Amazing interview from Jan on the OS Interviews - tottenhamhotspur.com
Amazing because it is from him, a player who has never sort the limelight and never really put himself forward as a team spokesman. The times he has spoken he has always been brutally honest and at times in the past his honesty in his displeasure for how we have played has perhaps clouded us fans the view of what a top player wants to achieve in his own career and if he can't see himself achieve his own ambitions at our club then we get hurt by the suggestion. But for him to acknowledge this team, the gaffer and talk about the future is light years away from some of his interviews under AVB's last season and Sherwood spell.
For me personally what puts a smile on the face is it is rare you get a modern day footballer that understands what a fan to player connection is and how a connection with the fans is achieved. Harps back to Poch's first interview.
What a difference two years (under Poch) makes...
It was indeed - definitely a low point. Can't believe we almost came back against Benfica under Sherwood. Must have been the team on autopilot.Damn you Jan for standing around minding you own business! That was Sherwood sat in the stands that day!

That whole photo is just a perfect microcosm of those dark days. Look at Eriksen FFS. The team can definitely look quite 'determined' right before an important kick off, but the body language in this photo definitely tells a story.
#ThrowbackThursday remember this?...
It's kryptonite isn't it? :vertna:

Indeed. Those were grim days though.Pure genius.

You know it's bad when you start feeling sorry for some of the players.
Can't believe how far we've come, and so quickly.
Seems even more damning than that - it looked like he was grinning/winking at a media handler, so I imagine it was pretty evident that everyone around the place hated Sherwood.Indeed. Thank fuck Eriksen is still here. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry when faced with that question.

And this is why it was so important to give Poch some time to get it right. We could have still been going through that revolving managerial door, followed by more transition etc. The guys love him & love playing for him. It's obvious. Those that didn't were dispatched. Now look at where we are.Eriksen's dismissal 'yeah what he said'
So glad Sherwood is nowhere near our club anymore.
