Spurs could only manage a draw against Sporting and one man is to blame, but another is blasted for his ridiculousness. THFC
But the Spurs boss may well have reserved some of his anger for Royal, whose unnecessary bit of skill let Sporting “off the hook” towards the end of the game.
Spurs were knocking on the door for a winner and piling huge amounts of pressure on Ruben Amorim’s men. Royal, finding himself in plenty of space on the right, had time to pick a pass or deliver a cross but instead attempted a no-look pass to the overlapping Bryan Gil and completely overhit it. The ball went out for a Sporting goal-kick to a chorus of groans and shouts from the Spurs fans and Jenas joined them in their frustrations.: “It’s ridiculous. If you’re going to do it at least have the quality to do it.But former Arsenal star Freddie Ljungberg claimed Hugo Lloris was the man to blame for Spurs failing to secure the win they needed.
Spurs old boy Marcus Edwards had a pop at goal from a long way out and the ball crept in past Lloris.. “Gomes goes into the middle of the park, it’s a long, long way out for Edwards.“He has struggled a bit lately. I hold him responsible for the first one, then doing this at the end of the game, sorry Lloris, that’s not good decision-making.”
