Hugo Loris said Tottenham’s poor form “reflects what is going on inside the club after their exit from the Europa League” on Thursday, while brandishing their latest performance “an insult”.
Spurs crashed out of the continental competition after losing in the second leg of their final-16 tie against Dinoma Zagreb in extra time. They tied the match with two goals, hoping to advance to the quarter-finals as a whole.
In the wake of Tottenham’s collapse at Maximir Stadium, Loris admitted that internal issues were adversely affecting the squad’s performance and general morale.
What has been said
“It’s just an insult. I hope everyone feels responsible in the changing room, ”the Tottenham goalkeeper told BT Sport.
He said, ‘The team currently shows what is going on inside the club.
“We lack the fundamentals, the fundamentals are lacking. The whole performance is in relation to the same.
“The way we play is not enough. We had a great moment in the past because we could count on solidarity in the team.
“Today, I’m not sure on that.”
Tottenham’s turbulent 2020-21 campaign
The talk of a possible tilt at the Premier League title began after Spurs’ flight began in November, which saw them reach the top of the table in November.
Tottenham scored one point to beat Manchester City 2–0 at home, but a dramatic drop in fortunes was followed by a festive period.
Mourinho’s men became only one of their next six top-flight games, and an impressive 3–0 win against Leeds United in the New Year following their first game on a false morning.
The Spurs lost five of their subsequent eight matches, including six big matches against Liverpool, Chelsea and City, being knocked out of Champions League venues in the process.
The Lilywhites also ruled out of the FA Cup during that period, and although Mourinho made a mini-revival in the form of a five-game winning run in all competitions, the loss to Arsenal on Sunday brought the team back to Earth .
Dinoma left Tottenham’s misery in Europe for the team with only the Carabao Cup left to play for, but they will be the premier underdogs against City at Wembley in the final on 25 April.
Big picture
Mourinho’s position in the Spurs dugout has been called into question amid his side’s precarious form, as well as suggesting that the Portuguese defensive tactics are holding back several key players.
He was handed a three-and-a-half-year contract when he replaced Mauricio Pochettino back on the hot seat in November 2019, but the pressure is building with every passing game and could lead to another worse result against Aston Villa on Sunday. final straw.
Mourinho was brought in to dry Tottenham’s 13-year-old silverware, but they are now in real danger of another trophy-free season and another year without Champions League football.
