Merse: I worry about De Zerbi criticising Spurs forwards and medical staff

Tottenham drew 0-0 with Nottingham Forest on Saturday and are still waiting for their first Premier League goal of the season; Roberto De Zerbi criticised his forwards for not making "better decisions" and also said he was "not happy" with his medical staff influencing his substitutions

In his latest Sky Sports column, Paul Merson says he would be worried by Roberto De Zerbi's post-match comments criticising Spurs' forward players and medical staff.

After Spurs' goalless draw with Nottingham Forest, De Zerbi was critical of his forwards, saying they need to make "better decisions" in the final third.

Spurs ended the game without a shot on target as their wait for a first Premier League goal of the season goes on.

De Zerbi also revealed he was "not happy" with his medical team telling him that Savio and Destiny Udogie could only play 60 minutes, forcing the Italian to take them off, which halted Spurs' momentum.

I thought Spurs were fortunate against Nottingham Forest - if Neco Williams is a little bit braver, then Forest win. But it's a start for them.

Roberto De Zerbi had a go at his forwards after the game. He also had a go at his medical staff for dictating his substitutions. You say that in the dressing room; don't come out and say it. You need to keep that in-house.
