Tottenham summer signing branded a ‘fraud’ as alarming streak continues

Wait 5 sec.

Jamie O’Hara ripped into Omar Marmoush and Dominic Solanke as their woes in front of goal continued during a 1-0 defeat to Leeds United.Marmoush joined from Manchester City in the summer on an initial loan.Marmoush’s start to life in north London has not been greatHowever, the loan will become permanent in the summer for an initial £50million and a further £10m in add-ons.But his performances will have to improve if Spurs fans are to think he is worth the money.The Egypt international, who has started eight league fixtures for Roberto De Zerbi’s side this term, has just one goal across all competitions this term.Worryingly, his blank against Leeds meant he is still yet to score in an away Premier League fixture ever since he joined City from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025.He lasted just 65 minutes against Leeds before Dejan Kulusevski came on, while Solanke started the game on thee bench and was brought on to offer nothing.And O’Hara, reacting to the defeat on the GameDay Phone-In, was not happy.“Solanke was non-existent when he came on,” O’Hara said.“Marmoush is, like, fraud levels right now.“I don’t know what he’s doing. Did we sign him from Man City? Did we sign his twin brother? I don’t know who this geezer is because he is absolutely garbage.“You’ve got players like [Mohammed] Kudus who wants to put balls in the box and put it into good areas.O’Hara absolutely lost it watching Spurs’ winning run come to an endtalkSPORT“We are now hesitating to put the ball into the box because the strikers aren’t going to score.”Day to forgetTottenham arrived at Elland Road for the 12:30pm in great form.They had won three Premier League games in a row after an awful start to the season.One of those victories was a famous win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but they didn’t really turn up.Leeds used their superior physicality to bully Spurs, and after knocking at the door, Noah Okafor stepped off the bench to score the winner.And after the game, De Zerbi fumed at his side’s failure to win any duels.Okafor’s goal separated the teams but the scoreline didn’t reflect Leeds’ dominanceGettyHe said: “We won no duels, no one-to-ones. There was space to play and we didn’t take the right decisions. “We didn’t show personality or what we are, who we are. It’s a part of the journey. It’s not an excuse and it can be normal in football but we have to be honest.“If you are not honest today the future is not good. If we analyse our second-half behaviour honestly then I think we can become a top team. “We have the physicality and the quality but it’s not just about the physicality game. We didn’t show character, personality or courage.“My players have the ability to come here, play better and maybe win. But maybe we are not ready yet to be consistent for many games in a row. We know where we have to work and improve.Jayden Bogle did manage to avoid a red card for this tackle that would have changed the course of the gamePremier League“I was surprised by the second half as my players worked very well this week. We spoke all week about the intensity and the type of game we would find here in this stadium so it was not a surprise for us.”But De Zerbi feels as if John Brooks should have sent off Jayden Bogle for standing on Mathys Tel‘s Achilles.He said: “I was surprised because in the same position in the second half there were two different fouls, the yellow card for Pedro Porro is not possible. I don’t know if it is a red card or not on Mathys Tel but the parameter of the referee was not good enough for this in both situations.”Spurs are set to submit a complaint to ProRef over the decision.
