Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to lay into Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp after he was heavily critical of their League Cup elimination in midweek.
Spurs went two goals ahead against West Ham at Wembley only to fall apart in the second half as the visitors secured a 3-2 victory and a place in the last eight of the competition.
Former Tottenham midfielder Redknapp did not hold back in his criticism of the team and also pointed the finger at Mauricio Pochettino, who is yet to pick up any silverware during his three-and-a-bit years at the club.
Redknapp told Sky Sports, as quoted by their website: “I’d go as far as to there was too much arrogance from Tottenham. They got all the plaudits, and rightfully so, after Sunday – they were fantastic and outworked Liverpool in every department.
“Today’s performance was a shocker. To go from being two goals up and completely in control to losing the game showed signed of arrogance and complacency. With the players he has got, it won’t be long until he’s judged on what he’s (Mauricio Pochettino) won.
“You could say that this competition is the last of Pochettino’s priorities but it’s not, this is a great marker to put down.
“With a trophy in the bank, it could have provided a feel-good factor for the rest of the season to go on and win more.”
Tottenham fans were unimpressed with Redknapp’s observations, pointing out on social media how his father Harry regularly treated the League Cup as an irrelevance when he was manager of the club.
Others also claimed that the former midfielder had an agenda against Spurs because Harry was sacked by chairman Daniel Levy.
This Is Futbol has rounded up some of their best tweets:
Any excuse to have a dig at Spurs eh Redknapp!! You’d think you’d defend Spurs more as an ex player, mind you not much playing was done tbh!
