Jamie Carragher slams Emmanuel Adebayor as a "disgrace"

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has labelled Tottenham Hotspur striker Emmanuel Adebayor a "disgrace".

The Spurs forward scored twice as they beat Southampton 3-2 on Sunday, but the Reds legend criticised the Togolese man for his lack of consistency.

Carragher told Sky Sports News: "You can criticise [former Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas] for putting him in the reserves, but Arsene Wenger got rid of him, Roberto Mancini got rid of him, AVB tried to get rid of him, I'm sure if Tim Sherwood, at the end of the season, or if a new manager comes in, will try and get rid of him.

"So let's not get too carried away with Adebayor. For me a player like that is a disgrace, really. If he can play like that with that ability, why isn't he doing it every week? He should be. Why isn't he like Didier Drogba?'

"So he comes in for a few games, does well and everyone's saying how great he is. AVB should have played him a lot more, should have done this. Why can't he do this every week?"

Adebayor has scored three goals in two games since he was recalled to the Spurs side under Sherwood.
