Tottenham Hotspur secured the signature of midfield powerhouse Tanguy Ndombele in the summer.
Tottenham fans on Twitter have been left unimpressed that Mauricio Pochettino is seemingly pinning the blame on Tanguy Ndombele for their draw against Sheffield United.
Ndombele started the encounter on Saturday, with the Spurs summer signing being forced off with an injury at the break.
At the time of his departure, the game was goalless, with Pochettino claiming that the Frenchman’s absence ‘affected’ his team during the second period, as quoted by Football London.
Spurs fans are not impressed that their manager is using such an excuse to cover up yet another lacklustre display in the Premier League.
The North London outfit did take the lead through Heung-Min Son in the second half before moments later VAR controversially ruled out a Sheffield United goal.
Chris Wilder’s men kept their heads up as they equalised through George Baldock, as they walked away with a deserved point.
Spurs fans think that Pochettino was deflecting away from Tottenham’s performance on the day, which could have easily resulted in them losing.
It was another indifferent performance from the team, with a not too dissimilar side dispatching Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League in midweek.
