Tottenham Hotspur were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw against Leicester City last night at the King Power Stadium.
Spurs went ahead in the first half through Pedro Porro and looked like they were going to cruise to a comfortable victory.
But, they failed to make their chances count and Jamie Vardy ended up punishing them with a headed equaliser just before the hour mark.
Whilst Ange Postecoglou was impressed by Dominic Solanke’s debut, he did admit he perhaps could’ve been more clinical.
There were other below-par performances on the pitch and now talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan has singled out three players who he thinks just aren’t at the level required.

Simon Jordan suggests Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Timo Werner aren’t good enough for Tottenham
Speaking on talkSPORT, Simon Jordan singled out Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Timo Werner, suggesting they have been underperforming.
“I mean, there are a few other players from Spurs that I don’t think are setting the place on fire,” Jordan said.
“I don’t think Brennan Johnson is setting the place on fire, I don’t think Kulusevski sets the player on fire, and they are more of a concern for me about Tottenham’s strength in depth with Timo Werner in the mix to see is this side really going to compete.”
Johnson just hasn’t lived up to his £47.5m price tag and perhaps needs a spell out of the side, with Wilson Odobert having just signed for Spurs.
Kulusevski certainly needs to improve his output this season whilst Timo Werner remains unpolished in front of goal.
Gary Neville also voiced his concern at the lack of firepower coming off the Spurs bench yesterday…
Gary Neville thinks Tottenham’s squad depth could cost them top four
Neville originally predicted Spurs to finish in the top four but changed his mind after seeing the subs that came on against Leicester last night.
“Do you know why I changed? I wasn’t sure earlier on today,” the Sky Sports pundit said.
“Tottenham, I hope they finish fourth, I think they play great football but what I would say is that when the subs came on tonight I thought that could be a problem for them in the sense of the strength in depth.”
