O’Hara was compelled to clarify his inflammatory post about Matty Cash’s tackle of Bentancur

Following intense debate and criticism regarding a contentious social media post regarding Matty Cash’s tackle on Bentancur,

Jamie O’Hara provided an explanation. Spurs suffered their third straight league defeat on Sunday,

losing 2-1 at home to Villa. Tottenham was unfortunate in front of goal,

missing a number of easy opportunities and having a number of them saved by Emiliano Martinez.

Giovani Lo Celso gave them the lead,

but Villa tied the score late in the first half and then won it later in the second half.

The Villa defender’s reckless challenge cost the home team Bentancur in the 23rd minute.

Additionally, Ange expressed his displeasure with the tackle in his post-game interview

Jamie O’Hara, a talkSport pundit and former Tottenham player,

also expressed his outrage about the tackle on social media with a post that generated debate.

He made the following post on X:

“2.5 months for Bentancur’s injury absolutely gutted, he looked decent.

Let’s make sure the boys remember next time we play Villa.”

Although he might have intended to carry over his feelings and frustrations from the match to the rematch,

his word choice was unfortunate since many people denounced him for encouraging violence against a fellow professional athlete.

In addition, Gabriel Agbonlahor defended Matty Cash by asserting that mishandled tackles and injuries are common in sports.

Through Birmingham Mail, he stated:

“Unsafe tackles occur in football.”

“I have no doubt that Matty Cash has already contacted Bentancur! Let’s hope he heals quickly!

Later, after facing a lot of criticism from fans, O’Hara was forced to post an apology. He shared:

“You’re reading this incorrectly. I’m not advocating that you hurt him,

as if I would ever want a pro to get hurt; rather,

I’m urging that we make sure we win the game and put pressure on them.

I would never want an injury to occur to one of my fellow pros.”

You may be reading this incorrectly.

I’m not saying hurt him because I wouldn’t want a professional to be hurt; rather,

I’m saying make sure we are doing our best to get one up on them,

meaning winning the game and being on them. I would never want a professional to get hurt.

Given their current injury woes, Tottenham’s upcoming matchup against the reigning champions,

Manchester City, may easily end in another loss for the team.

Ange, who is hoping that Levy and company will support him with the necessary additions early in January to prevent their season from entirely collapsing after such a promising start,

cannot wait for the winter transfer window to open.
