"Speaking to the media after the final whistle, Tudor was asked if he still maintained the confidence that Tottenham could avoid a catastrophic relegation. His response was a mixture of belief in the squad's raw talent and frustration with their application. Tudor highlighted that while the physical quality exists, the psychological baggage from previous regimes and a lack of focus in key moments, such as conceding a second-half goal just 23 seconds after the restart, is what currently separates them from the elite."
"In his first game in charge at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Croatian tactician witnessed a performance that he believes was undermined by deep-seated bad habits within the squad. Despite the heavy defeat, which leaves Spurs languishing in 16th place, Tudor remains defiant about the team's survival prospects, though his diagnosis of the current locker room culture was scathing.

Tottenham lost 4-1 to Arsenal in Igor Tudor's first match in charge at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, leaving the club in 16th place with 11 games remaining and four points above the relegation zone. The defeat featured braces from Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres and extended a run of being winless in the Premier League for 2026 so far. The squad shows physical quality but suffers from entrenched bad habits, psychological baggage from previous regimes, and lapses in concentration at critical moments, including conceding immediately after half-time, undermining consistent performances.
