'The owners may disagree': Jamie Redknapp has blunt message for Tottenham after their Chelsea defeat

Tottenham’s infuriating inconsistency continued this weekend as they were beaten by Chelsea in the Premier League.

Despite leading 2-0 early on, Tottenham capitulated once Cristian Romero went off injured and allowed the Blues to score four goals to seal the game.

It means that Ange Postecoglou’s side have failed to build on their huge win at Man City a few weeks ago and sit in the bottom half of the table.

Tottenham fans are getting all too used to the let downs of supporting the club.

However, Jamie Redknapp has suggested that there’s something the club can now do to take the pressure off and bring some joy to the club.

Jamie Redknapp calls for Tottenham cup win after Chelsea defeat

Speaking on Sky Sports about the predicament for Tottenham right now, former midfielder Redknapp has said that the club simply must prioritise winning a cup ahead of the top four.

“They have to win a trophy – that’s the stick they are beaten with. If they win a trophy this year it will give them confidence and belief that they can get top four. They need to change the history of this club,” Redknapp said.

“For too long they’ve had an attitude of not being successful and letting people down. Whereas if they win a trophy it will give Ange a bit of breathing space.

“They’ve got Manchester United in the Carabao Cup, they can win that. If you look at the winners of that trophy recently it’s either been Man City, Man Utd or Liverpool. Winning that is more important than finishing top four. The owners may disagree but it would great for the fanbase and the players.”

Same old Tottenham

There’s a reason why the club get tarnished as ‘Spursy’ and there’s so much evidence of it this season alone.

For Ange Postecoglou, the frustration is obvious and with the top four now looking out of the question, Redknapp has a point about winning a cup.

Winning breeds confidence and with that, it rids the club of the negative feeling that they always seem to come up short.

We’ve seen in the past how winning the League Cup can help a team and Tottenham have to go all out to win it now.
