Nuno Espirito Santo is NOT to blame for Tottenham's woeful recent form, claims former boss Harry Redknapp and insists his old club is 'badly missing characters and leaders' after dismal loss to Arsenal

Blaming Nuno Espirito Santo for Tottenham's recent struggles is 'unfair', insists former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp - who says the squad simply isn't good enough and lacks 'leaders and characters'.

Spurs began the season superbly - winning their first three games to rise to the summit of the table - but have since lost the next three, letting in nine goals in the process which included a dismal 3-1 defeat to bitter rivals Arsenal.

Supporters have now been calling for Nuno's head ahead of their must-win home clash against Aston Villa on Sunday, but Redknapp - who spent four highly successful years in north London between 2008 and 2012 - leapt to his defence and said it was 'too easy' to leave all the blame at his door.
