Tim Sherwood has said Tottenham’s players are the reason for the club’s weak start to the 2019-20 campaign, not the manager, Mauricio Pochettino.
Spurs was part of the EPL’s top four for a fourth successive year last season and even reached their first-ever UCL final.
Sadly, the club has failed to reach that height in recent months, dropping to 14th in the EPL after 12 games, and Tim believes the players should be blamed for the poor form.
His words, “I don’t blame the manager, I blame the players,”
“They have to look at themselves and have that bravery when things are not going well to get on the ball in dangerous areas and really take the game to the opposition.
“Because, at the moment, a few of them look like they’re hiding.
“When you have a bad run of form you always look for excuses why, and everyone is pointing to the obvious one, which is the uncertainty amongst the squad.
“Three or four players are out of contract and others are coming quite close to running their contracts down next year. That’s not what Pochettino wants, he wants players who are going to be there for the long term.
“But, you still need to get the best out of what you’ve got.”
