Thing is, broadly speaking, I think the Dezabi thing has worked better than I honestly thought it would.

I think he has shown that he can be quite pragmatic.

I was worried he would come in and try to get them to bait the press and play dainty little passing moves straight through the middle with the midfielders that Spurs have.

And I thought it'd be completely disastrous.

So this run of games now where they picked up eight points in four games, that was a very happy surprise.

And they come into the final day in a position where really they need one point against Everton to stay up.

And I do kind of think if you can't get a point against Everton at home on the last day of the season to stay up, you don't really deserve to be in the Premier League.

It does kind of come down to that.

I think it's a position you probably would have taken a couple of weeks ago.

And while Moyes and Everton have been very solid this season, and they're not a fun opponent to have to face in that situation, it is something Spurs really should be able to do.

And I've been kind of happy with... When you get a quote-unquote big team who find themselves in this kind of situation near the bottom of the league...

The cliches will be they don't know how to fight and graft and they're not prepared to be in this position.

There's been quite a bit of fight shown.

Richarlison leading the line and running around.

Paulinho having obvious shortcomings but being combative in midfield.

I think Bentancur has made a real difference after coming back in.

You're not seeing like this doesn't look like a team who think they're too good to be in this position.

This does look like a team who still have a lot of injuries.

And you see the times Madison has gotten on the pitch recently, what a difference he makes.

Like having an attacking creative guy with any kind of quality to knit things together, that makes a huge difference.
