AVB: The situation has shifted

Andre Villas-Boas remains confident of guiding Tottenham to Champions League qualification after defeat against Fulham.

Following back-to-back defeats to Liverpool and Fulham, coupled with Chelsea’s win against West Ham yesterday we find ourselves back in fourth place and are four points ahead of Arsenal, who have a match in hand, against Everton next month.

Spurs fans are becoming nervous that we could miss out on Champions League football yet again after last season’s collapse, it could be on the cards again which would be a disaster.

“The situation has shifted, it has become difficult,” the Tottenham manager said.

“We have the direct games against Arsenal and Chelsea which can enable us to get back to third hopefully, or bring Man City closer to us.

“The margin over Arsenal is what we want to build and we have to get the most amount of points from the next games.

“After the international break we have to get back to business and do our job against Swansea and try to collect the points there to put us in a more comfortable position by the time we play Man City.”
