Igor Tudor has told his new Tottenham stars to do away with excuses as he prepares to haul the underperforming north Londoners away from the relegation battle. Tudor inherits a disheartened - and heavily depleted - squad and wants an immediate reaction as the season hurtles towards the final straight. What I said from the first day here, each of us, each of the players need to give something, something more, something extra, because the position of the club in this moment is not that anybody can accept.' I like to score goals, but in the same way, for sure, you need to give organisation in defence. We want to play this game in a way that our fans will like,' he added.
