Pundit fire Daniel Levy and Tottenham coach for playing that Tottenham old player that disrespect the team against wolves defeat

BBC PUNDIT SLAMS THREE TOTTENHAM PLAYERS AFTER WOLVES DEFEAT


Pundit Garth Crooks has criticised Tottenham Hotspur trio Eric Dier, Ben Davies and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg after losing at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to pay a ‘heavy price’ for losing three key players against Chelsea last week.

That is the verdict of pundit Garth Crooks, who has moved to criticise Tottenham defenders Eric Dier, Ben Davies and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Tottenham headed to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon, seeking a response after losing 4-1 to Chelsea.

Brennan Johnson fired Tottenham into an early lead but Spurs crumbled, conceding two late goals to hand Wolves a 2-1 win at Molineux.

Garth Crooks concerned about Tottenham Hotspur back line

This was never going to be an easy game for Tottenham after losing Micky van de Ven and James Maddison to injury last week.

Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie were sent off too, meaning Ange Postecoglou was without four key players against Wolves.

Eric Dier and Ben Davies came in for Romero and Van de Ven respectively whilst Emerson Royal started at left back in place of Udogie.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg started in midfield, providing more of a combative midfield option than the creative Maddison.

Pundit and former Tottenham striker Garth Crooks wasn’t impressed, telling BBC Sportthat Tottenham will now ‘pay a heavy price’ for losing Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie and Maddison.

Crooks slammed Hojbjerg for not tracking Mario Lemina’s run into the box for the winner, whilst criticising Dier and Davies for not even recognising the danger of a goal.

“You track your man into the box which Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg failed to do,” said Crooks. “Meanwhile, Ben Davies and Eric Dier never even saw the danger. Spurs look like they are about to pay a heavy price for the self-indulgence of Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie that saw them receive their marching orders against Chelsea,” he added.

Ange Postecoglou faces a tough challenge

The international break has probably come at an ideal time for Tottenham.

This just gives Spurs a chance to regroup and attempt to come back to Premier League action after the break.

However, the reality is that Tottenham may now face some rather difficult games without four vital players.

Maddison and Van de Ven, arguably the top two summer signings in the whole of the Premier League, will seemingly miss the rest of 2023.

The start of the Postecoglou era has been so encouraging but many Spurs fans will be bracing for a difficult end of the year as the absences pile up.
