Igor Tudor backing Tottenham players to step up amid Premier League struggles

Igor Tudor has been impressed with the reaction of his under-fire Tottenham squad this week and claimed they have the men to secure Premier League survival.The interim head coach let rip at his players after Sunday’s 2-1 loss at Fulham, saying they lacked in attack, midfield and defence during an extraordinary rant.Only two matches into his short tenure, Tudor’s remarks sparked debate over whether he would see out this season or how a team without a league win in 10 matches would respond, but the Croatian talked up the group before Thursday’s visit of Crystal Palace.
