16 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Andros Townsend
3. He Can Be A Problem To Deal With At Times
This was demonstrated after Spurs defeated Aston Villa 3-1 at White Hart Lane earlier this season. Andros was involved in an altercation with Spurs fitness coach Nathan Gardiner in a post-match warm down. Townsend was dropped from the senior squad by Head Coach Mauricio Pochettino for the games against Anderlecht and Arsenal after reportedly reacting angrily to fitness coach's instructions during the warm-down. Pochettino said of the incident: If you behave in the wrong way you always need to pay. He needs to learn about football, about behaviour, about discipline, about a lot of things. Football is not only about taking the ball in your feet and playing. You have a responsibility as a professional. Steve McClaren will be hoping he isn't a hassle as United try to climb away from the bottom three before the season's end.
