Interim manager Igor Tudor urged Tottenham to “fight” to avoid relegation, saying the team must stand up after a string of defeats that has left them near the Premier League's bottom three.
Tudor has overseen four straight losses in all competitions, including a club-record run of six defeats, as Spurs head into a challenging match at Liverpool with only one point separating them from relegation.
The team also faced a 5-2 Champions League loss to Atletico Madrid midweek, with goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky substituted early on his debut after gifting Atletico two goals and a mishap by Micky van de Ven contributing to a second.
Tudor, who survived dismissal calls, said players can choose to fight instead of becoming victims, emphasizing a need to change what they can control and start rebuilding.
Several injuries and suspensions have depleted Tottenham’s squad, including two players ruled out due to concussion protocols after a late head clash in Madrid, and another suspended after a recent defeat, complicating selection for the Liverpool match.
Tudor acknowledged ongoing selection challenges, noting frequent injuries and suspensions, and stressed that a new coach would not automatically fix the club’s problems, urging patience and focus on controllable changes.
The article notes that the team’s form and fitness issues have been central to their struggles, with Tudor insisting the squad must remain calm and committed to improving despite adverse circumstances.
