‘No way’ Tottenham secure top four as Spurs atmosphere likened to ‘kids party’ vs Aston Villa

Tottenham haven’t got the quality at the top end of the pitch to finish in the Premier League’s top four this season, according to former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor.

After bringing Thomas Frank to the club from Brentford in the summer, Spurs backed their man with eight signings in the transfer window.

Tottenham Moved into the top four before the international break but their 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday saw them Dropped to sixth in the Premier League table.

Neither Spurs nor Aston Villa looked particularly impressive in the fixture in north London and Agbonlahor believes Tottenham’s lack of a top striker will cost them their bid to finish inside the top four.

When asked if Tottenham will finish in the top four this season, Agbonlahor said: Talk port: “No way! Not after that performance, not after Bournemouth’s performance at home, not against Wolves, poor guy.

“(Xavi) Simmons, for me, 55 million, five Premier League games, zero goals and one assist. (Mathes) Talley, six Premier League games, one goal and zero assists.

“They really miss a striker in that box who can attack crosses.

So I think they’re missing (Dominic) Solinek, they’re missing (James) Maddison and they’re missing (Djan) Klosewski. But looking at this season, especially in the Premier League, and seeing them alive, there is no chance of a top four. “

Agbonlahor said: “That was the song that the Spurs players came out at half-time. I mean, the atmosphere was so poor and quiet. No wonder when songs like that come out, it’s a children’s party, cake and balloons. Everyone was sitting there.

“It was a strange atmosphere. I mean, I went to Manchester City games at the Etihad (which has been). But it was quiet, mate. It was the fact that the players kept throwing their arms at the fans whenever they did something to get something from them, but nothing was coming.”
