Tottenham Hotspur’s defensive problem reared its ugly head once again on Saturday.
Tottenham supporters on Twitter slated Jan Vertonghen’s performance during their 2-2 draw against Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday evening.
Jose Mourinho once again opted to start the senior Tottenham man at the back, but at half-time, with the away side losing 1-0, the Belgian was replaced.
There were a number of controversial decisions during the game, with VAR ruling out Teemu Puki’s first-half strike for offside, with the Norwich fans clearly incensed with the decision.
Whilst Chrisitan Eriksen netted a brilliant free-kick straight after the restart and Harry Kane’s late penalty rescued a point for his team, Spurs, from a defensive standpoint, were poor throughout.
Vertonghen was one of the players heavily criticised by fans, as some were questioning whether he has a future at the North London club.
His contract is due to expire at the end of the season, and given that Mourinho is not starting him at centre-back and he is struggling at left-back, it remains to be seen whether the Spurs fan favourite will win over his manager.
Danny Rose and Ben Davies are Tottenham’s regular left-backs, so when they return, Vertonghen will be hoping he can return next to Toby Alderweireld and hopefully improve Tottenham’s defence.
