British media talkSPORT radio reported that The Premier League celebrity and Tottenham hottest veteran O'Hara was furious at his old club 2-3 by Southampton. O'Hara criticised Spurs' defence as shameful and criticized Emerson and Alexis Sanchez by name, arguing that Spurs had spent $70 million to buy them in vain. O'Hara believes that Only Kane and Son Heung-min are top players for Spurs, and Kane plays as a centre-back better than the current backline.

In this tottenham loss to Southampton, Tottenham's backline was speechless except for Romero playing normally, while Ben Davis, Sanchez and Emerson played. Sanchez and Emerson, in particular, not only do defenses often leak out, but they also often make mistakes when passing. Tottenham's midfielder Winks has also made repeated mistakes in this game.
After seeing Tottenham conceding second and third goals in a row in a misstep way, O'Hara, who was judging the ball on talkSPORT, was furious. O'Hara said: "Tottenham's backline is so shocking, honestly Sanchez spent more than 40 million, Emerson 30 million, why buy them at such a high price? I don't know what happened to Thettenham Back, but in terms of performance, it's a shame. Like when a centre-back is defending, how do you just stare at the ball and not at people? You keep staring at the ball, and the other person slips away from you. ”
O'Hara said: "The most basic defensive problem, and then Tottenham Hotspur scored two goals in the same way in just a few minutes. When setting the ball and defensive crosses, there is a simple truth, that is, you must make sure that your target can not see your jersey number, if the opponent sees, you are in trouble. ”
At the same time, O'Hara also defended Conte, arguing that although Conte is a defensive master, there is no better top player at Tottenham. "Conte's previous teams have always had top players and he's very good at turning these guys into better defenders. But at Tottenham, there are no other top players except Son Heung-min and Kane. Honestly, Kane would be better off playing centre-back than he is now. ”
