Jermain Defoe, the former coach and striker for Tottenham, has accused the team of “hiding” during Sunday’s FA Cup loss to Athletic Villa.
Defoe didn’t hold back, referring to a time when captain Heung-min Son decided to pass instead of shoot when it was clear.
“I couldn’t believe it when he didn’t shoot,” he remarked. You do hide sometimes. Sometimes it’s best to return to the fundamentals.
You stick together as a group. It’s critical that they get together.
A lot of fuss has been made about Tottenham, the manager, and the chairman. The players must accept accountability.
You look at the infrastructure. It’s a challenging moment.
“Everyone is talking about the players who would start and the injuries. It will change once he regains those players and tries to finish the strong.
Dion Dublin, a hero for Aston Villa, also analyzed the Son incident on ITV, stating: “There are no options when you’re in this situation.
They don’t support themselves. We referred to it as hiding.
Son (Heung-min) is currently experiencing that stage. He missed the shot that was available from eight yards away.
“Son’s confidence just is not right, he’s choosing the wrong finish.”
