The defeat at Bramall Lane dealt a massive blow on their chances of playing Champions League in 2020-21, and the performance has got Alan Shearer wondering why Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld were both on the bench given how defensively inept Tottenham looked at the back. “They were simply awful in Thursday’s 3-1 defeat by Sheffield United. It has basically ended any lingering hope they had of qualifying for next season’s Champions League,” the f...
