Alan Shearer has launching a stinging attack on Mauricio Pochettino and Spurs’ faltering Premier League challenge.
Writing in The Sun the former Newcastle striker has accused Pocherrino of wasting £70m in the transfer market without anyt sign of improvement in his side.
Few tears were shed on Tyneside when Newcastle collected £30m for Moussa Sissoko with a disastrous domerstic campaign overlooked by a few promising displays for France at Euro 16.
Shearer believes that all of the top clubs have improved on last season- with one exception.
Looking at the criticism of Daniel Levy for not backing his manger Shearer stated: “Hang on, he spent nearly £70million on Victor Wanyama, Vincent Janssen, Moussa Sissoko and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou.
“None of them have improved Spurs. Also, there are players who did well for Spurs last season but whose levels have dropped — Eric Dier being one along with Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen.
“It may seem churlish after they suffered their first league defeat of the season on Saturday, but I see no improvement from a side that got so close to winning the title last campaign.
“It has been a sorry week for them, leaving serious question marks over the ability of this team and, indeed, some of the decisions by the manager. “
Since ending Manchester City’s 100% record with a 2-0 win at White Hart Lane at the start of October, Spurs have won just once- a 3-2 home win over West Ham thanks to two goals in the 89th and 90 minutes.
