Tottenham Hotspur fans have been blasting Rio Ferdinand after the former Manchester United defender made less than pleasing comments about Harry Kane.
During the BT Sport coverage of Tottenham’s opening Champions League game, the former England international said if he was Kane he would ‘be gone’.
Ferdinand said: “If you look at it as if you’re an individual, put yourself in like Harry Kane’s shoes, you’re saying “I’m off”.” (Source: BT Sport via The Metro).
The comments came following yet another 2-2 draw in which Spurs blew a two-goal lead. Kane and Lucas Moura gave Mauricio Pochettino’s side a 2-0 lead, however, Olympiakos fought back to earn a draw in the club’s opening Champions League game (via BBC).
This is the second time this season the Lilywhites have blown a two-goal lead, also doing so away to north London rivals Arsenal.
Ferdinand’s comment have been less than pleasing to some of the Tottenham fans as they took to Twitter to blast the former Leeds United man.
Here is a selection of tweets from the fans of the north London giants:
Ferdinand is one of the worst pundits in the world

Ferdinand is talking as if we’ve just been knocked out the champions league and every cup this season? We’ve kept all our players and bought in 3 promising players this season and yet Kane should leave? Give it a break

Ferdinard said Newcastle fans should be grateful to Mike Ashley, that says a lot about his credibility

Well he then must apply that same logic to Pogba, Dr gea etc .. Oh wait.. Of course he wouldn’t say that..

I think Kane needs to look at his own game because his lack of movement does not make it easy for midfield players to put him through. He can learn a lot from Aguero and how he works the line. As for Rio…Shut it!
