Oliver Skipp admits it was 'hard to see' Tottenham team-mate Davinson Sanchez being booed by his own fans in the side's defeat against Bournemouth... but expects the defender to stay 'positive' ahead of Spurs' crunch clash with Newcastle

Oliver Skipp understands the frustration. Of course he does, he’s a Tottenham fan. He comes from a long line of Tottenham fans.

He’s seen the struggles and the squandered hopes. He receives the same disgruntled WhatsApp messages from his mates that he always has. Only now he’s on the pitch and not in the stands.

He understands the booing, too. Supporters have a right to express their opinion, and if that means booing the team then so be it. What he doesn’t get is when the frustration turns on individuals.

Davinson Sanchez was booed every time he touched the ball against Bournemouth after his error handed the Cherries their second goal.
