Nuno Espirito Santo appeared to take a swipe at his players following their crushing loss to Arsenal despite trying to shoulder the blame for his team’s weak defeat.
The Spurs boss claimed he picked the wrong starting XI in Sunday’s North London Derby after watching his side lurch further towards crisis point courtesy of a 3-1 loss - the club’s third successive Premier League defeat.
Nuno, who substituted off Dele Alli and Japhet Tanganga at half-time, was at pains not to openly criticise his players after - but did suggest he would direct some home truths to his under-performing stars following this painful loss.
