Tottenham told they must sack ‘fraud’ Igor Tudor immediately in furious on-air meltdown by Jamie O’Hara

Tottenham are ‘a disgrace’ and Igor Tudor should be immediately sacked after their first-half collapse against Atletico Madrid.

Spurs suffered a horror evening as they found themselves 4-0 down to Atletico after just 22 minutes before losing their Champions League last 16 first leg 5-2 on Tuesday night.

Three errors led to goals in the opening stages, including two major mistakes from backup goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.

Kinsky was hooked off just 17 minutes into the game following his errors, with manager Igor Tudor pulling him out of the limelight.

Tottenham managed to get a goal back through Pedro Porro after conceding four rapidly, but the embarrassment was already done.

And ex-Spurs midfielder Jamie O’Hara, who has already had an on-air meltdown about his beloved side, reacted as expected and then some.

O’Hara joined talkSPORT’s live coverage of the Champions League clash at half time to vent his fury at the club he’s supported since he was a boy.

‘An absolute embarrassment to watch’

“I’m absolutely embarrassed to be a Spurs fan,” he told Adrian Durham. “I’m embarrassed to be affiliated with this football club. It is nothing short of a disgrace. The manager is a fraud.

“The manager needs to go, sack him at half time. It’s a disgraceful performance from the players.

“The tactics, unthinkable. To set up 3-4-3 against Atletico Madrid is embarrassing. We cannot play that formation.

“He said it’s about experimenting. You cannot experiment in the Champions League playing 3-4-3 and to pick Kinsky….

“Everyone’s saying all of a sudden they’re feeling sorry for this guy… he’s a professional football player. He’s a professional goalie. It’s his job. He can’t kick the ball.

“It’s their job to look through to wear the right footing. Put some studs on, you’re falling over the ball. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

O’Hara then continued his second on-air meltdown with a brutal takedown of the manager and the entire squad.

“I honestly cannot believe I’m sat here watching this garbage,” he raged. “[Micky] Van de Ven should’ve been sent off. He doesn’t want to be out there. They give us a sympathy vote VAR by not sending Van de Ven off.

“This could be 9-0, and to be honest, I hope we get pumped because this manager has got to go and the only saving grace out of anything is that we get pumped tonight.

“The Tottenham board might do something for once and actually sack this guy because he is absolutely shocking. I could do a better job at managing this football club.

“They can’t even pass a ball. They cannot string two passes together. This club is absolutely gone. The players are absolutely gone.

“They don’t want to be there. They don’t want to play. for this manager. It is nothing short of a disaster. We are going down.

“This club is finished right now, and this is an absolute embarrassment to even watch.”

After the break, Julian Alvarez scored his second of the night to put Atleti 5-1 up before Dominic Solanke pulled a goal back for the visitors later in the second half, but the damage was done.

O’Hara’s rage continues

Unfortunately for O’Hara, after Tottenham were beaten 5-2, he had to host The Sports Bar alongside Jason Cundy again.

And he continued his rant, saying: “What has happened to this club? I can’t watch this anymore!

“I can’t believe how bad we are…this manager is a fraud, he’s the biggest fraud I’ve ever seen, who appointed this guy?”

O’Hara added: “It’s a disgrace, the way this club is set up and run.

“He’s got to go, he’s got to get sacked tonight…I want it, if he’s not sacked, I won’t watch Spurs again, the team he picked, it’s an absolute joke.

“You’ve got Kinsky in goal…my nan could tell you that he’s not good enough to play in the Champions League in goal.”

Tudor on the brink

O’Hara may get his wish soon, as talkSPORT understands that Tottenham are considering sacking Igor Tudor before the weekend.

The Croatian manager has lost all four of his managers as interim manager and conceded 14 goals.

talkSPORT reported last week that Tudor will continue as Spurs boss for the immediate future.

However, after their heavy defeat to Atletico on Tuesday, they may soon have a very different stance.

Members of the Lewis family are understood to have been left disillusioned by the impact of Tudor so far.

They are now expected to speak with the players to determine whether to make a change in the dugout.
