“Absolutely spineless and played Below the Level of Championship” Tottenham fans BRUTALLY angry and rant for immediate sack of Overpayed TRIO that singlehandedly gifted Nottingham Forest a GOAL as a result of silly mistake…. The defeat is on them

Driven on by a passionate crowd desperate to see their team secure a crucial win in a relegation six-pointer against Nottingham Forest, Tottenham Hotspur delivered what can only be described as one of the worst performances in the club’s history, falling to a humiliating 3-0 defeat against a far less expensive squad. The reality facing Spurs is becoming increasingly alarming—and they have no one to blame but themselves.

Three players, in particular, endured such dismal outings that their performances raised serious doubts about whether they could even cope at EFL Championship level right now.

At the back, Micky van de Ven struggled badly. Talk of him being linked with elite clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid feels far-fetched given displays like this—especially when compared to defensive greats such as Carles Puyol and Sergio Ramos. Van de Ven failed to rise to the occasion, looking shaky and unreliable throughout. His struggles were so evident that he was substituted at half-time in a game of such importance, underlining just how poor his performance was—even a switch to left-back couldn’t salvage it.

Up front, Richarlison also disappointed. While several Spurs players underperformed, the Brazilian forward stood out for the wrong reasons despite his reputation. For all the talk of him being a key figure in relegation battles, he has yet to truly deliver when it matters most. Although his finishing hasn’t been terrible this season, his overall play was lacking—too often sloppy in possession and offering little in terms of creativity for teammates.

Even more concerning was the display from Dominic Solanke. Despite Richarlison’s struggles, Solanke’s performance was arguably worse. He appeared largely ineffective, failing to influence the game or show urgency in a must-win situation. For a player who commanded a significant transfer fee, his lack of impact was glaring. He struggled to get involved, showed minimal pressing effort, and left fans frustrated with what looked like a lack of intensity on such a crucial occasion.
