Tottenham ace makes a point regarding fans, could be the reason behind his struggles
Tottenham Hotspur defender Matt Doherty has revealed that having the crowd back influences his game massively and he is able to put on a high level of performance. The 29-year-old joined the London club from Wolverhampton Wanderers back in 2020 but he has not been able to hold down a regular starting berth at Spurs. The defender made just 17 appearances in the Premier League last season. The Republic of Ireland international has been criticised for his inconsistency and defensive lapses.

‘Clearly issues off the field’ – Former Spurs ace reacts to 24-yr-old’s struggles under Nuno
French international midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has struggled to live up to the expectations since his £55 million transfer to Tottenham Hotspur from Lyon. The midfielder was signed by the former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino and he struggled to hold down a regular starting berth after the Argentine’s departure.

Back in August, Nuno publicly urged the player to prove himself worthy of a place in the side. The player was linked with a move away from Tottenh...

‘He would have gone there’: Paul Merson makes a big claim about Spurs player
Popular football pundit, Paul Merson, has suggested that Manchester United have made a mistake by not signing Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur. The Red Devils made a stunning move towards the end of the transfer window by bringing back their former player Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford from Juventus. While the 36-year-old Portuguese still remains a top-class player, Merson feels he won’t be as effective as he was during his prime years at Old Trafford. Merson is doubtful whether Ronaldo can inspire United into winning the league title, and feels the Red Devils should have gone after Kane instead. Merson wrote for the Daily Record: “Harry Kane wins you the league. With the money they have spent on Jadon Sancho and Ronaldo, surely you try and get Kane? I think he would have gone there. U...
