'I blame the manager': Man United and Tottenham branded clowns in ferocious talkSPORT rant

Gabby Agbonlahor has called Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur “two clowns” following their seven-goal thriller.

The only player who escaped the former Aston Villa captain's tirade was Fraser Forsterdespite the goalkeeper's error-ridden performance.

Fortunately they were not costly mistakes from number 2 with Tottenham Hotspurwhich at one point led 3-0, held on to win 4-3 and advance to the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

Ange Postecoglou's team will face Liverpool Their goal is to end their 16-year trophy drought, but they failed to do so without causing another late scare for their fans.

The Spurs made a move and were apparently safe when two goals from Dominic Solanke and a neat ending Dejan Kulusevski gave the hosts a huge lead, the dominant performance they deserved after 54 minutes.

But Forster's first error came nine minutes later, when his weak back pass was intercepted by Bruno Fernandezwho helped Joshua Zirkzee to touch.

Seven minutes later, the 36-year-old goalkeeper committed the foul again, this time being chased by Amad Diallo, who deflected Forster's attempted pass into his own goal.

Captain Son Heung-min He then restored a two-goal lead with a stunning direct shot from a corner, but Spurs conceded again when Jonny Evans scored in added time.

Tottenham fans would have been forgiven for thinking “here we go again” after blowing a two-goal lead to lose 4-3 to Chelsea just a few weeks ago, but they managed to close out the rest of the game to seal their progress. in the cup

However, speaking on talkSPORT Breakfast the morning after the vibrant clash, Agbonlahor He said: “They were like two groups of clowns playing with each other. The defense… The Spurs were very good in attack.

“manchester united I woke up a little in the second half thanks to some errors from Forster, but the defense, wow.

“I hit the Southampton defense, but wow. I don't blame Forster at all, I blame the manager and the rest of the players.”

He continued: “Forster, how long have you been here? He is 37 years old. He has always been a goalkeeper, he has never been a goalkeeper who plays with his feet.

“I played with so many goalkeepers that if they played now they would be exactly like Forster. “They don't want it.”

Postecoglou has been criticized recently, especially for his performances in the Premier League, as he currently sits in 10th place.

The fans booed the Australian after the 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth earlier this month.

After that defeat he promised to fight until the club's situation improved, something he would achieve with a trophy.

A Carabao Cup victory may be the route to calming early Spurs fans desperate to add silverware to their cabinet.

“Obviously we made it harder than it should have been: we were in control and we played very well,” Postecoglou told Sky Sports.

“The first mistake affected Fraze (Fraser Forster) and then the second one came as a result of that and we had to fight a little bit, but we showed some character in the end and got a fourth and moved on to the semi-finals.”

On the other side of the draw, Arsenal face Newcastle.

The semi-finals will be played over two legs during the week beginning January 6 and the week beginning February 3.
