Gary Neville has agreed with Jamie Carragher after tearing into two Tottenham Hotspur players following Sunday's 4-3 home defeat to Chelsea.
Ange Postecoglou's side led 2-0 against their London rivals before their collapse to suffer a second defeat in a row. Prior to that, Spurs lost 1-0 at Bournemouth on Thursday, and their latest defeat has piled pressure on Postecoglou.
Pundits were notably vocal with their criticism of Spurs' performance while Yves Bissouma and Pape Mata Sarr gave away two penalties in the second half. "Those challenges by [Yves] Bissouma and [Pape Matar] Sarr were absolutely ridiculous," the Manchester United icon said.
"That has nothing to do with the style of play of Ange Postecoglou. They’re absolutely ridiculous decisions, those challenges… It’s just reckless and really poor defending. Yes, maybe there does need to be a little bit of game management introduced, but the rashness, the poor defending, and the poor decision-making on the pitch is bad."
Bissouma gave away a penalty for a reckless tackle on Moises Caicedo and Sarr also tackled Cole Palmer in the box. The England international made no mistake from the spot.
Besides Neville, Carragher also described their action as 'ridiculous,' stating: "Some of the things Tottenham players do is absolutely ridiculous. It’s a certain penalty. That is absolutely braindead. Who’d be a manager?”
On the incident, Jamie Redknapp added: "Caicedo when he went central just started to run the game. Bissouma had 27 seconds of madness. He’s not showing enough pace to get back in there. He dives into a ridiculous tackle. Absolutely ridiculous."
The Tottenham midfielder, Bissouma took to social media after the match to apologise. He wrote: "I’m so sad for that mistake it’s burning me because we lost the game today from this mistake.
"I feel sorry for my teammates staff and fans I take all the responsibility for that one I’ll learn from this one it’s time now to show the real me. Thanks for all the support."
