Spurs legend Hoddle: Son and Romero not good enough against AC Milan

Former England manager Glenn Hoddle has singled out two Tottenham players for criticism after they lost in the Champions League.

Spurs were knocked out of the competition by AC Milan on Wednesday, drawing 0-0 at home after having lost 1-0 away at the San Siro.

Cristian Romero got himself sent off late in the game, while Hoddle also took aim at Son Heung-min.

Hoddle said on BT Sport: "Romero's got to be looked at. We say it every week, he could be a wonderful defender but time and time again he gets sent off, he gets a second booking - he's got to play differently then.

"That's just one individual but as a collective, they just weren't at it tonight, very disappointing, and that is a pattern of Tottenham.

"[Son's] playing in chains, he's played for weeks in chains. He's not even thinking about what he's going to do next with the ball, he's just worried about getting control and not making a mistake.

"He's scored goals from the bench, he scored three against Leicester - take him out. Actually, take him out for a few weeks and let him come on from the sidelines. That's just one individual player but it wasn't good enough right the way through the team."
