Ange Postecoglou ripped into Timo Werner’s performance in the Europa League draw at Rangers, labelling the German’s display as ‘unacceptable’.
Dejan Kulusevski rescued a point for Spurs in another frustrating evening which saw Werner hooked at half time.
“He wasn’t playing anywhere near the level he should,” Postecoglou told reporters.
“When you’ve got 18-year-olds, it’s not acceptable to me and I said that to Timo.
“He’s a senior international, he’s a German international. In the moment we’re in right now, it’s not like we’ve got many kinds of options.
“I need everyone to at least be going out there trying to give the best of themselves. His performance in the first half wasn’t acceptable.”
The draw leaves Spurs just outside the top eight positions in the Europa League standings, while attentions now turn to Sunday’s must-win Premier League clash against Southampton.
