Capoue blasts Sherwood and 'English attitude'

Tottenham midfielder Etienne Capoue is quite unhappy with the club. 

The 25-year-old has seen playing time crater since Tim Sherwood took over for Andre Villas-Boas. 

Nabil Bentaleb, a player familiar to Sherwood during the latter's time as a Spurs youth coach, has cemented himself a place in the center of Tottenham's midfield at the expense of Capoue. 

The Frenchman isn't pleased. 

"I'm not surprised. That's the English attitude. They don't know foreign players very well," Cabaye said in interview with L'Equipe, according to ESPN UK. 

"It's tough. I've gone from first-team regular to someone who is putting themselves forward to play. It's the first time I've experienced this."

Capoue has started 14 Premier League games this season and hinted at a move away from White Hart Lane if things don't change. 

"If I don't play, it's going to be difficult," said Capoue. "If something comes along, we'll talk about it."
