Former Tottenham star Jamie O'Hara has let rip at manager Antonio Conte.

The Italian coach had a go at his players, the club, and ownership after a 3-3 draw against Southampton in the Premier League.

Conte accused players of being selfish, of not wanting to play in pressure situations, and stated the owner was responsible for 20 years of the club not winning anything.

"Tottenham's story is this. 20 years there is the owner and they never won something but why?," Conte said to reporters.

"The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stay here. I have seen the managers that Tottenham had on the bench.

"You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment. Until now I try to hide the situation but now no because I repeat I don't want to see what I have seen today because this is unacceptable and also unacceptable for the fans."

"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'," O'Hara told talkSPORT.

"He rested Harry Kane in an FA Cup game, we lost that game, the performance was pathetic. He dug the players out after that and I have no problem with that because it was pathetic.

"Then you go and lose against AC Milan, another pathetic performance, but they are his tactics as well. Yes the players haven't been good enough, they haven't stepped up and some have gone missing but he's to blame as well, these are his tactics and it's diabolical football to watch."
