Ex-Manchester United defender Gary Neville thinks some former Tottenham players need “perspective” on the club’s current position.
Spurs parted company with Antonio Conte during the international break and appointed Cristian Stellini as interim manager until the end of the season.
The north Londoners took the decision to agree Conte’s departure after the Italian called his players “selfish” and had a pop at the Tottenham hierarchy for the culture at the club.
But, despite Stellini taking charge, Spurs delivered another disappointing performance on Monday as a Michael Keane screamer rescued Everton a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park after Harry Kane had given Tottenham the lead from the penalty spot.
Jamie O’Hara and Jermaine Jenas were among the former Spurs players to voice their frustation after the match but Neville called on them to have some more “perspective”.

“They are finished, they’ve got no character, they’re washed as a team. The quicker we get rid of all these bang average players and staff members and team the better Spurs are going to be. That sums up Spurs in a nutshell – what an earth are we doing? I’m sick of being a Spurs fan. I’m sick of it.”
Speaking of Tottenham’s performance, Neville added: “They were okay. Okay – nothing spectacular. They’ve been a bit dour to watch for quite a long time, the spark isn’t there with Son, with Kulusevski and Kane as we’ve seen in previous seasons. Something’s missing – the quality through midfield.
“To be fair to Hojbjerg and Skipp, they’re workmanlike, they do a good job but they don’t deliver good…
