Unlike their north London rivals, tottenham hotspur Entering the fourth round FA Cupbut not without huge fears along the way.

After beating Liverpool in the Carabao Cup a few days ago, Tottenham traveled to Tamworth where they faced non-league opponents.

They weren’t expecting an easy ride on artificial surfaces so far from home, but it should be a lot easier than it actually is.

The score was 0-0 at halftime and still 0-0 at the end of 90 minutes. Tottenham and Tamworth both had chances but it took more than 100 minutes to finally break through.

This was due to an own goal. Angie PostkogluThe team ended up winning 3-0 after overtime, but even so, the visitors felt flattered.

Tottenham’s biggest underwhelming performance against Tamworth

It’s safe to say that this won’t be a day long remembered by Spurs players. They didn’t do themselves justice at all.

While the defense kept a clean sheet, the forward line endured a hot afternoon in the office until extra time.

Mickey Moore might be forgiven because it was his first game since a long illness, and Brennan Johnson at least scored in overtime.

German Timo WernerHe has been on the receiving end of verbal attacks from his manager this season and has clearly been his worst player all season. Premier League Fang’s team.

The winger has not scored since scoring in a 2-1 win over Manchester City on October 30. Now it’s a series 14 consecutive games without scoring a goal.

So a game against fifth-tier side Tamworth should have been the perfect opportunity to rediscover his form, but he didn’t.

Werner also had a chance but his header was clearer but was also blocked by Lambs goalkeeper Jas Singh.

In the end, however, the former Chelsea striker’s attack proved fruitless and he delivered dismal results. 3/10 match rating from Jack McEachen of Express who noted that it was a “very mediocre display.”

Pedro Polo’s stats

The Spaniard’s performance against Tamworth is likely to divide opinion.

That’s because, despite some bad elements to his game, he actually played a key role in Spurs turning the game around late on.

In the opener of overtime, it was the full-back’s clever thinking that quickly took the free kick, forcing the team to score an own goal.

That being said, his overall performance was sloppy, and in the words of the aforementioned McEachen, who also graded him 3/10, Porro “didn’t perform well on the ball and against Tamworth’s biggest outfield threat, Baker Ray. ·Enolu”.

That’s no disrespect to the Tamworth side, of course, but it’s made even worse by the fact that Enoru is a semi-professional footballer who also works in retail.

And the left winger Only completed 3 passes in the entire gamewho did attempt seven dribbles to sum up a tricky afternoon for Boro.

Speaking of statistics, the Tottenham Hotspur full-back’s performance has been worrying in some respects. Although he won 13 of 17 duels, he could only complete two key passes, accounting for 68% of the total passes.

A staggering 45 times the 25-year-old conceded the ball. The game lasted 120 minutes, but that was 27.5 times more than his average of 17.5 times per game in the Premier League this season.

While the Spain international is unlikely to leave in January this year, it wouldn’t be surprising if Spurs sanction his departure in the summer.

This isn’t the first time the defender has struggled at the back this season and bringing in a more consistent right-back would be a smart idea if Postkoglu wants to improve the club’s poor defensive record.

Polo is passionate about moving forward, similar to Trent Alexander Arnold in this respect, but Manchester City reportedly interested in the defender In the recent window, if a lucrative offer appears, it makes sense to cash out.
