Former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood has been on the radio this morning bemoaning the form of his old club. And in having a swipe at the way Jose Mourinho’s team are playing, he used Sheffield United as an example.
Now, Sherwood was being complimentary about the Blades and their team ethic, but he did say something that will cause quite a debate.
Sherwood said that not a single Blades player would get into Tottenham’s squad.
He told Talksport: “It’s not about individual players, we saw that when they went up to Sheffield United. Not one Sheffield United player, with respect, could get into the Tottenham squad. Jose wouldn’t be in the market to go and get any of their players. I think he’d be quite open to saying that.
“But it’s not about the individual, it’s about the collective, it’s about the team. Chris WIlder is knitting that group together and they are playing like a fantastic team with a way of playing and they are getting the job done.
“On the contrast, I’m sitting there waiting when I’m watching Tottenham for Harry Kane or Son to do something special for them to win a fotball match. It can’t be like that.”
