Roy Keane has slammed Tottenham Hotspur after back-to-back defeats, claiming that they lack courage.
Ange Postecoglou’s side fell to defeat to Chelsea in midweek before losing 4-2 to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
Son-heung min scored in both games, with Richarlison impressing from the bench in the latter fixture.
However, despite an improved performance towards the end of the match at Anfield, Keane was not impressed with Spurs.
Speaking on Sky Sports, he slammed the club: ‘We make the point. See it again against during the weekends, Chelsea and obviously Arsenal last week. It’s easy to play when you’re losing two or three-nil.
It really is. Players want it. You need to show that courage when you’re under real pressure. If it’s nil-nil, or you’re still very much in the game.’
He continued to state that Spurs’ improved performances when they’re losing will annoy Postecoglou more than impress him.
He said: ‘I think that’ll frustrate the manager. You know, we sometimes we sit here and we go, well, obviously they showed a bit of fight, but to me, it was just, and they conceded four against Newcastle as well, of course.
‘So it’s just, you want conviction in your play, and you want players to show that courage. And this team doesn’t show that.’
He finalised by discussing Spurs’ start to the season as he
‘Obviously, they had a good start to the season, but just recently, and these aren’t easy games, but when everybody wants the ball, when you’re two or three nil down, it’s too little, too late, and I don’t like to see that in teams.’
The north London side had the chance to put the pressure on Aston Villa in the race for fourh place.
Unai Emery’s side fell to a 1-0 defeat at Brighton earlier in the afternoon, with Spurs sitting seven points behind them with two games in hand.
After losing ot Liverpool, Postecoglou’s side have one game in hand on their Champions League rivals and will be hoping for a minor miracle if they are to claim the fourth place this season.
