O'Hara Criticises Tottenham Strikers After Leeds Defeat

Jamie O'Hara heavily criticised Tottenham Hotspur forwards Omar Marmoush and Dominic Solanke after the club's 1-0 Premier League loss at Leeds United on Saturday, speaking on talkSPORT's GameDay Phone-In, as reported by Football365. Marmoush, a summer arrival from Manchester City on an initial loan set to become a permanent £50million move with a further £10m in add-ons, has scored once in seven appearances for Spurs. Solanke has two goals in eight appearances.

Marmoush was replaced by Dejan Kulusevski in the 65th minute, while Solanke came on for the injured Mathys Tel just before half-time. O'Hara said Solanke was "non-existent" and described Marmoush as "fraud levels right now," adding: "Did we sign his twin brother? I don't know who this geezer is because he is absolutely garbage." He also said Spurs players are hesitating to put balls into the box because the strikers aren't going to score.

Head coach De Zerbi was critical of the second-half display, saying his side won no duels or one-to-ones and lacked personality and courage. He said he was surprised by the second half given the players had worked well in training all week.

Tottenham are set to submit a complaint to ProRef over Jayden Bogle's challenge on Tel, which went unpunished despite a four-minute VAR check and left the winger with an Achilles injury. De Zerbi said it was a "bad injury" and that medical checks would determine the problem.
