Well, suffice to say Jamie O’Hara didn’t agree with one decision by Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte this afternoon.

The Spurs manager took off Richarlison for midfielder Yves Bissouma on 69 minutes of their visit of Leeds United to North London.

At the time, it was 2-2 and Tottenham, being the home side, are under much more pressure than the Whites to get all three points.

So subbing an attacking player for a defence-minded midfielder has puzzled O’Hara.

Here’s what he posted on Twitter:

The decision looked even worse because seven minutes later, Rodrigo completed his brace to fire Jesse Marsch’s side into a 3-2 lead away to the Lilywhites.

However, Rodrigo Bentancur maintained his excellent goalscoring form by equalising yet again for Tottenham with nine mintues of ordinary time remaining – the third time that the hosts had to come from behind.

Shortly after that, the Uruguay international completed the comeback for the hosts to make it 4-3 and you have to say, it was a masterstroke by Conte.

Perhaps Bissouma’s presence in midfield allowed the South American license to get forward a little more and, well, the proof is in the pudding in that regard.
