A former Tottenham Hotspur star claims manager Antonio Conte is begging to be sacked after his explosive rant towards his players on Saturday.
The North London side drew 3-3 with Southampton at St Mary's Stadium, despite leading 3-1 with 15 minutes to play in the second half.
Conte laid into his players after the encounter and labelled them 'selfish' following a disappointing week that also saw them eliminated from the UEFA Champions League this week.

Former Spurs midfielder Jamie O'Hara did agree with the message by Conte but not in the manner in which he said it.
"Daniel Levy doesn't pick the team, Daniel Levy doesn't instil a mentality to the players, Daniel Levy doesn't rest Harry Kane in an FA Cup much, Daniel Levy doesn't play a 3-4-3 formation," O'Hara told TalkSPORT.
"I don't disagree with criticism of Levy and I've said it before about taking the club forward, he hasn't helped, he hasn't brought in the best players, but the comments of Conte…
"I don't disagree with the comments about passion, the desire to win, the mentality of the players, but it's how he said it, where he's said it, and the timing of it.
"I can't get behind a manager slaughtering his team when an international break is coming up and he's basically saying to Levy 'I beg you to sack me'."
