The former Liverpool and Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp was on punditry duty last night and says that Jose Mourinho has treated Gareth Bale and Dele Alli badly. Spurs went down 3-0 to Manchester City in Manchester yesterday evening and Spurs were poor in a lot of ways and look a long way off getting into the all important and precious top four spot and Champions League football.
“It’s a team that is lacking confidence, but he has to accept responsibility for that,” the 47-year-old told Sky Sports.
“He brings in Dele Alli and Gareth Bale and he wants them to bail him out.
“He’s been treating them badly, they’ve not been in the team and now you’re asking them to make a difference for you? That’s not how modern football works.
“You need to keep players onside and Jose is making a habit right now of upsetting too many people that he needs as allies, not enemies.”
