Ex-Spurs midfielder Jenas blasts Sanchez after Wolves defeat: Conte has a lot of problems

Former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas blasted Davinson Sanchez after their defeat at home to Wolves.

Antonio Conte's side lost ground in the race for the European places on Sunday, losing 2-0 to Bruno Lage's outfit and dropping to eighth, with Wolves now a point ahead of them.

Jenas said: "It was poor, really poor. The game was gone in the first half, defensively all over the place. A lot of Spurs fans are sitting there thinking 'what's going on?'. Defensively in the last couple of games they've been wide open, there for the taking. Wolves took them apart. The mistakes that are being made...

"Davinson Sanchez today was shocking. Body language is important in defence and you need leaders. (Their panicking) just adds to the panic in the stadium.

"The captain (goalkeeper Hugo Lloris) today... these are two really bad mistakes. (First goal) that is as bad as you're going to see from what is supposed to be a top-level keeper, flapping at it like that.

"It could have been four of five easily with the space Wolves had, they were all over the place. Conte has a lot of problems.

"Without Dier, whose stock has gone through the roof in this period, they don't have what it takes to come together and keep a clean sheet."
