‘Stinker’ – Jamie O’Hara savages two Tottenham men after Atletico disaster

Tottenham went into the interval 4-1 down against Atletico Madrid as they suffered an embarrassing capitulation in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League clash.

Igor Tudor started Antonin Kinsky in place of Guglielmo Vicario in what was seen as a bold move by the interim boss.

However, he was left with an egg on his face as the Czech goalkeeper made two calamitous errors during a 17-minute spell that essentially ended the tie.

It was almost unbelievable to watch as he crumbled under the pressure of a big European night to compile Tottenham’s misery.

It was clearly a difficult half of football to watch for a Spurs fan, and to no one’s surprise, Jamie O’Hara went on a rather astonishing rant on social media.

O’Hara rips into Tudor and Kinsky

Kinsky is just 22 and hasn’t played a game of football since Tottenham’s Carabao Cup win against Doncaster Rovers in 2025, while he only made his Champions League debut today.

Despite the aforementioned factors, Tudor opted to go against the grain and start him in place of Vicario, who, to be fair to the Croatian, has also been off colour.

However, Kinsky’s forgettable 17-minute spell will be remembered for all the wrong reasons as he was replaced by Vicario moments after the third goal went in.

And a few minutes later, O’Hara took to X to voice out his frustrations as he slammed Tudor and Kinsky for effectively deepening Tottenham’s misery.

“I’m embarrassed to be a Spurs fan,” said O’Hara via talkSPORT.

“It is nothing short of a disgrace; they should sack the manager at half-time, the tactics are unthinkable. We cannot play that formation.

“To pick Kinsky…everyone’s feeling sorry for him, he’s a professional football player! It’s his job! Put some studs on!”

“It’s actually laughable, the manager changes the keeper five mins in, has a stinker.”

The former Tottenham midfielder wasn’t quite done. He referred to Tudor’s side as the worst he’s ever seen at the club while also rubbing salt into the wounds of Kinsky with another brutal remark.

“The worst team I’ve ever ever seen, this club is absolutely finished, the manager has got to go now,” O’Hara later added.

“My nan could tell you that Kinksy is nowhere near good enough to play in a Champions League knockout game.”

Tottenham should sack Tudor immediately

With their Premier League status hanging by a thread and the second leg of the Champions League just a formality after their humbling in Spain, Tudor has run out of time to prove his worth at the club.

He was brought in as an interim boss to deliver results immediately, by his own admission, so there’s no reason why they shouldn’t bite the bullet immediately.

To be frank, his appointment was bizarre to begin with. Tottenham needed someone with Premier League experience or someone who knows the club well to breathe new life into the club.

Instead, they went with someone who hadn’t ever managed in England, although Tudor does have a proven track record of saving teams from the drop.

Nevertheless, everything he’s touched has turned to dirt at N17, so Tottenham need to make a decision soon or risk dropping down to the Championship.
