I believe more': Tudor insists Spurs going in right direction despite third loss

"I will tell you now, maybe it will sound strange, but I believe more after this game than I believed before. I saw something. 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 leave the boat."

"Unfortunately this is the moment that we pay everything. One red card changes everything. When players come back I'm sure we will have a good team and the victories will come. It's not easy to accept the moment where we are now, but it is how it is."

"I cannot tell the guys nothing after this game. They gave everything. Unfortunately, we pay every detail. We need to stay together now. It's very difficult. We need to keep working. Try to help these guys, because I see them every day, they care."

Tottenham suffered a 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace, dropping to one point above the bottom three after Micky van de Ven's red card triggered a collapse. Despite the toxic atmosphere and three consecutive losses under interim manager Igor Tudor, he expressed renewed belief in the team's direction. Tudor emphasized the importance of selecting committed players and maintaining unity during this difficult period. He acknowledged the impact of the red card as a pivotal moment but refused to discuss his own future, instead focusing on keeping the squad together and working toward victories when injured players return. Nine games remain in the season.
