could play the Spurs! ”
After their midweek clash in Bulgaria, Tottenham must back in the league on Sunday with an away game against Southampton.
The Spurs have been making a lot of news lately following the release of their Amazon documentary ‘All or nothing’, and former manager Mauricio Pochettino recently revealed that he only watched the first 25 minutes.
