Tottenham humiliate rematch against Chelsea in fourth division performance 97.7 billion stars worst! Commentators' Criticism X Criticism Relay

Nov 04, 2025

"Losing against Chelsea, Tottenham's performance is as good as the fourth division (League 2)."

Football commentator Jamie Carragher left the worst of the bad comments for Tottenham, who suffered a crushing 0-1 defeat to Chelsea at the weekend.

Tottenham lost 0-1 to Chelsea in the 10th round of the English Premier League at home on the 2nd after a lethargic game. Continuing his disgraceful record of never winning over London rivals Chelsea since February 2023. Enzo Maresca's Chelsea won the match by one goal with Pedro's winning goal, but dominated the game overwhelmingly. Tottenham recorded 0.10, the lowest xG (expected score) indicator since the start of the 2012-2013 season record.

Jamie Redknapp, Carrieger's Sky Sports commentator, called the game one of Tottenham's all-time 'worst performances'. Coach Thomas Frank also did not try to glorify his defeat, acknowledging that he felt 'disappointed'. Regarding Frank's decision to replace his predecessor Angie Postecoglou, Carragher explained why the performance could be a worrying sign for Tottenham's leadership. Carragher said "It's a worry. "I watched (Frank's) press conference ahead of the Champions League today..." he said. "He may look at this result and think, "I don't know where this came from." He's doing well in the league. It is the league's most scoring team ahead of the weekend. But the big problem that Thomas Frank and other coaches face when they move from a small team to a big club is establishing the right football for that team." "If you look at the weekend game or the home game, it looked like a fourth-division (League 2) team against a Premier League team in the FA Cup. There was a huge difference in how the ball was handled, and this is the biggest problem for any coach moving to a big club." Carragher criticised Tottenham's lack of 'courage' football. He lacked the guts to lead the game at the possible moment and particularly lashed out at star player Xavi Simmons, who was born in 2003.

Carragher analyzed Pedro's winning goal scene, pointing out that Simmons had played just outside the box enough of a `weapon' pass for Chelsea to eat. `Simmons has been really bad all game" he criticized.

Simmons joined Tottenham in a £52 million transfer from Leipzig last summer, but has yet to show any significant presence in the Premier League.

Simmons, who was not originally on the starting list, had to endure one of the biggest humiliations he could face in football when Lucas Bergbal was rushed in after being replaced as a precaution with a head injury and then replaced in the second half.

Redknapp said after the end of the game that "If it was a boxing match, it would have been suspended. Tottenham were too bad to threaten Chelsea at all. I left my opponent too easily. Tottenham didn't have any sense of speed and didn't know how to advance the attack. It was too easy for Chelsea."

Tottenham will turn the mood around in the fourth round of the European Champions League against Copenhagen at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 5 a.m. on the 5th.
