Igor Tudor says Spurs need to show ‘more of everything’ as relegation fears grow with defeat to Fulham | OneFootball

Igor Tudor insists that he wants to see more of “everything” from his Spurs side after they were beaten by Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Tottenham’s 2-1 loss against their London rivals means they have now gone 10 Premier League matches without a win.

“You need to have the quality to score the goal,” Tudor said. “You need to have quality players to score the goal, otherwise you cannot defend all the time. 

“But when you are in bad moment, you have the quality of player, but then you lack the defending and running and winning the duels. So what to do? That’s the big question in the future. 

“We need to find a formula, what we want to be, what we can be in this moment. So that’s very difficult to understand. We have the quality, but also, football is a sport of running and duels. I have a sensation that the Fulham players always arrive before the Spurs ones. 

“They arrive before us, they predict where the ball is going to be and we are always late on everything.

“We are lacking running in the middle and we are lacking the ability to stay, suffer and not concede the goal. It’s an amazing situation.

“I want to see everything more. Everything.”

Despite Spurs’ poor performance Tudor also insisted that Fulham’s first goal should have been disallowed after Raul Jimenez appeared to push Radu Dragusin in the back.

The push, he says, was similar to that from his striker Randal Kolo Muani on Gabriel Magalhaes in the north London derby last week. That goal would have made the match 2-2, but the goal was disallowed for the foul and Spurs went on to lose 4-1.

“Of course it’s a foul,” he said. “99 out of 100 people will say it’s a foul, I believe, because it’s so obvious. 

“Sometimes the criteria does not have consistency. Last week the same thing happened in the game against Spurs. Also one situation before [against Liverpool] Spurs conceded a goal, they didn’t get a foul for the same thing, incredible.

“He [Jimenez] was thinking how to cheat. So, he cheated by pushing the player and then they scored the goal. It’s cheating.”

The Croatian was asked whether he asked the referee why the foul was not given.

He answered: “I was too nervous to speak with him, because it’s so obvious, you know. Sometimes they don’t understand it enough even if it is just a small contact.

“If that gives you advantage to score the goal, you need to cancel it. When he pushes with his hands and don’t watch the ball it is a foul. 

“Sometimes it’s easy to get advantage, so it is ridiculous to not give the foul.”
