Tottenham Hotspur once again failed to get the job done at Stamford Bridge, and former Spurs midfielder Jamie O’Hara did not hold back in his reaction to what he labelled a shocking display from the Lilywhites.
It was never an easy task for Tottenham Hotspur to go into a matchup against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Spurs have struggled to get a result at that ground for most of their visits there in the Premier League era, winning just once in 34 visits.
Yesterday’s clash, though, seemed to have a lot riding on it, with Tottenham needing just a point to secure their Premier League status with a game to spare.
It was not to be, however, as Spurs fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat after Enzo Fernandez and Andrey Santos put the Blues two goals up before Richarlison pulled one back for Tottenham.
Jamie O’Hara slams Tottenham, Kolo Muani, and Mathys Tel
That result now leaves Spurs in the same position they started the matchweek – two points clear of West Ham United and still needing at least a point in the final gameweek of the season.
Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara’s reaction to Spurs’ matchup against Chelsea has now been shared on talkSPORT.
The pundit was far from pleased with the display from the Lilywhites and quickly vented his frustration regarding several Tottenham players.
Reacting to Tottenham’s final attack of the game, with Pedro Porro bringing the ball forward, a visibly agitated O’Hara shouted: “Shoot Porro, cross it into the box…”
Neither was done, which only added to his frustration. He then added, “How could you pass it to the goalie!”
Speaking about Mathys Tel, O’Hara said, “He is so bad.”
He then delivered a furious assessment of the overall team performance, adding: “Absolutely disgusting, that team is disgusting… we are so bad… we do not deserve to be in the Premier League… we are terrible.
“Chelsea are absolutely rubbish, they are rubbish, and we gift them a goal in the second half, gift them a goal. Kolo Muani, one of the worst performances I have ever seen.
“Mathys Tel again, what a shocking performance again, absolutely shocking. Shocking team, shocking club. I am sick of this. We cannot create a chance; we do not know how to win a game. It is absolutely pathetic. Pathetic. That performance mate, is absolutely miles off it mate. We are so bad.”
Spurs now face huge Everton test
Up next for Tottenham in the Premier League is a game against Everton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs could well fancy their chances of getting a draw in that matchup, with the Toffees coming into the encounter in poor form.
David Moyes’ side are without a win in their last five outings and suffered defeat against Sunderland last time out. Spurs Web has since reported that Everton’s poor form could well work in favour of Tottenham.
However, with Spurs at home and given their dismal home record, Jamie O’Hara and several other fans will be left wondering whether their side can get over the line next weekend.
