ROY KEANE FINALLY HITS BACK AT 25-YEARS OLD TOTTENHAM STAR WITH SAVAGE CALL-OUT & GLARE WHICH MADE SKY STUDIO NERVOUS

Roy Keane has said that one spur player is ‘almost like a League Two player’ in one key area as he criticised the Tottenham star’s all-round performance against chelsea

The boy struggled to make an impact at the white hart lane as Chelsea won 0-1 at half time.
He missed the ball when attempting to connect with a rebound from a late corner, in what was an extremely rare off day in front of goal for the prolific forward.
Speaking on sky sport after the game, keane was critical of spur display – and turned his attention to how deja performed.
He said: “The levels of his general play are so poor. Not just today – I think his laying stuff off, headers, whatever it might be.
“In front of goal, he’s the best in the world.
“But for his general player, for such a player, it is so poor. Not just today – he has to improve that. He’s almost like a League Two player, that’s how I look at him.
Ange Postecoglou never likes you to think that you’ve got him or his team figured out and so it proved once again on Saturday after Tottenham beat Luton.
spurs have struggled to find a way through in the first half of every home game this year. They have not scored a single goal in the first 45 minutes of any match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2024.
Postecoglou may well point out that his team has won all but two of those matches but the point remains. There’s something about Tottenham’s final third play that is not clinical enough to put them in control of home games at the moment, to give the supporters’ heart rates a little bit of an easier time as the time ticks on.
Instead Spurs have had to find the goals later in encounters, often after conceding first, but when Postecoglou was asked whether another first half without a goal was something that he wanted to change, he thought for a moment and then scrunched up his nose.
“I don’t know, no, not really. The disappointing thing about the first half is the goal we conceded. Our football was good. We created good chances, one-vs-ones, we hit the post, they blocked quite a few shots and they defended desperately. I think overall there was nothing wrong with our football. The goal we conceded, yeah that was poor and that’s something we need to address,
“With a lot of our football it becomes a war of attrition. We need to put pressure on the opposition because we know we’re going to run our games really strongly and I thought we made Luton work really hard in the first half and I thought you saw in the last 10 to 15 minutes that they paid the price for that.”

Tottenham Hotspur defenders Cristian Romero and Emerson Royal had to be separated during half-time as they trailed against Liverpool

Tottenham Hotspur defensive duo Cristian Romero and Emerson Royal were involved in an altercation as they went in at half-time against Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp’s side put the North London club under immense pressure in the first-half taking a two-goal lead into the second-half.

Mohamed Salah returned to the scoresheet with a near-post header before Andy Robertson doubled the lead on the stroke of half-time. The Merseyside club enjoyed the lion’s share of possession and the Spurs goal were under siege for most of the opening 45

Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold enjoyed particular defensive freedom down the right-hand side but the hosts were largely thwarted by Guglielmo Vicario. The 27-year-old had to step in to be peacemaker as his two team-mates clashed, hauling Romero away from the Brazilian defender.

But they should have that type of aggression in their defending and in their play. Spurs have been very very poor. I don’t mind that, but you have to bring that kind of aggression in their general play, which we have not seen from Spurs.”

Royal was involved shortly after the restart as he was dispossessed by Harvey Elliott in the build-up to Liverpool’s third. Cody Gakpo rose highest over Romero to net his seventh Premier League of the season.
