Former Arsenal man, Stewart Robson, has criticised Harry Winks and he told ESPN that he isn’t sure about what the England international brings to Jose Mourinho’s side.
Winks is one of Spurs’ trusted midfielders from the days of Mauricio Pochettino when he first broke into the first team.
He has remained a key part of the set up under Jose Mourinho despite the Portuguese manager signing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton in the summer.
The form of the likes of Moussa Sissoko and Tanguy Ndombele has seen him struggle for a place in the first team this season.
He started Tottenham’s game against Royal Antwerp last night and Spurs were beaten by the resilient Belgian side.
If Winks was expecting to win a place back in the team for Premier League matches after he missed the last league game against Burnley, his performance last night has not done him any favours.
Robson claims that he isn’t sure about what Winks offers to Spurs and accused him of making more square passes and lacking penetration when he has the ball.
He said to ESPN: “I’m not sure what he gives Spurs. I think he’s too square with his passing. He goes backwards. He keeps the ball, but there’s no penetration with his passing and he was one of the major problems with Spurs’ performance today.”
