Spurs 'Nowhere Near' Good Enough, Admits Van de Ven

Micky van de Ven criticizes Tottenham's mentality after their FA Cup loss to Aston Villa. Spurs are now out of two cup competitions, with injury concerns rising.

Micky van de Ven has admitted Tottenham's performance against Aston Villa in the FA Cup was "nowhere near" satisfactory, highlighting a critical lack of mentality from the squad. The Dutch defender's comments came after Aston Villa's 2-1 victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which ended Spurs' hopes of FA Cup silverware.

This defeat follows their earlier exit from the League Cup, leaving Tottenham competing solely in the Premier League and Champions League. Manager Thomas Frank acknowledged the disappointment and the pressure to deliver consistent wins and improve performances to satisfy supporters.

Tottenham faces West Ham next in the league, followed by a Champions League fixture. The team is monitoring Richarlison's hamstring injury, with concerns growing about player fatigue due to a demanding schedule of matches played in a short period.
