Tudor, 47, made the bold call to drop for Antonin Kinsky, who had not played in 132 days.

The decision immediately backfired, with Tudor feeling the need to following two calamitous errors.

would quickly go 4-0 down in the 21st minute and despite Pedro Porro pulling one back before the break, did not mince his words at half-time.

The 39-year-old told Adrian Durham on talkSPORT : “I’m absolutely embarrassed to be a Spurs fan. I’m embarrassed to be affiliated with this football club. It is nothing short of a disgrace. The manager is a fraud.

“The manager needs to go, sack him at half time. It’s a disgraceful performance from the players.

“The tactics, unthinkable. To set up 3-4-3 against Atletico Madrid is embarrassing. We cannot play that formation.”

O’Hara then took aim at the decision to pick Kinsky.

The former Billericay boss continued: “He said it’s about experimenting. You cannot experiment in the Champions League playing 3-4-3 and to pick Kinsky….

“Everyone’s saying all of a sudden they’re feeling sorry for this guy… he’s a professional football player. He’s a professional goalie. It’s his job. He can’t kick the ball.

“It’s their job to look through to wear the right footing. Put some studs on, you’re falling over the ball. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

As O’Hara’s rant went on, , who slipped in the build-up to Atletico’s second goal, faced his wrath.

He fumed: “I honestly cannot believe I’m sat here watching this garbage. [Micky] Van de Ven should’ve been sent off. He doesn’t want to be out there. They give us a sympathy vote VAR by not sending Van de Ven off.

“This could be 9-0, and to be honest, I hope we get pumped because this manager has got to go and the only saving grace out of anything is that we get pumped tonight.

“The Tottenham board might do something for once and actually sack this guy because he is absolutely shocking. I could do a better job at managing this football club.

“They can’t even pass a ball. They cannot string two passes together. This club is absolutely gone. The players are absolutely gone.

“They don’t want to be there. They don’t want to play. for this manager. It is nothing short of a disaster. We are going down.

“This club is finished right now, and this is an absolute embarrassment to even watch.”

Julian Alvarez grabbed a fifth for Atletico shortly into the second-half, with netting on 76 minutes and the match finishing 5-2.

After the game, a shell-shocked Tudor attempted to explain his Kinsky decisions.

The Croatian said: “I’ve been coaching for 15 years and have never done this.

“It was necessary to preserve the guy, preserve the team. An incredible situation.

“Before the game it was the right choice, with pressure on Vicario and another competition, Antonin is a very good goalkeeper.

“After this happened of course it’s easy to say it’s not the right decision.

“I explained to Toni after, he’s a bright guy, a good goalkeeper, unfortunately it happened, big mistakes in a big game. This start was too much for us when we are fragile, when we are weak.”

Tottenham will return to action on Sunday with a tough trip to .

But whether Tudor will be in the dugout at Anfield remains to be seen.
