Alan Shearer slams Tottenham star over ‘lack of fight’ after FA Cup exit Alan Shearer has singled out Son Heung-min for criticism after Tottenham were knocked out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa.
On Sunday, a 2-1 loss at Villa Park heaped even more pressure on Ange Postecoglou whose side have also won just two and lost eight of their last 12 Premier League games, leaving them 14th in the table.
‘But you want them to step up a little bit more because out of these last two or three months I think the youngsters have shone more than anything and that’s a great credit to them but there’s a complete and utter lack of confidence and at times a lack of fight.
Son was named Spurs skipper following Hugo Lloris and Harry Kane’s departures in 2023 but the forward looks nothing like his past self, recording just six Premier League goals this season.
Spurs’ horrific season went from bad to worse last week as they exited both domestic cup competitions, starting with a 4-0 thrashing at Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final.
