“He’s not positive at his position,error prone player”,Paul Merson slammed Tottenham star over disgusting error he caused that cost Tottenham game

Ange Postecoglou had eggs thrown in her face after Paul Merson questioned Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s involvement in Tottenham’s 2-3 loss to Arsenal on Sunday (April 28)
With the Gunners’ attacking threat courtesy of Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard, many expected to see at least one Yves Bissouma or Pape Matar Sarr in the starting line-up at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday April 28
However, Postecoglou chose the more experienced Hojbjerg to head the ball but this choice was completely wrong as the midfielder scored an own goal, opening the scoring for Arsenal, who were leading 3-0 at break time
Ahead of kick-off via Sky Sports on Sunday (April 28, 1:pm), Merson shared his concerns about the 28-year-old’s involvement: “Bissouma is a fast player much more
When you leave Hojbjerg, you will disappear
With Bissouma or Sarr they move around, but this boy will want to play, he thinks he is a player
“His natural move was to hang on to him [Odegaard] but I think he fell asleep before the match was over and I think Odegaard would have completely destroyed him
” Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s selection backfires for Tottenham against Arsenal Spurs got off to a terrible start as Hojbjerg headed into his own net before Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz piled on the misery to set the score 3-0 before halftime
Despite an 86% pass success rate, including 11 passes in the final third, the midfielder’s defensive shortcomings were exposed as Odegaard made him look an idiot
[FotMob] Hojbjerg only made 33% of his tackles throughout the match, showing how right Merson was as players were able to easily evade Spurs’ men
He also only won 62% of his ground duels and 33% of his air duels, suggesting Postecoglou should have started Sarr or Bissouma in his place
Looking back at the second leg in September, the aforementioned duo were chosen to play in midfield against the Gunners, a match that ended in a 2-2 score rather than a 3-2 defeat
In this match, the following player completed 90 minutes with 50% of his tackles, 67% of his duels on the ground and 100% of his duels in the air
[FotMob] With these statistics, one wonders why Postecoglou chose to change midfielders for the second north London derby of the season
