Graham Roberts goes berserk at Tottenham staff after ‘pathetic’ Liverpool moment
Graham Roberts went mental as Tottenham succumbed to a 5-1 defeat against Liverpool on Sunday.
Tottenham were at the receiving end of a mauling from Liverpool, as they clinched the Premier League title at Anfield on 27 April.
Spurs started the game on the right note, taking the lead through Dominic Solanke, only for Luis Diaz to nullify it four minutes later.
The North London giants were mere spectators from then on, with goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah and an own goal from Destiny Udogie sealing the game for the Reds.
Roberts cannot believe what Udogie did before own goal
Roberts was left unfuriated by Tottenham’s performance as he took to social media to make his feelings apparent.
The Spurs legend was particularly baffled by how Udogie easily allowed Salah to switch to his left foot before finding the bottom-right corner to score Liverpool’s fourth.
He described the moment as ‘pathetic’, wasting no time in hitting out at the Tottenham coaches.
Roberts raised questions over why the left-back did not have the awareness to keep Salah away from his strong foot.
“I’m watching the game, who the heck is coaching our defenders?”, Roberts wrote on his personal X handle (27 April) before deleting the post.
“Mo Salah is left-footed, and Udogie shows him inside to shoot on his left foot. Our coaches should do their homework, pathetic!”

Roberts also deleted another post about how he could not believe Spurs players were giving up too easily.
Ange Postecoglou in trouble at Tottenham
Postecoglou’s second season in charge of Tottenham has been nothing short of a nightmare.
Spurs still have a great opportunity to win a trophy, having qualified for the UEFA Europa League semi-finals, but their performances in the Premier League have been horrendous.
Only the three relegated teams have lost more games than Postecoglou’s side this season, which is a terrible record for any Tottenham manager.
It will be a surprise if the Greek-Australian tactician is still in charge of Spurs next season.
One can only wonder how long it would take to repair the damages caused this term.
