‘Worst footballer I have ever seen’ – Some Spurs fans slate this starter after Newcastle game

Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Winks has been one of the brightest sparks in the Lilywhites academy and in English football in general over the past two seasons.

Since emerging as a first-team regular, the youngster has improved his game year on year, adding driving runs, ball retention, killer passes, and pace to burn.

However, over the past few months, that seems to have all gone out of the window, which was encapsulated by his performance against Newcastle.

The Spurs academy graduate’s game was reduced to simple and boring sideways passing, which he still managed to give away on numerous occasions.

We are used to seeing Winks collect the ball, look up, pick a pass, and play is positively, smoothly, and sharpish into feet.

He keeps the game moving and makes it far harder for opposition teams to shift from side to side when defending. However, yesterday, he slowed the game down to a painful level.

Some Spurs fans were not happy on Twitter:
