It's not really much different, you know.

The mentality, you know, when you're winning every time, you think you're going to win.

And when you're losing games and you're not playing well, it's hard to get out of mindset, well, it's going to happen next week again.

But if the players in the dressing room don't understand that they're in a relegation dogfight, they'll be in it quicker than they think and they'll be closer to the bottom three.

They've got to understand that playing football is probably not going to get them out of this next...

four or five weeks, is scrapping.

Because they're not going to outplay Arsenal next game out.

They're going to have to scrap and fight and defend and counter attack and close the ball down.

And if they don't do that, and Forest and Leeds keep picking up points and West Ham keep picking up points, before they know it, they could be in the bottom three.

So for me, it's not just, and I know they've got a lot of injuries, but for me, it's a mental side of these players.

They're in the position that they don't believe they should be in.

Because they think they're better than that, but they're in that position.

If they don't have the mental fortitude to pick themselves up from defeat after defeat, they'll never get themselves out of this mire.

Never.

So we're going to learn a lot about these Tottenham players as well as the manager.

Because they're in a dogfight.

And are they the type of players that will get you out of a dogfight?

That's the big question.

But Robbo, all three of us have played at big clubs and we've all played under pressure and we've all had bad results.

Nobody never has bad results.
