Shock diagnosis! Is that Son Heung-min's replacement? No way Matisse Tell jogs at Fulham, commentator lashes out
"Look at him running. It can't happen at any level."

A shocking analysis by a British football commentator from Tottenham has been made. The story is that Tottenham Hotspur players have completely lost their confidence and direction. In particular, Matistel (20), who Tottenham is trying to use as a substitute for Son Heung-min by paying a large amount of money in the January transfer market, has been at the center of criticism. He pointed out the play scene where he didn't run at full speed on the field, but ran roughly and threatened the opponent at all.

British media TBR Football reported on the 17th (Korea time) 'Commentator Troy Deeney was very angry at Matisse Tell's appearance when Tottenham lost 0-2 against Fulham'

Tottenham was completely defeated 0-2 in an away match against Fulham in the 29th round of the English Premier League (EPL) of the 2024-2025 season at 10:30 p.m. on the 16th at Craven Cottage in London, England. They drew 0-0 in the first half, but allowed back-to-back goals at the end of the second half. In the 33rd minute of the second half, Hodrigo Munis received a pass in front of the penalty area and scored the first winning goal with a right non-stop shot. In the 43rd minute of the second half, Ryan Sessegnon won a long pass from the back after a struggle with Tottenham defender Ben Davies in front of the goal area and scored a decisive goal with a powerful right-footed shot.

The defeat marked Tottenham's 15th loss of the season (10 wins and 4 draws). This is the most loss in a season since the 2008-2009 season. The ranking also dropped from 13th to 14th. Manchester United (37 points), which won in the 29th round, came in 13th place by three points.

It was a game in which coach Enze Postecoglou's strategy completely failed. Coach Postecoglou started the rotation in the 29th round of the league three days after winning the second round of the UEFA Europa League round of 16 against AZ Alkmaar on the 14th. Son Heung-min and James Maddison, and Wilson O'Dowbert, who scored the winning goal against Alkmaar, were excluded from the starting lineup. Matistel, Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson came forward as attackers.




However, Tottenham showed a very lethargic attack in the first half and failed to score in the second half after drawing 0-0. At the start of the second half, Son Heung-min was put in and created several good chances in the beginning, but failed to hunt for goals. Rather, at the end of the game, the defense collapsed and allowed two goals.

After the match, local commentators fiercely criticized Tottenham's lethargic and insecure play. In particular, Troy Deeney from Birmingham was disappointed by Matisse Tell's performance against Fulham. He pointed out Tell's appearance in the play video, saying it came out that he could not come out of a game at any level.ㅓNdini presented a scene in which Tel did not run at full speed even though it was right after the start of the game.

He said "Look at this. It's only been two minutes since the game started. Look at the difference between the Fulham players when you're running."That's the scene. Bentancourt is outpacing Tel. This cannot happen at any level."




Deeney's criticism was not limited to Tel. Most of Tottenham's players criticized the loss of confidence and direction during the game. In fact, there were six defenders in the box at the time of the first run, and there were only two Fulham players, but they couldn't stop the goal. The players seemed to have lost their roles in a flurry. Deeney predicted that if this is the case, he could struggle quite a bit in the quarterfinals of the Europa League against Einracht Frankfurt after the A-match break.
