''He Needs To Be More Consistent' - Former Tottenham Hotspur Star Criticizes Sheyi Ojo

Published: November 21, 2019

Former Tottenham defender Alan Hutton has criticized Liverpool-owned winger Sheyi Ojo over his inconsistent performances for Rangers.

Ojo has been involved in 10 goals (5 goals, 5 assists) from 23 appearances across all competitions since his arrival at Rangers in July.

Speaking to Football Insider on Thursday, Hutton who was on the books of the Gers between 2000-2008 enthused that the Nigerian has yet to truly show the qualities which pushed his manager Stephen Gerrard into bringing him to the club.

"One that springs to mind is Ojo. He's been very in and out, he came with big promise", Hutton was quoted as saying.

"I still believe that he's got all the ability. Obviously Gerrard hand-picked him, you know that he's got something and I do believe he's shown flashes of it.

"I think he needs to be more consistent, at teams like Rangers and Celtic you're a bit under the microscope, you can't just have the one or two good games, it needs to be seven or eight good games out of the ten.

''Maybe that's where he's finding a bit difficult. I'd like to see a little bit more, hopefully we can see more."

The 22-year-old who is spending the whole of the 2019/20 season at Rangers has only been afforded 13 first-team appearances at Liverpool since his debut.

He spent time out in loan with Wigan Athletic, Wolves, Fulham and French club Reims before moving to Rangers.
