Dion Dublin has taken aim at the Tottenham players after their 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa in the fourth round of the FA Cup, with the pundit suggesting that many Spurs players were hiding at Villa Park.
Tottenham deliver two abject performances in crucial matches
The back-to-back Carabao Cup and FA Cup games against Liverpool and Aston Villa were earmarked as crucial matches that could dictate Tottenham’s season a long time in advance.
Yet, not only did we see Spurs lose both matches, but they failed to even throw a punch at their opponents, crashing out of both competitions in an appalling fashion.
These results meant that Tottenham have little to play for domestically, which is a sorry situation, given that we are only at the start of February, with the pressure now being turned up on Postecoglou.
Dion Dublin accuses Spurs players of hiding
Dublin suggested that it is the players, not the manager, who is to blame for their latest loss at Villa Park.
He insisted that many Spurs players were not showing for the ball, thus limiting the options they had in possession. The former Villa centre-forward suggested that is a sign of a squad completely devoid of confidence at the moment.
Dublin even named club captain Heung-min Son as one of the players purposely hiding from the ball.
