Aston Villa legend Gabby Agbonlahor has given Tottenham both barrels on talkSPORT this week, in a savaging attack upon what Daniel Levy’s been striving to achieve.
In fairness to Gabby, this is a Gatling gun approach, and as a result, as well hitting some targets, a good number of bullets also wildly missed. Tanguy Ndombele can’t be casually written off as not being good enough. Clearly there are massive issues, and until he can get with the programme, it will be frustrating, but the 23-year-old’s footballing ability isn’t in doubt.
As far as Giovani Lo Celso being merely ‘decent’, but not capable of kicking Spurs onward and upward, this is frankly hilarious.
Serge Aurier is probably due all the heat he incurs, but Eric Dier actually had decent game against The Blades, despite the scoreline. Sanchez, less so.
What really lets Gabby down here though is painting Danny Rose as a hero. Forget Rose’s questionable footballing abilities of the last few seasons, the boy clearly spent more time ‘opening his heart’ to The Sun than was healthy.
The problem anyone faces trying to defend this attack on Spurs, is that table doesn’t lie. Manchester United are currently 10 points in front of us in the league and trying to tease themselves some European football for next season. Oh, and Liverpool are European and English champions.
