Dejan Kulusevski demands more from Spurs teammates – ‘Everyone needs to do a little more’

Dejan Kulusevski has issued a stirring call to arms, urging his Spurs teammates to rally and turn the tide in a season that has yet to meet expectations. The Swedish international’s message is clear: action is needed on the pitch.

Tottenham’s recent struggles: A worrying trend

Tottenham Hotspur have endured a dismal run of form in recent weeks, managing just one win in their last eight matches across all competitions.

Their solitary victory during this troubling spell came in emphatic fashion, a 4-0 triumph over Manchester City, a result that seemed to hint at brighter days ahead for Ange Postecoglou’s side. However, the optimism generated by that performance quickly faded.

Since then, Spurs have played three Premier League games, losing two and drawing one, while their Europa League campaign has also faltered, with two draws leaving them outside the top eight in the league phase.

Currently sitting ninth in the Europa League group phase due to goal difference, Tottenham’s lack of consistency has also seen them slip into the bottom half of the Premier League table as well.

Dejan Kulusevski to Spurs teammates: ‘We’ve got to start winning games’

The Lilywhites’ recent struggles have not gone unnoticed within the squad, and Dejan Kulusevski has emerged as a voice of urgency, calling on his Spurs teammates to rise to the occasion.

Speaking to TNT Sports (12/12/24 – 10:05 pm) after their latest draw, the Swedish midfielder made his feelings clear, emphasising the importance of ending their winless run.

He said: “We’ve got to start winning games. We haven’t won in a couple of weeks so it is time to win on Sunday. Everyone needs to do a little bit more than we’re doing right now. Great support today from the fans, but as I said, we have to win on Sunday.”

Kulusevski’s remarks underline the growing frustration within the camp, but they also serve as a reminder of the high expectations placed on this squad.

The midfielder’s call to action reflects a shared recognition that improvement is essential, not just to climb the table but also to re-establish Tottenham as genuine contenders on multiple fronts.

Tottenham’s stakes: Why winning now matters

As Tottenham approach a critical juncture in their season, the stakes could not be higher. The team’s current form is threatening to derail their aspirations for a top-four finish in the Premier League, a goal that remains pivotal for securing Champions League football next season.

Moreover, their underwhelming performances in the Europa League have cast doubts on their ability to contend for silverware, raising the spectre of another season without tangible success.

If Spurs fail to turn things around soon, the consequences could be severe. A prolonged slump would not only impact morale but also risk alienating the fanbase, whose support has been unwavering despite the team’s struggles.

This is a defining period for Ange Postecoglou and his squad, as every match takes on added significance in shaping their season’s narrative.
