Striker Dominic Solanke sent a clear message inside the Tottenham locker room amid the crisis the club is currently facing. After the defeat against Crystal Palace, the situation in London is heating up and someone had to step forward.
The English forward called for an immediate reaction from the team, as they are going through a very delicate moment. Tottenham find themselves dangerously close to the relegation zone and, to make matters worse, they will face Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League in the coming days.
Solanke revealed that there was a heated conversation inside the locker room and that everyone is aware of the seriousness of the situation. He assured that the team is ready to move forward, although he admitted that their position in the table is nowhere near where Tottenham want to be. It is worth remembering that the London club has not won in the Premier League since December and has now gone 11 matches without a victory in the competition.
The striker, who has scored just five goals this season for the Spurs, also made it clear that the squad is not looking for excuses. According to Solanke, the entire locker room is taking responsibility for the team’s current situation and they are committed to fighting in every match to improve, start collecting points, and return to winning ways.
Amid this complicated scenario, it has also been mentioned that interim coach Igor Tudor could already have one foot out of the club due to the poor results. The Croatian manager has only been in charge of Tottenham for three matches and has yet to secure a victory.
The situation could not come at a worse time. Next week the Spurs will play in the Champions League against a highly motivated Atlético de Madrid, and shortly after they will visit Anfield to face Liverpool in the Premier League.
Tottenham approach the upcoming matches with the urgent need to collect points and end their poor run of form. Otherwise, the historic London club could face an unthinkable scenario just a few months ago: seriously fighting to avoid relegation.
