Former Tottenham man Chris Waddle has criticised the physical side of Harry Winks' game. 

Winks and Spurs fell to a 1-o defeat to RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday night, and Waddle has put that loss largely down to the team's lack of physicality. As well as Winks, he suggested that the likes of Dele Alli and Lucas Moura add very little when the team are without the ball in his criticism of the outfit's performance.

Speaking on Football Daily (20/02/2020), Waddle said: "Winks is probably the best at reading the game out of them lot [Alli, Moura and Spurs' other midfielders]. He's not the most physical. He reads the game well, but there's no physical presence."

Indeed, Winks is certainly a player who gives you more when he is on the ball. In Tottenham's squad, he has the highest passing accuracy at just under 90% (minimum of five matches) and averages more passes per game than any other Spurs midfielder (via WhoScored).

Furthermore, he is quite clearly in the team to orchestrate and keep things moving for the north London club, so this physical weakness that Waddle speaks about can probably be looked past as long as he keeps on doing his job.
