Flocking to Twitter, many Tottenham Hotspur fans slammed the first half performance of midfielder Harry Winks as they take on Crystal Palace this afternoon.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s men are aiming to maintain their 100% start to the Premier League season with a fourth victory on the trot at Selhurst Park, but they’re trying to do so without a number of players.
Son Heung-min, Steven Bergwijn, Davinson Sanchez, Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso are unavailable, with defender Eric Dier now also limping off in the first half of this Palace encounter.
Upon their team’s return to action in the English top flight after a torrid international break, many Lilywhites supporters are are less than impressed with midfielder Winks after his first half display.

Having had minimal involvement throughout the first 45 minutes and given away possession on several occasions, many believe he just hasn’t been effective alongside Oliver Skipp and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in Spurs’ three-man midfield.
Here’s what they had to say about the 25-year-old on Twitter, with one angry supporter calling him an “awful, awful footballer”.
