"For a club of Tottenham's stature, we need to win more than 11 out of 37 [league] games [in 2025], This is part of a longer journey; it's not a quick fix. We are doing everything we can to improve things, bit by bit. I think slowly, bit by bit, adding those layers. So, we are competitive in the games where not everything is perfect. That was a big step against Palace."
"That was a big step against Palace. It's definitely a quality you need to have if you want to achieve something big. One thing's for sure: you're not going to play 38 perfect games. You're going to play at least 10 s*** games. Can you win three or four of them 1-0 on a rainy day? That's a lot of quality in that."
Tottenham finished 2025 with poor league form, recording only 11 wins from 37 matches and just two victories in their last nine Premier League games. Improvement is described as gradual rather than a quick fix, with a focus on adding tactical and mental layers to become competitive when performances are imperfect. The team aims to grind out low-quality 1-0 wins and use a gritty 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace as a platform. Tottenham travel to Brentford to start 2026; Brentford are unbeaten in three and sit one point above Spurs after a 4-1 win over Bournemouth.
