Boy, how much can change in a week! This time last week, we were reacting and taking in the performance that our Tottenham put in against Everton in a 2-1 win. You may remember that we went behind due to a Kevin Mirallas wonder goal before we came from behind to claim all three points.
I also seem to remember that the fans were terrific, and watching on Sky Sports, I could hear the fans signing and getting behind the team for the whole ninety minutes, and even when we went behind, shouts of ‘Come on you Spurs’ and ‘Oh when the Spurs’ came from the stands, and when we completed the comeback, the crowd were buzzing.
The point I am trying to get across is that the players thrived on this atmosphere. It was noticeable. We moved the ball quicker and constantly looked a threat. Roberto Soldado got his goal and things were looking on the up. Then, the next set of fans that turned up at White Hart Lane were almost completely different. I am not going to say anymore than that about the atmosphere at White Hart Lane.
The players do not like this atmosphere, and yes, it was the wrong thing to say, but maybe Emmanuel Adebayor did have a point. The players will not play their best with the fans on their backs’ all of the time. This could even stop success at White Hart Lane. We face Newcastle in the quarter-finals of the Capital One Cup, and I really do worry about our performance, and I am hoping and praying that a good, supportive set of fans turn up on Wednesday 17th December. If we believe, we can win. So, to summarise, I just want all Tottenham fans that attend games to stick by the team, no matter how bad things are going, try to keep your frustration inside and back the team.
