Let’s see Tuesday if anything meaningful comes out of those comments. To me it sounded like, in his mind, he laid down the law but the reality could be everyone said they wanted to be in the boat so we carry on as before.

You mean to say Spurs players are being passive aggressive? Like we've never seen that before from our senior players.
 
It's a great conversation, and commentary from @thfcsteff.

I think the most poignant conversation of the week was Tudor's comments about who is on the ship. If you read between the fuzzy lines, he is implying that he is about to be ruthless with the ones who aren't up for the fight we find ourselves in. It was a subtle message to some of the players in my opinion.

Given that there’s only 14 or 15 fit to sail to begin with I’m not sure he’ll be able to throw too many overboard.

Vic, Kinsky, Porro, Spence, Udogie, Souza, Romero, VDV (1 game league suspension), Danso, Dragu, Gray, Biss, Gallagher, Sarr, Palhinha, Simons, Tel, Muani, Richi, Solanke

If (big if) we do have Udogie, Spence, Dragu back for next week's fixtures then he's 20 strong and 18 outfielders.

Problem is, if he then takes it down to less with some tough love then it's a fair wait for Kudus and Bergval.

Kinsky isn’t going to play unless there’s an injury. Is Spence fit? VDV is out for Liverpool. Solanke is nowhere near full speed yet. And Muani is dreadful.

It’s not as if we have an embarrassment of riches. He’s working with limited numbers. There’s not much room for manoeuvre, unfortunately. I’m not sure he can afford to jettison any of them, so telling them they’re s hit didn’t seem the best approach to me.
 
If there's no sign of improvement on Tuesday in how we're set up, how we compete and how we defend and attack as a team then he has to go simple as.
Now is not the time for experimenting with formations and messing with the players' minds.
We still have 9 league games, plenty of points to play for. As @Mikey10 has said about 'free-hit' games, there should be no such thing at this stage.
I'm not expecting anything from Liverpool and Chelsea away but other teams can get results against them as they put the effort and organisation into it, we need to do the same.
The other 7 games I think we can get a point or 3 points in most of them but not with Tudor in charge as it stands, still baffled at his appointment.
