Tottenham Hotspur drew 1-1 with Everton yesterday, with Tanguy Ndombele recalled to their starting line-up.

Jamie Carragher has told Sky Sports, during their live coverage of Tottenham Hotspur’s match against Everton, that he thought Tanguy Ndombele’s display was ‘strange’.

Ndombele was taken out of Tottenham’s line-up for their match against Liverpool, but the Frenchman returned at Goodison Park.

Ndombele started well in the contest, but seemed to become more wasteful in possession in the second-half.

Spurs’s record signing was ultimately taken off well before full-time by Mauricio Pochettino, as Tottenham played out a 1-1 draw on Merseyside.

And Carragher admits that he thought that Ndombele’s performance was an odd one.

“He’s had a very strange performance today, Ndombele,” Carragher said.

“He’s played some strange passes second half and given Everton a chance to counter attack two or three times.”

Ndombele was actually taken off the pitch at a time when Tottenham were leading, but Pochettino’s side were unable to hold on.

Spurs conceded a late goal to Cenk Tosun, as they failed to claim what could have been a vital three points.

Tottenham are already 10 points behind the top four now, as they have struggled to live up to expectations so far this term.
