Tottenham were beaten once again, this time by Chelsea, as their fight for survival goes to the final day of the Premier League season.
Roberto De Zerbi’s team stuttered at Stamford Bridge as they wasted a golden opportunity to save their skin and relegate London rivals, West Ham.
😒Another really drab performance at Stamford Bridge but who was the worst player on display for Tottenham?
Tottenham’s miserable record at Chelsea continues, and now De Zerbi knows his team will have to claim at least a point against Everton on home soil at the weekend.
Paul Robinson was watching the game for the media, and he slammed one Tottenham star after this latest performance.
Paul Robinson slams Mathys Tel
In this contest, Tel was looking to pick up where he left off last week against Leeds when he scored an absolute cracker to open the scoring.
However, he was unable to replicate that level of performance, and in fairness, he was one of the team’s worst players during this 2-1 defeat.
Robinson wasn’t impressed and namechecked him when it came to analysing the game.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: “They didn’t deserve anything tonight, Tottenham. The way that they played in the first half, they huffed and puffed in the second.
“The last passage of play there sums it up. Mathys Tel was so poor. He had two opportunities at the far post in stoppage time. That was a wonderful opportunity to play the ball into a box full of yellow jerseys. It ended up with the goalkeeper.
“Too many bad choices, too many wrong decisions.”
Now, De Zerbi is going to have to pick the right time this weekend in order to ensure Tottenham remain in the Premier League.
😡Another poor result at Chelsea and our Premier League status will be decided on the final day!
Tell us what Roberto De Zerbi got wrong tonight and what he has to change for Sunday's game with Everton!
James Maddison didn’t start again against Chelsea, but after getting more minutes, he must be edging closer to a starting berth.
With three months off after Sunday, there is definitely an argument to start Maddison, and this performance from Tel will offer food for thought.
Tel is all too inconsistent for Tottenham’s liking, and the pressure is on for him to perform in the final day showdown with Everton on Sunday, if he keeps his place in the team.
