The boss was speaking ahead of Sunday's relegation decider
Rodrigo trained today [Friday]. Patrick, we're going to give him as long as we can, certainly until tomorrow, and see where we're at before we make our final selection for Sunday. Obviously in the striking area, we are not overwhelmed with strikers perhaps. It will be what will be when we find out tomorrow morning, and then pick the final eleven to start the game on Sunday.I will gamble on anyone's fitness if they want to play.
After that, what are the weaknesses of Tottenham? We saw a lot of weaknesses against Brentford last week and we've got to try and exploit. We're going to do that the best we possibly can and we've got to play the best game we possibly can. They have to play the game for the entire period of the game. We can't just what we did against West Ham which is got lost in the second half and didn't recover.
So I've been disappointed from that point of view because we have the opportunity to do that. But we've failed to take it, so we go into Sunday and I hope that we can do two things. If we are to win we need a clean sheet in my opinion because we are not a prolific goalscoring team and then try and win by as many goals as we can.
We’ve actually changed the way we constructed our attacks in every single game actually. So obviously, Sunday’s tactics will be slightly different to what West Ham was and what Newcastle and Man City was.
I have a lot to do on a match day and a lot to decide and a lot to look after. And one of the most difficult things is substitutions times five. It’s hard enough before and now it’s even harder for us because all of a sudden, you make five subs and the coach is crap because his subs were crap and they didn’t influence the game. If you didn’t make five subs, the coach is crap because he didn’t make any subs.
When the opposition manager is telling you, who I’ve known for God knows how many years, you know you're on the right track. The only thing we didn't do was capitalise on our good play and then at the end of the day like everything else in this league, you get punished for not taking advantage when you're in control. So a bit like here, 2-0 up and I’m convinced we wouldn’t have lost. 2-0 up against West Ham and I’m convinced we wouldn’t have lost but we didn't do it.
Like I told you last week, how fast would you run if I pointed a gun at you? You’ll run the fastest you've ever run. You’ll become an Olympic sprinter very quickly.
