"I need to choose the right guys because the boat is going in the direction that I want to go and needs to go and who is in the boat can stay. Otherwise they can bow down, or how do you say that, leave the boat, the Spurs boss said post-match."
"Micky van de Ven's hapless red card, pulling back Ismaila Sarr inside the box when he should have let him run free, was the latest dereliction of duty from one of Spurs' supposed leaders."
"Many of the squad are in self-preservation mode and few look up for the fight as relegation fears have become impossible to ignore."
Tottenham suffered a significant defeat that extended their winless run to 11 league matches, matching their worst performance since 1935. The team squandered a 1-0 lead within 12 first-half minutes, collapsing to face relegation zone proximity. Manager Igor Tudor expressed frustration with player conduct and commitment, suggesting selective squad changes. Key players including captain and vice-captain face suspensions, while defensive errors—notably Micky van de Ven's red card for fouling Ismaila Sarr—highlighted leadership failures. Several squad members appear in self-preservation mode rather than fighting for survival. Xavi Simons was benched, signaling Tudor's concerns about player attitudes and performances.
