“SPURS’ £60M FLOPSAURUS REX IS NOW OFFICIALLY THE BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT IN CLUB HISTORY – YES, EVEN WORSE THAN SERGE AURIER’S INFAMOUS OWN-GOAL MELTDOWNS!” “From ‘Next Big Thing’ to Total Laughing Stock – Fans Are Begging Daniel Levy to Pay Someone to Take Him Away… You Won’t Believe How Bad It’s Gotten!”
Tottenham Hotspur’s season began brightly with impressive wins over Burnley and Manchester City, but things have deteriorated sharply for Thomas Frank’s side.
Spurs now sit 16th in their Champions League group and have slipped to 11th in the Premier League following a dismal defeat to Fulham, a performance that left Frank looking short on ideas and his team completely disorganised.
Several players struggled badly, raising concerns that one key starter is in danger of becoming Spurs’ new Serge Aurier.
Aside from small positives from Micky van de Ven’s crucial tackle and Randal Kolo Muani’s lively contribution, the rest of the starting XI delivered disappointing displays.
Guglielmo Vicario received the most criticism, particularly for his role in Fulham’s second goal.
The goalkeeper rushed out to intercept a long ball, only to mis-kick it straight into danger and leave his goal exposed, allowing Harry Wilson to score from distance.
His error, and the fact Spurs were 2-0 down inside six minutes, saw sections of the home support boo him throughout.
Richarlison also endured a dreadful night. Across an anonymous 60-minute appearance, he posed no attacking threat, producing an xG of 0.00, losing possession nine times from just 21 touches and completing only six passes.
Kevin Danso fared little better, repeatedly losing out to Raul Jimenez and inadvertently helping create Fulham’s opener with a poor headed clearance.
However, Pedro Porro’s performance drew the most alarming parallels with Aurier.
While talented, the Spaniard has become increasingly erratic at both ends of the pitch.
Against Fulham, he lost all of his aerial duels, surrendered most of his ground battles, was dribbled past repeatedly, failed to complete any of his dribbles, and produced just three accurate crosses from 16 attempts.
His long-ball accuracy was poor too, resulting in a deserved 4/10 rating and the description of a “nervous wreck” defensively.
To make matters worse, Porro’s frustration boiled over at full-time when he threw his shirt to the ground and stormed off, behaviour labelled “an absolute embarrassment.”
While he remains a gifted player capable of recovery, his form has been troubling for some time, and this latest display has intensified fears that he may be slipping into Aurier-like inconsistency and rashness.
