Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou has been encouraged by Jamie O’Hara to “get rid” of a player after the player’s performance in the North London Derby.
Although Spurs lost 3-2 on Sunday, it might have been much worse.
Arsenal was behind 3-0 at the half, and the score could have been much more embarrassing if the team had actually gone for the kill rather than committing careless mistakes.
Though Tottenham should be commended for their efforts in the second half, Michael Arteta’s team would have undoubtedly given up another goal if it had been the old Arsenal.
But Tottenham’s errors in the early half killed the game, since the Gunners are currently among the top teams in Europe.
As you may imagine, O’Hara was extremely unhappy with the outcome.

Ben Davies or Emerson Royal might have started at left back for Spurs, but Ange Postecoglou went with the Welshman.
Many individuals warned Davies beforehand about the potential problems that Bukayo Saka may cause, and they were all right.
Everyone will agree that even though the Arsenal player scored a fantastic goal to extend his team’s lead in the first half, he still had plenty of room for improvement.
Jamie O’Hara, a commentator and supporter of Tottenham, was incensed over the goal and the manner Davies defended.
Although he has stated that everyone, including Davies, was aware of Saka’s plan as he entered the area, his error allowed the Englishman to easily locate the bottom corner.
- “We go 2-0 down, Ben Davies, shouldn’t be playing left-back but has to play left-back, he’s not good enough,” O’Hara stated on talkSPORT last night. We must get rid of it.
“Show Saka to his right and away from the objective. You let him in and he simply placed one in the lower corner. You are aware of his next move. He will undoubtedly do it, you know.
