Igor Tudor insists Tottenham Hotspur should be 'angry and disappointed' with Fulham defeat - 'I do not accept the situation'

Igor Tudor does "not accept the situation" at Tottenham Hotspur following a fourth successive defeat in the Premier League. After losing the North London Derby in his first game in charge, Spurs were beaten at Fulham. Next up is a home match against Crystal Palace, live on TNT Sports and discovery+, as they look to win only their third home match of the league season.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Igor Tudor insists that his team should be "angry and disappointed" with their latest loss.

Spurs were defeated at Fulham on the weekend as their Premier League campaign continued to spiral with a fourth successive loss.

The north London side lost to Manchester United and Newcastle United before Thomas Frank was sacked and Tudor took over until the end of the season.

Tudor's first two matches ended in defeat against Arsenal and Fulham, as Spurs edged closer to the dreaded drop zone.

"I feel better now," Tudor said ahead of Spurs' next game on Thursday, March 5, where they will look to bounce back at home against Crystal Palace, live on TNT Sports and discovery+.

"Of course, there were emotions and some disappointment after the game [against Fulham] because we are working hard with the players on what they need to do, but the result didn't come.

"Of course, it was a little bit disappointing, but that's how we should feel [after a game like that].

"We need to be angry and disappointed. I won't be the guy who says everything is perfect, smiles and acts like nothing has happened.

"Also it's about me, personally, sending a message to everyone that I do not accept the situation - but we move on. We had a good but short period to prepare for this next game and I have seen the guys react really well.

"We need to be optimistic about tomorrow's game. We play at home against a good team, but we're in our stadium and in front of our fans."

Spurs are currently four points above 18th-placed West Ham United, and are in serious danger of dropping into the relegation zone.

They have not won in the league for 10 games, with their last victory coming on the road against Thursday's opponents, Crystal Palace.

But their home form is even more concerning, having won just two matches in north London this season. They sit 19th in the division on home results alone, but Tudor says the game against Crystal Palace is not a 'must-win' fixture.

"No, there is no must-win game. We need to be approaching all of the games in the right way and doing the best that we can do.

"I've always said that thinking like that doesn't bring you anything."
