They look lost, a lot of the players, don’t they? Of course, they’re trying their heart out, they don’t want to be in a relegation battle, they know what Tottenham is all about.
They know what it is all about but with the injury problems they’ve had – and they’ve had more tonight – it just seems to be piling on, one after the other.
Now they have to go to Anfield at the weekend and their three central defenders were off today and Palhinha went off with concussion, so I don’t know if they can play.
Tonight, forget about the result of the game, the overall optics have made things a lot, lot worse. I didn’t like the manager’s behaviour tonight.
