Victor Wanyama's return to Tottenham Hotspur on September 21, 2019, marked a significant moment in the team's season, but it was met with anger and frustration from fans.

Wanyama, a key player for the Harambee Stars, had been linked to a departure from the club, but he was brought back into the fold by manager Mauricio Pochettino for the match against Leicester City.

However, his return was short-lived, as he was substituted out of the game in the 69th minute, just two minutes after coming on, and Leicester City went on to win 2-1.

The loss was a blow to Tottenham's hopes of a top-four finish, and fans were quick to lash out at Wanyama on social media.

One fan wrote, 'Wanyama hatakikani kuwa kikosini kando na uwanjani. Utamuhusishaje kabla ya Dier na Skipp?'

Another fan questioned Wanyama's inclusion in the starting lineup, saying, 'Kumtambulisha Wanyama wakati wa ushinde wa 0-1 ni mchezo. Mambo gani haya? Mrejeshe Luca na jaribu kushinda mcheo huo badala ya kuweka mlinzi mwingine.'

Wanyama's performance was also criticized by fans, with some accusing him of not living up to expectations.

As Tottenham continues to struggle in the league, fans are left wondering if Wanyama's return was a wise decision.
