Tottenham Hotspur defender Japhet Tanganga has been singled out for heavy criticism this evening, owing to his display in the club’s meeting with Chelsea.

Antonio Conte’s men returned to action a short time ago, no doubt brimming with confidence on the back of a remarkable comeback win over Leicester City in midweek.

When all was said and done at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, however, the Lilywhites were brought firmly back down to earth.

An altogether lacklustre display ultimately saw Spurs put to the sword by two goals to nil, dealing the club’s top-4 hopes a considerable blow in the process.

Hakim Ziyech opened the game’s scoring in stunning fashion early in the 2nd-half, before a Thiago Silva header a short time later assured that Chelsea tightened their grip on 3rd place in the Premier League table.

‘Not good enough’

Back on the Lilywhite half of north London, on the other hand, the inquest will now get underway.

An underwhelming performance on the part of his side at Stamford Bridge will no doubt leave Antonio Conte more convinced than ever before that Tottenham’s squad requires major reinforcement, and soon.

One member of the visitors’ lineup to have enjoyed a particularly difficult evening, meanwhile, comes in the form of Japhet Tanganga.

As highlighted by the stat-line below, stopper Tanganga endured an outing to forget on Sunday, struggling on both sides of the ball before eventually being hooked with 57 minutes on the clock:

And the Spurs faithful evidently picked up on as much, having taken to social media in their absolute numbers post-match to reiterate the widespread opinion that Tanganga, all told, is simply ‘not good enough’ to play a regular part for the club:
