And out wide, there was a bit more about them in general than Tottenham and they deserved to win.

and I talked about you know John mentioned the word confidence how do you get confidence into a team who are constantly losing or getting the odd draw here and there the draw at Liverpool I think you know one of the things you would do I mean

The only thing I've been compared to was probably for myself was when I was managing the Faroes and I knew we were going to be getting hammered in some matches and yet I was always trying to give the players confidence and trying to plan for the games that we would do ourselves justice in the game and be in the match I suppose.

and how I did it was in picking out the best bits of the matches when we played well and show moments maybe where we nearly scored but it's very difficult to do that with these players because these are players who know the game well they're not going to be caught it too easy and

I think the only way you can get confidence is if you start doing things well.

There's very few of them will come out of the games, out of today's game, with their confidence enhanced to any degree.

If anything, they're going to be worse.

It's a big, big challenge for the manager.

He's going to have to keep plugging away, try to get a result at home to Brighton next week.

If they could do something now with that, well then you go into the rest of the last five games with your confidence enhanced, suddenly you might get a little bit of a spark from some more of the players.

But it's a very, very tough one.

I mean, the manager understands when he's taking the job that they might get relegated and then he gets a chance to restart with different players.

Some will come, some new ones.

Some of the players will go, some new ones will come in.

He gets a chance to regroup next year in the Championship.

But that's not what Spurs would have planned for this season when there was all the positive talk about what they were going to do with

getting rid of Daniel Levy and they wanted to compete for trophies on a regular basis.

But in the now, it's hard to see how the Serby or anyone else is going to get a tune out of them.

But again, he has a week to try and work with them.

How many he had over the last week or so, I'm not so sure.
