“It's worrying times for Tottenham.
I was all for them the other day because when they lost 7-2, I didn't really see an awful lot wrong with that. I thought they got a lot of bad criticism for no reason because that game could've gone either way.
Spurs had good chances in the first half and they could've been three or four up at half-time. At 4-2 they were still in the game, but a mad five minutes really cost them. I backed them then because I thought it wasn't as bad as everybody was making out.
However, what happened on Saturday was an absolute joke. It was a worrying, worrying joke.
In football terms, to get brushed aside and blown away by Brighton was a disaster. It was as worrying as it gets on the football field.
People said to me after the Bayern game that Pochettino looked a bit calm. He was calm because he watched the game and it wasn't as bad as what it looked. Take the last few minutes away and it's 4-2. You'd sit back and think what a great game it was and that it could've gone either way. But the game against Brighton was a joke.
They should be extremely embarrassed. I think the last time Brighton scored three goals in a game I was at school”
