Tottenham Hotspur’s interim manager, Igor Tudor, has demanded his players take responsibility for the club's precarious position, urging them to “fight” rather than behave like victims ahead of a difficult Premier League fixture against Liverpool The club is facing its worst run since 1975, having failed to win in 11 matches, and currently sits just one point above the relegation zone
Tudor’s tenure has begun with four consecutive losses, contributing to a club-record six straight defeats in all competitions The pressure on the Croatian manager intensified following a 5-2 Champions League loss to Atlético Madrid, a match notable for backup goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky being substituted after just 17 minutes following two significant errors In a press conference, Tudor dismissed excuses for the team's performance as “bullshit,” including any suggestion the club is cursed by “black magic”
The situation is compounded by a severe selection crisis, with Tudor confirming he will be without 12 players for the trip to Anfield Key personnel including Cristian Romero and João Palhinha are unavailable due to concussion protocols, while Yves Bissouma has been added to a growing injury list Despite the challenges, Tudor was defiant, stating that simply replacing him would not solve the club’s deeper issues His message to the squad was unequivocal: “You can cry or fight”
