Jamie Carragher criticises Tottenham's 'academy' defending in defeat by Nottingham Forest as he brands them 'naive' and hits out at Ange Postecoglou's approach

Jamie Carragher criticised Tottenham following their defeat by Nottingham Forest on Monday, claiming that Ange Postecoglou's side resemble an 'academy' team defensively.

Tottenham, who are in 16th place in the Premier League table but are safe from relegation, found themselves 2-0 down after just 16 minutes at home to Forest, with Elliot Anderson and Chris Wood scoring.

Although Richarlison got a goal back late on it was another frustrating night for Tottenham, who have suffered 18 Premier League defeats this season.

Carragher claimed that Tottenham are 'so naive' with regards to how they play defensively.
