Tottenham Hotspur failed to back-up their Boxing Day win against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, drawing 2-2 against bottom of the table Norwich City at Carrow Road (BBC Sport).
It was a fairly disappointing performance from Jose Mourinho’s side, who have ultimately lost ground on the top four after Chelsea came from behind to beat Arsenal (BBC Sport).

Few of the Spurs players were at their best on the evening, but one who came in for specific criticism from supporters on social media was defender Juan Foyth.
The Argentine was starting for the first time in the Premier League this season (Transfermarkt), but he struggled in the game. Indeed, he lost possession 11 times, his passing accuracy was just 70% and he made one major error which led to a goal for the Canaries (SofaScore).
Ultimately, he only lasted 45 minutes as Mourinho hooked him off at half-time and finished the day with a meagre 5.9 match rating from SofaScore.
After the game, plenty of fans slammed Foyth’s performance on Twitter, here is what some had to say…
Absolutely shocking foyth shouldn’t be at spurs and we need a new rb so bad . Defence making to many mistakes

That is so, so bad. Shocking defending, Foyth is so poor.

Just saw the highlights on #MOTD. Aurier and Foyth are diabolical footballers; to start them both is more calamitous than starting with nine men. Also, that VAR decision was a disgrace. Possibly even worse than the decision given against Son at Leicester. #NORTOT #VAR

This narrative that Foyth is a good player is completely false, I cannot think of a game in which he’s played well, abysmal player

Foyth is dreadful

Lo Celso was awful, didn’t look interested at all. Foyth, Aurier and Davison all liabilities at the back
