Jose Mourinho delivered a withering critique of his midfielder Tanguy Ndombele following Tottenham's 1-1 draw at Burnley on Saturday night.
In keeping with the general feeling of anger and frustration at Spurs right now, Mourinho had no hesitation in publicly calling out the club-record £53million signing.
Ndombele and his midfield partner Oliver Skipp were both hooked at half-time at Turf Moor with Spurs trailing 1-0 and playing dreadfully.
And while Mourinho was keen to protect 19-year-old Skipp in his post-match comments, he ripped into Ndombele for his anonymous performance.
