Darren Bent criticized Newcastle's Nick Pope for a poor performance against Tottenham, specifically blaming him for the Tottenham goal and a near second goal due to poor handling. Bent described Pope's errors as repeating silly mistakes and suggested that a simpler approach of holding onto the ball rather than pushing it out could have avoided these problems.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Bent highlighted specific moments in the match, saying, "For the Tottenham goal, just hold onto it. Don't push it out for a corner. Just hold it. It's not travelling." He expressed frustration that goalkeepers no longer prioritize simply securing the ball instead of risking further mistakes.
