Tottenham defender Van de Ven slammed: He's all over the place

Scotland great Ally McCoist says Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven looked lost in their thrashing at Newcastle.

The Holland defender struggled throughout the 4-0 hammering.

McCoist said on TNT during the game: "I have got to say, I think van de Ven has got rollerblades on. I don't know what happened there.

"Anthony Gordon does really well, and I don't know whether it is in Anthony Gordon's head that he's already been down a bit earlier. He cuts inside him and the big fella goes down again, it's unbelievable! Where is he going?

"A really composed finish again right across the goalkeeper but dear me. Shocking back pass in the first place you have to say.

"What a finish again it is. The ball back in from Pedro Porro is shocking.

"The big fella goes to the ground, I don't know what kind of studs he has got in there. Anthony Gordon thinks about it, by the goalkeeper, two nothing.

"We have been speaking about him (Gordon) even before the two goals, he's had a terrific first half but I don't know whether the big fella has got the wrong studs or wrong boots on but he's been all over the place."
