Rio Ferdinand has said on his YouTube channel that Tottenham Hotspur fans are fed up with Emerson Royal.
The former Manchester United defender made the comments following Tottenham’s defeat to Liverpool at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.
Antonio Conte’s Spurs went down 2-1 to the Reds at home.
Rio Ferdinand on Tottenham Hotspur’s Emerson Royal
Ferdinand said: “You looked to the right-back, Royal. His confidence has been zapped. Fans are on him.”
Improvement needed
In our view, Emerson Royal needs to do better and improve his game, and we think that the Tottenham Hotspur right-back will do so.
The former Barcelona player is only 23, so there is still time for him to improve and get better.
We must not forget that until he moved to Tottenham from Barcelona, the Brazil international was playing as a right-back.
Under Antonio Conte at Tottenham, the £25.8 million (BBC Sport) Emerson has been playing as a right wing-back.
Now, of course, it is important that the 23-year-old tries to do his best to learn the new position quickly, and he is trying.
It will happen.
Tottenham fans should stay positive.
Spurs are aiming to be successful in the Premier League and in the UEFA Champions League this season, and Emerson will play his roe.
