After pundits Craig Bellamy and Paul Merson debated Tottenham's fitness on Sky Sports earlier this week, fans took to Twitter to side show their support for each man. 

Former Wales international Bellamy claimed that Tottenham looked fatigued in their loss to Watford at the weekend. He attributes the fact that nine of the first team players reached the World Cup semi-final, and had a very limited preseason as a consequence of this. As a result, the players are still searching for match fitness in the early weeks of the season.

On the other hand, former England international Merson dismissed Bellamy's opinion, saying that there are plenty of players in the Premier League that featured in the World Cup and are performing. The ex-Arsenal man claimed that The Lilywhites are lacking something mentally still, which is stopping them from winning games like the one they lost.

This is what the fans had to say:

 

But there were plenty of fans that agreed with Merson too:

 

For the first time in my life I find myself agreeing with Merson. These guys are elite athletes who are paid ridiculous amounts of money to kick a football about a park. How can they still be tired from the World Cup????
