Tottenham players are 'too comfortable', claims ex-manager Tim Sherwood as Antonio Conte faces the sack following astonishing attack on his players and employers

Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood says the club should sack Antonio Conte despite sharing the Italian's frustrations.

Chairman Daniel Levy is ready to sack Conte during the international break following his astonishing attack on his players after Spurs gave up a 3-1 lead to draw 3-3 with Southampton last Saturday.

The Italian laid into his players during a series of explosive post-match interviews in which he questioned their desire and attitude.

Sherwood, who managed Spurs during the 2013/14 season, told talkSPORT that he understood why Conte had voiced his anger.
