Jamie Redknapp says three Spurs players were seriously let down by their teammates v Liverpool
Tottenham Hotspur have a lot of soul-searching to do after exiting the League Cup following their shock 4-0 defeat at Liverpool on Thursday night.
🍌Spurs went into the game holding a 1-0 lead after a great performance in the first leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
♏But rather than build on it, Tottenham were second best throughout as Liverpool made light work of them at Anfield.
🌊Cody Gakpo opened the scoring in the 34th minute of a first half that was virtually all one-way traffic.
ꩵMohamed Salah then scored a penalty early on in the second half to turn the tie around before Dominik Szoboszlai and Virgil van Dijk ended it as a contest.
༺Jamie Redknapp pulled no punches as he criticised Tottenham🍒 after the game, deeming the scoreline “horrendous” and slating their lack of fight.
🐠The former Spurs and Liverpool midfielder also named three Tottenham players he felt sorry for as they weren’t helped out by their teammates.

Jamie Redknapp felt sorry for Djed Spence, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall
The three players Jamie Redknapp mentioned were Djed Spence, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall🧸, as he claimed “you’re meant to protect” the younger players.
🔜Redknapp was stunned by how Spence played “14 different positions”, while Gray and Bergvall didn’t have the right leadership around them.
🃏“I feel sorry for those players,” Redknapp said on Sky Sports. “I think Djed Spence played 14 different positions tonight. I’ve never seen anything like it.
𒈔“You have young players, you’re meant to protect them. Archie Gray and Bergvall, they’re young men and trying their best.
𓄧“But I’m looking at the experienced players today to lead and try and set the tempo. They didn’t do that one bit.”
What other former Spurs players said after the game
🌃Former Tottenham defender Michael Dawson said on Sky Sports: “It was really, really damaging that performance.
🎃“I knew it was going to be a tough task but did I expect it to be like that? I thought there would be more of a fight from the players.
﷽“It was always going to be backs against the wall but they didn’t show any character in possession, out of possession and they didn’t show any desire to keep the ball out of the back of the net.
🐻“To come here and get beat 4-0 without any fight and without a shot on target, it’s a damaging performance.”
𒁏Stephen Kelly, another former Spurs player, said on BBC Radio 5 Live: “It looked like men against boys.”
