Jose Mourinho has been criticised by former Tottenham star Jermaine Jenas for his negative comments this season.
Spurs have had a rough few weeks, having been knocked out of the FA Cup and Champions League.
And Mourinho's complaints about injuries and squad depth has annoyed Jenas.
"It's not a rant but what I will say is I will reserve judgement on Jose until the summer, until he brings in his new players because I think the players haven't been good enough," Jenas said.
"What I don't like about Jose at the minute is the negativity. I think he's been far too negative in terms of the message he's been sending out with the players.
"I know we've got injuries to [Harry] Kane, I know Son [Heung-min] is injured and now [Steven] Bergwijn.
"But I think there needs to be a more positive structure going out to the players. And overall I still can't see what the team are and how they're trying to play.
"Are they a passing team? Are they a pressing team? Are they a team that plays deep and tries to counter-attack?"
