The Tottenham Hotspur centre-back was questionable on Sunday.
Jermaine Jenas has questioned Tottenham Hotspur’s Davinson Sanchez following Sunday’s shock defeat at home to Newcastle United.
Spurs were heavily expected to steamroll a Magpies side that had lost their first two Premier League games under Steve Bruce.
But summer signing Joelinton fired United to an unlikely 1-0 win in North London.
The Brazilian striker’s winner owed much to the Tottenham centre-back switching off, allowing the Newcastle hitman to capitalise.
And Jenas, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, is baffled by the Colombian’s defending.
“I don’t know what is going through Davinson Sanchez’s head here, at no point does he open his body.
“I don’t understand what he is looking at. He doesn’t see where the danger is, it is right behind him. It is ridiculous really, it is shocking defending from Spurs’ point of view.”
Sanchez is of course a very fine defender, and he’s proven it over the past two years, but Sunday was one to forget.
Still, he’s only 23. Mistakes are bound to happen every now and again. The key thing is that he learns from them.
